Ol Smoke Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 There was a documentary made of "Fame Records" in Muscle Shoals, Alabama in 2013 and appeared on the Discovery Network. If you love 1960's and early 1970's R&B and soul music you have to see this documentary. I watched it on Netflix. It will blow your mind as to who was playing behind those gold album and record producing black singers back then. Four white boys from a local high school in Muscle Shoals. Oh yeah. It blew me away. It is one of the most intense biographies of how music progressed from the 50's to the R&B an soul hits of the '70's. Wilson Pickett and Aretha Franklin got their start there. So did Lynnrd Skynnrd and The Allman Brothers Band. Did you know that Gregg Allman was the first modern era slide player to use a glass slide on southern rock music? That story is fascinating how Gregg Allman, all by himself, started Southern Rock music. Check it out. Quote
