Skynyrd put you on my map!

[Rob50strat]

...I am amazed that there was no mention of Lynyrd Skynyrd... huh???

I had heard some artists over time mention going to "Muscle Shoals" to record and had a curiosity about it. In finding my favorite Bob Seger track today (I'll post), the fan made video mentioned it, so I looked it up and found myself here. This answered the questions I had in just 9 min. & 7 seconds. VERY interesting, and it IS a very distinctive sound these studio musicians (seems unfair to call them they...they are obviously so much more) give artist's music.THANK YOU @dickatfame for this! :D

[mandiemag]

@mandiemag For @dickatfame - It's a video for "Beautiful Loser" by Seger. It was made by @kperk014 and of course, You Tube won't let me share the link with you (From their own site!? That's just ignorant!) Anyway, he did very a nice job of acknowledging the participating musicians at Muscle Shoals, and this song is a great example of that amazing, unique sound.Thanks again for compiling this little bit of history for curious people like me!

memories that I will have forever wow, as a young man coming up on the southside of Chicago IL, I was greatly influenced my the sounds that came from The Shoals, Bobby Womack, Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, The Staple Singers just to name a few! I had no idea I would one day get the awesome oppourtunity to record there with David Hood, Clayton Ivey and some of the greatest musicans in the world! Thanks fellas STAN MOSLEY

[fiddlefolk]

It is amazing to me that so much of my favorite music through my life has come out of this place. Such a great blend of country,r&b,soul and southern gospel! Between Memphis,Motown and Muscle Shoals, some of the best feel good music of all time!

[justinlane5]

im a musician from Florence, and my band plan to record at fame in the near future, maybe we will be the next big thing from fame.

[dixiehomegirl]

Nope, pretty sure the announcer is Jimmy Oliver - a local DJ from WQLT.

[thewadsworth]

[jadasgigi]

[ASTROHOTROD]

[bummerwolf]

My mom hung out while all that was happening. Thank God she passed on her love of soul music to me!

I ll give Macon a thumbs up, but Jimmy Johnson, is the man.

[sheffieldsound]

I grew up here and know or have meet alot of these people. It still gives me chills to watch and hear the old clips. There is still a great deal of talent here. Were not done yet.

[Mr21Roberto21]

@sheffieldsound Bob Seger his silver bullet band couldn't record it the way he wanted it so he went Jimmy and the boys to get it right! Bob Seger and Ronnie Vanzant are my 2 favorite song writers!

[gabbardi]

@sheffieldsound Dude you are so lucky.

[briankofke]

@sheffieldsound How do you bring more talent in? What is there to offer? I want to play, and I do so for large sums of money, but to move there, from my point of view, is a dead end. Convince me.

[peckster68]

This is outstanding video work!!!!

It put chillbumps on me and I'm from Macon, Ga. This is the real home of southern rock.

I watched it on 22 inch LCD in high quality large view. Just KILLER SHIT. Dick you rule!
