Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section was based in the Alabama town Muscle Shoals, the site of legendary recording studios and home to many skilled musicians. Some of their members included Jimmy Johnson (guitar), Roger Hawkins (drums), David Hood (bass), and Barry Beckett (keyboards).
Formed in 1967, the group originally worked at the FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals. In 1969, they left Fame and started the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio.
The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section were inducted into the Alabama Hall of Fame in 1995 for a "Lifework Award for Non-Performing Achievement."
