	Rick Hall - Biography - AOL Music
		As the owner and chief producer at legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Rick Hall was the General Patton of the music industry in the '60s, assembling an army of talented songwriters, musicians and producers that virtually conquered the world of soul music and gave birth to the so-called Muscle Shoals Sound.
		Yet the comparison to General Patton is not without reason, for Hall's renowned mistreatment of his studio musicians and dictatorial approach to producing eventually pushed artists and labels away from his studio, costing Hall many of the artists and musicians that recorded at FAME in the '60s and early '70s.
		Today Rick Hall's studio is as strong as ever, boasting a successful lineup of in-house writers who have scored hits with country artists such as Reba McEntire, Blackhawk and Tim McGraw, as well as home-grown talent in the form of country band Shenandoah.

		The studios were sold to Malaco in 1985 and the sound remains intact to this day and can be heard on the contemporary work on this label by the likes of Bobby 'Blue' Bland, Dorothy Moore, Z.Z. Hill and Shirley Brown.

		They started a little studio in one of those buildings right above the corner drugstore, and the room that they were using used to be a podiatrists office and they had been making fake arms and legs in there before, so there were lots of those things laying around.
		But he kept the name and moved across the river to Wilson Dam highway and built a studio and started to do basically the same thing by himself and gathered some musicians around himself, Peanut Montgomery, Jerry Carrigan, David Briggs, and some of those people and then he came across Arthur Alexander.
