Historic Muscle Shoals Recording Studio Closes

"NEW YORK (Billboard) - Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, the Alabama facility where artists including the Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan (news), Willie Nelson, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bob Seger (news) recorded classic songs, has closed.

The studio, owned since 1985 by indie blues label Malaco Records, closed last month; a film production company is in the final stages of purchasing the building.

Musicians Jimmy Johnson, David Hood, Barry Beckett and Roger Hawkins, known collectively as the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, founded Muscle Shoals Sound Studios in Sheffield, Ala., in 1969. A Rolling Stones session at Muscle Shoals featuring sideman Jim Dickinson, who played on the Stones' "Wild Horses," is featured in the film "Gimme Shelter," which documents the band's tumultuous 1969 U.S. tour.
