A big first hit recording, Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman. The studio produced further hit records for Wilson Pickett, James & Bobby Purify, Aretha Franklin, Clarence Carter, Otis Redding, and Arthur Conley, enhancing Hall's reputation as a white Southern producer who could produce and engineer hits for black Southern soul singers. He produced many sessions using guitarist Duane Allman. He also produced recordings for other artists, including Etta James, whom he persuaded to record Clarence Carter's song "Tell Mama". However, his fiery temperament led to the end of the relationship with Atlantic after he got into a fistfight with Aretha Franklin's husband, Ted White, in late 1967.

RIP Rick Hall You will be missed and thanks for all the great music

Thanks, for the heads up, mud.

So sorry to hear about Rick Hall. He and Muscle Shoals definitely made a mark in the music world where legends and legendary memories were made. It all made life richer.

Condolences to family and friends.
