Roe Erister "Rick" Hall (January 31, 1932 – January 2, 2018) was an American record producer, songwriter, and musician who became known as the owner of FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

Hall was inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in 1985 and also received the John Herbert Orr Pioneer Award. In 2014, he won the Grammy Trustees Award in recognition of his lengthy career. Hall remained active in the music industry with FAME Studios, FAME Records, and FAME Publishing.

Clarence Carter - Tell Daddy
Carter recorded this at FAME in '66. Etta James recorded it as Tell Mama later, also at FAME. Great music poured out of that place.

This is the soundtrack from the documentary and takes you through the years from Fame, Muscle Shoals Sound and the other studios. Rick Hall was the early driving force but so many made it happen.
