Muscle Shoals

In a tiny Alabama town where racial hostility was prevalent, a group of unassuming locals came together to create music that would last for generations, giving birth to the incomparable "Muscle Shoals sound." From the early days of FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, this unlikely alliance of white country boys and black session musicians laid down a funk and groove that would become legendary. With the participation of iconic artists like Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, and Percy Sledge, the film chronicles the story of how these ordinary folks created extraordinary music in one of the most unexpected places - a recording studio on the Tennessee River.
