In 1969, a quartet of session musicians who had featured on countless hits at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, decided to go their own way. They founded the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, which soon began drawing some of music’s biggest names—Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Duane Allman; just to name a few. While Stan Munsey Jr.’s name isn’t as instantly recognizable, his contributions to music are vast.
