The studio opened here in 1969 when the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section (known as the Swampers) left FAME Recording Studios to start their own enterprise. The studio was the setting for Cher’s 1969 album titled 3614 Jackson Highway. The album’s cover featured Cher and her band standing in front of the studio building. This success was followed by a multitude of artists recording here including Leon Russell, Jimmy Cliff, Linda Ronstadt, Rod Stewart, Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Millie Jackson, Willie Nelson, Boz Scaggs, Bobby Womack, Bonnie Bramlett, Wendy Waldman, Mary McGregor, Art Garfunkel, Peter Yarrow, Ronee Blakely and many others. In the late 1970s, the studio relocated to Alabama Avenue. In 2013, the Muscle Shoals Music Foundation bought the studio with plans to develop the site as a museum of Muscle Shoals music history. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
