The 18-foot tall semi-abstract sculpture of a 1950s-era singer was created from recycled aluminium by Tuscumbia metalwork artist Audwin McGee. Unveiled in September, 2012, it is the first of a series of sculptures which pay tribute to Muscle Shoals music legacy. Sculptures are planned for Florence, Tuscumbia and Muscle Shoals and a grouping of 30-foot-tall music-related sculptures will be placed in a sculpture garden on the Tennessee River. The recycled aluminium for the statues was donated by local company Wise Alloys.

Unveiled in November, 2014, the second in the Singing River sculpture series depicts a bass player sitting on a session stool. Sculptor Audwin McGee modeled the work on Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section bassist David Hood. This sculpture is well-lighted at night and was also made from recycled aluminium donated by Wise Alloys.
