Alabama Music Hall of Fame

Happy birthday to a 2023 AMHOF Inductee, Lenny LeBlanc! 🎊

A successful songwriter and singer, it was nearly impossible to turn on the radio in the late 70’s without hearing Lenny LeBlanc & Pete Carr’s hit ballad, “Falling.” LeBlanc was an integral part of the phenomenon that became know as the "Muscle Shoals Sound". Even though there were plenty of friends and other career distractions, he knew where he wanted music to take him and he possessed the drive to make it happen.

Everyone at the Hall of Fame is sending you huge birthday wishes! 🎂

For Alabama fans, June means more than the start of summer.

From 1982 to 1997, Alabama’s June Jam brought thousands of fans to Fort Payne, Alabama, hometown of band members Jeff Cook, Teddy Gentry, and Randy Owen. Headlined by the group, the festival drew crowds of up to 60,000 and raised more than $20 million for charity.

After a twenty-five-year hiatus, June Jam returned in 2023, once again filling Fort Payne with music fans as performers played to a sold-out crowd, raising funds for disaster relief.

Inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005, Alabama helped redefine country music, proving that a self-contained, rock-style band could dominate both the charts and the stage. Between 1980 and 1993, the group scored more than thirty No. 1 country hits, sold millions of albums, and became one of the most successful acts in American music history.

Jimmy Hughes, one of the pioneers of the Muscle Shoals Sound whose 1964 hit song "Steal Away" was among the early hits to come out of FAME Studios, has passed away. We send our deepest condolences.

Today we remember Roger Hawkins, who passed away 5 years ago today.

One of the greatest drummers to ever sit behind a kit, Roger was the groove behind countless soul, R&B, and rock classics. As a key member of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and co-founder of Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, he helped shape the sound of American music, laying down the beat on tracks by The Staples Singers, Paul Simon, Percy Sledge, and so many others. His playing was subtle but powerful, and always in service of the song.

Grateful for the music he gave us. Rest easy, Roger.🥁🖤
