Episode 11
Episode date - November 25, 2016
Fame was a very bust place in 1967, and it didn’t need to worry about changing with the changing times, because the studio itself was setting trends.
Rick Hall remained open-minded to new ideas and artists, resulting in a few obscure ‘should-have-been hits’, and the occasional artist who rose to stardom. With this show, we cover both sides of that coin playing a few almost forgotten rarities, and then focusing on the early studio work of Clarence Carter.
