    The staff at American Studios had perfected their craft so well that hits seemed to be second nature to them.  

    Hits rolled out of the studio with seemingly effortless consistency. Even more remarkable was their output’s ability to become evergreens, as a ridiculously large percentage of their songs still retains popularity to this very day. This show focuses in on a studio working at the top of its game.

    Featured tracks include;

    1. Since You’ve Been Gone – Aretha Franklin
    2. My Special Prayer – Joe Simon
    3. Nine Pound Steel – Joe Simon
    4. Skinny Legs and All – Joe Tex
    5. I Don’t Want Nobody – The Masqueraders
