Though an often neglected figure in the pantheon of soul and pop music, Arthur Alexander influenced the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and helped create the inimitable "Muscle Shoals Sound" when he recorded the first single ever at FAME studios--1961's "You Better Move On." Although he recorded sporadically throughout the '70s, '80s, and '90s, and helped bridge the gap between soul and country music as both a singer and a writer in Nashville, he never again matched his '60s fame. Alexander passed away in 1993.
