Aretha sang

Magic can happen anywhere, at any time, to almost anybody.

Take Aretha Franklin, for example.

In an innocuous two-story building with a barn-like roof on a side of a nondescript street in Muscle Shoals, Alabama is the home of FAME Recording Studios (short for Florence Alabama Music Enterprises.)  Music lovers will know it well. 

They were small, but were in the right place at the right time. An early hit came in the mid-1960s, when famed producer, Jerry Wexler (also known for Wilson Pickett and Ray Charles) brought his freshly signed artist, Aretha Franklin, to FAME.

Her first cut at FAME was the million-selling double-sided winner, I Never Loved A Man and Do Right Woman.

And the rest is history.  Read more here courtesy of Forbes.com
