NASHVILLE’S HISTORIC TEMPLE
OF SOUND
RCA STUDIO B was built in 1957
and was operated until 1977. It would become known as the birthplace
for the “Nashville Sound,” "a style characterized by
background vocals and strings that helped establish Nashville
as an international recording center, located on Nashville's
Music Row." (1)
Studio B is now operated as a
museum by the Country Museum Hall of Fame®. As an important
part of America's musical history it serves today "as a
popular cultural attraction and as a classroom for students.
For more details about the history
of Studio B which was "once home to musical titans such
as Elvis Presley, Chet Atkins, Eddy Arnold, Roy Orbison, and
the Everly Brothers," see RCA
Studio B's website which includes many historic photos and
recordings.
