American Sound Studios were recording studios located in Memphis, Tennessee, which operated from 1964 to 1972, founded by Chips Moman. Artists who recorded at American Sound Studio included Elvis Presley, Joe Tex, Wilson Pickett, Bobby Womack, Joe Simon, Merrilee Rush, Aretha Franklin, Oscar Toney Jr., Neil Diamond, Dusty Springfield, B. J. Thomas, Petula Clark, Roy Hamilton, and The Box Tops. Between the years of 1967 and 1971, 122 Top 10 records were recorded there using the same rhythm team. They were also known as the “827 Thomas Street Band” after the address of the studio. They later became known as The Memphis Boys. American Sound Studio folded in 1972, and the building was torn down in 1989. In the place where Elvis stood and sang “Suspicious Minds,” “Kentucky Rain,” and “In The Getto” is a Family Dollar store with a County historical marker, not exactly fitting for the KING. The Memphis Boys, American Sound Studio’s House Band, was composed of drummer Gene Chrisman, bassists Tommy Cogbill and Mike Leech, guitarist Reggie Young, pianist Bobby Wood, and organist Bobby Emmons. I’m honored to have with me today, Mr. Bobby Wood, the piano player of the group, who is now in Garth Brooks studio band.
