The making of a #1 Hit. Muscle Shoals Sound Studio w/ The Swampers, Mary McGregor Part I

Note: Don't forget to see Part II, just click on my username and it'll be there. Here is a rare glimpse into a session at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio during a 1970's recording session that produced Mary McGregor's #1 hit song "Torn Between Two Lovers." Pete Carr, Lead Guitar for Muscle Shoals Sound says: "Peter Yarrow, who heard of us from Paul Simon, brought in a young lady named Mary McGregor which he and our piano player Barry Becket were to produce. Peter narates the video and we studio guys go through our usual setup, tuning, working out the song and recording etc. You can probably tell we were nervous with cameras on us the whole time. It is a little intimadating when you are trying to work and don't want to make a fool out of yourself. It all turned out very well I thought. I good one look in the studio where we made hundreds of records but just a small look at the varied styles of music we could do from week to week."
