In 1968, Bobby Goldsboro recorded “Honey” at RCA Studio B. A massive crossover success, the Bobby Russell–penned song sold over a million copies in its first three weeks, spent five weeks at No. 1 on "Billboard’s" Hot 100, and three at No. 1 on the Hot Country Singles chart.
In the mid-1970s, Gary Stewart helped stage a honky-tonk revival with raw, back-to-basics hits like “She’s Actin’ Single (I’m Drinkin’ Doubles).”
Gillian Welch & David Rawlings recorded "Time (The Revelator)" at RCA Studio B. The studio’s historical significance added meaning to the album’s richly layered examinations of time, truth, myth, music, and even references to Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley.
Trumpet player Al Hirt is rightfully associated with New Orleans, but his biggest hits were cut in Nashville. His 1963 instrumental smash “Java” was recorded at RCA Studio B with Chet Atkins producing and the A-Team session players.
Elvis Presley won his first Grammy, for Best Sacred Performance, for “How Great Thou Art," the title track to his second gospel album, in 1967. It was certified gold by the RIAA in February 1968 and has since been certified triple platinum.
Eddy Arnold scored a No. 5 country hit with “Tennessee Stud,” a recording that took more than seventy takes to capture. Since then, it has become a standard covered by Johnny Cash, Doc Watson, and others.
Husband and wife Boudleaux and Felice Bryant wrote more than six thousand songs together. Many would come to be regarded as pop and country classics, including several recorded by the Everly Brothers in Studio B ("All I Have to Do Is Dream," "Bird Dog," and "Devoted to You.")
Guy Clark’s debut album was first recorded at RCA Studio A. Unhappy with the results, Clark scrapped the sessions. With scant budget left, he and producer Neil Wilburn slipped into Studio B to create the laid back, authentic sound heard on "Old No. 1," released November 7, 1975.
Chet Atkins had encouraged Jerry Reed to be himself. “Guitar Man,” which Reed cut at Studio B with Atkins, showed off his singular personality and guitar skills, which he also brought to Elvis Presley’s version of the song.
Norma Jean's first hit, "Let's Go All the Way," was recorded in RCA Studio B. A popular recording artist and television star of the 1960s, Norma Jean starred opposite Porter Wagoner on his syndicated TV show before passing the mantle to Dolly Parton in 1967.
A-Team upright bass player Bob Moore played on hundreds of hits at RCA’s Studio B, including Floyd Cramer’s “Last Date,” the Browns’ “The Three Bells,” and Elvis Presley’s “Are You Lonesome Tonight.” For “Crying” by Roy Orbison, Moore also served as musical director.
Nashville’s session musicians could create magic with or without a singer present. Expert players like Chet Atkins, Floyd Cramer, and Boots Randolph scored hits in the Nashville Sound era in which their instruments were the lead voice.
“You could say that my career actually started here at RCA Studio B because it’s where we recorded the song that started it all,” said Donna Fargo on a visit to the studio last year. That song was “The Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A.,” which went #1 country and #11 pop in 1972.
The Everly Brothers recorded “All I Have to Do Is Dream” at RCA Studio B on March 6, 1958. It was #1 for three weeks on the "Billboard" country sales chart, #1 for five weeks on the "Billboard" Top 100, and #1 for seven weeks on the U.K.’s "New Musical Express" chart.
On April 18, 1963, at RCA Studio B, Bobby Bare recorded his first Top Ten country hit. It was Mel Tillis and Danny Dill’s “Detroit City,” a weary lament for the displaced. Bare won a Grammy for the record, and he was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2013.
Since the early 1960s, the Nashville Number System has been the musical shorthand by which many players and singers communicate during recording sessions in studios like RCA Studio B and in concert. Pictured here is a handwritten example.
“Coat of Many Colors” is one of Dolly Parton’s favorite songs not only because it recounts an incident from her life but also for its universal appeal. She recorded it, the title track of her eighth studio album, at Studio B in April 1971. Pictured: Dolly with Porter Wagoner.
Anita Kerr provided (pictured: lower right) backing vocals and arrangements for many Nashville Sound era recordings, including Jim Reeves’s big crossover hit “He’ll Have to Go.” “She was just right on every time. She had good arranging ideas,” Studio B engineer Bill Porter said.
Few films left '60s audiences more devastated than “Dr. Zhivago.” But for John Hartford it lit a creative fire—which led to him writing the classic song “Gentle on My Mind.” His original version was recorded at Studio B in 1967.
From 1958 to 1960, army service interrupted @ElvisPresley's career, but when he started recording again, RCA's top-selling singer came to Studio B for his first post-army sessions. The sessions produced major hits including "It's Now or Never" and "Are You Lonesome Tonight?"
