The Alabama Music Hall of Fame, first conceived by the Muscle Shoals Music Association in the early 1980s,[2] was created by the Alabama Music Hall of Fame Board, which then oversaw construction of a 12,500 sq ft (1,160 m2) facility after a statewide referendum in 1987.[3] It is located in the town of Tuscumbia, Alabama.
Purpose
The Alabama Music Hall of Fame serves to showcase Alabamians who have had a significant impact on the music industry. From musicians to songwriters, management, and publishing, The Alabama Music Hall of Fame provides several ways of honoring its "achievers," including informative exhibitions, a bronze star on their Walk of Fame, and the achievers' inclusion in the Hall of Fame roster.[4]
