Remembering Willie Mitchell Today!

One year ago, we lost the legendary WIllie Mitchell (March 1, 1928 – January 5, 2010) was an American soul, R&B, rock and roll, pop and funk record producer and arranger, who ran Royal Recording in Memphis, Tennessee. He was best known for his Hi Records label of the 1970s, which released albums by a large stable of popular Memphis soul artists, including Mitchell himself, Al Green, Syl Johnson and Ann Peebles.
Willie knew Elvis. In Fact, Elvis hired him to perform at some of his new year's eve parties.Two summers ago, I had the unique opportunity to have a private tour of Royal Studio with Willie's sons, Archie and Boo. Willie was in the hospital and I never had the chance to meet him. But here are some of the photos from my visit.

A special Thank You to the Mitchell family for their hospitality. We lost a Memphis legend!
