Sledge is from Leighton. The Blind Boys of Alabama were formed in Talladega. Levert was born in Bessemer. Davis is a Texan who recorded his first hits in Muscle Shoals. Johnson is an Enterprise native who grew up near Montgomery. The Atlanta Ryhthm Section was formed by Dothan native Buddy Buie. McAnally is from Red Bay and tours with Jimmy Buffett.
