My Take
Seeing Jimmy Hughes's name genuinely stirs me. With "Steal Away" in the mid-1960s he helped lay the foundation of what became Muscle Shoals, that hallowed ground of American soul, back when it was just a small Alabama studio finding its voice. He wasn't a crowned king of the charts; he was one of the people who tilled the soil so others could harvest. He passed in 2026, but a voice on record outlives its singer, and his is woven into the early DNA of a whole musical region. I reserve my deepest respect for pioneers like him, the ones history quietly stands on.
