For more than 30 years, members of The Atlanta Rhythm Section (ARS) have entertained audiences all over the world with their hits. The members of ARS originally came together as a session band at Studio One, an Atlanta area studio recording artists like Al Kooper, Dickey Betts, and .38 Special. The band put out 15 albums and were compared with contemporaries Lynyrd Skynyrd as the successors to the Allman Brothers – carrying the mantle of “Southern Rock” in the late 70s. But performing songs that were more musically diverse and having hits that had a softer, pop flavor, they had a sound all their own. Influenced by music coming out of England and sharing the musical stylings of groups likes The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac, the members of ARS were accomplished musicians who constantly tried to evolve, like Steely Dan or Little Feat. With multiple certified Gold and Platinum albums to their credit, the band had top hits, “So Into You,” “Imaginary Lover,” “Doraville,” “I’m Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight,” “Champagne Jam,” Angel,” “Do It Or Die,” and “Spooky.“
