Alabama is a country music band from Fort Payne, Alabama that was started in 1969 but did not get a recording contract until 1977. Alabama began by singing for tips around Myrtle Beach before going on to sell millions of records. They were among the first successful country groups since the mid-1970s, thanks to their blend of contemporary and traditional country and southern rock. On July 4-93 they opened a $7-million, 2,200-seat theater, located in Barefoot Landing-Myrtle Beach South Carolina. The members of Alabama are: - Randy Owen (vocals and rhythm guitar) - Teddy Gentry, (vocals and bass guitar) - Jeff Cook (lead guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, fiddle, banjo, and mandolin) - Mark Herndon (drums and percussion) Along with the Oak Ridge Boys and the Statler Brothers, Alabama is recognized as having paved the way for today's top country groups, including Diamond Rio, Lonestar and Rascal Flatts.

Hollywood Lyrics

Alabama

Words and music by gary stewart and wayne carson
Atlanta, georgia made her the ctoon queen.
L.a. bound she had visions of the silver screen.
But hollywood aint nothin but glamor and lights to a blue-eyed blonde with
Stars in her eyes.
Her days are long. lord, her nights are longer yet.
Tryin to find a part that will make her the queen of sex.
Shes realizin what its all about from too many nights upon the casting
Couch.
Chorus
Hollywood: parties and thrills.
The mansion in her mind is somewhere is beverly hills.
Shes been discovered too many times standing on the corner of hollywood and
Vince.
She makes her entrance now a days through the swingin doors.
She found her stage on a hardwood barroom floor.
But its not the bottom, just part of a long, hard fall.
Her biggest fans the man. tonight shell give her all.
The dream is dyin of her name on the marquee.
The folks back home wonder what happened ti their queen.
The mornin papers told it in black and white, calling it another hollywood
Suicide.
Chorus
