🎸 Happy Royal Birthday to our very own Leroy Hodges!
As the anchor of the Hi Rhythm Section, his bass laid the groove behind the Memphis soul classics — from Al Green’s “Love and Happiness” to Ann Peebles’ “I Can’t Stand the Rain.”

Beyond the Hi Records era, Leroy’s bass work drove Syl Johnson’s album Back in the Game (1994), recorded with the original Hi Rhythm band, and he brought his unmistakable-pocket groove to Melissa Etheridge’s MEmphis Rock and Soul (2016), recorded at Royal Studios.

Proud to call you one of ours, Leroy. Your lines continue to carry the heartbeat of our city. 🔥

You’ve shaped timeless records — like Adele’s “Hello,” Bruno Mars’ “Locked Out of Heaven” and Kanye’s iconic “Runaway”— and even brought your touch to Uptown Special with Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, recorded at Royal Studios, infusing Memphis soul into those records.

Thank you for the emotion you put into every beat.
