One of several recording studios in the Muscle Shoals area that sprang up during the 1970s. In 1973, David Johnson bought Quin Ivy's interest in Quinvy Recording Studio and changed the name to Broadway Sound Studio.
Among the acts recorded by outside producers were The Supremes, The Commodores, Swamp Dogg, among others, while Johnson's productions included Clarence Carter, Kenny Price, Percy Sledge and others.
Many studio musicians got their start in Muscle Shoals by playing first at Broadway.
The studio closed near the end of the 1980s when David Johnson assumed the duties of Executive Director of the Alabama Music Hall of Fame
