Alabama Music Hall of Fame Celebrating Life & Work of Oak Ridge Boys Member William Lee Golden
The Alabama Music Hall of Fame is honoring iconic singer William Lee Golden with a rare exhibition of his dynamic and powerful paintings. The museum will launch the display of the William Lee Golden Art Collection which is set to run from September 3-November 14, 2008. A 19-piece body of work will be showcased, providing a glimpse of the legendary artist’s vision of the world through the beauty of nature and vivid language of color. The exhibition will chronicle scenes and snapshots from his extraordinary travels and career, reflecting Golden’s strong value and appreciation for our country’s history and natural environment. This exhibit will allow visitors and fans to explore, experience, and enjoy the expressive artwork of the Brewton native.
Among Golden’s featured paintings for the exhibit is Bush Garden. The piece was done in honor of former President George & First Lady Barbara Bush, depicting the breathtaking garden at their Kennebunkport, Maine estate. Mrs. Bush describes the artwork as a family joy and treasure.
Operating hours are 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. on Monday-Saturday and 1:00-5:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Hall of Fame Story
The Alabama Music Hall of Fame was a dream and goal of the Muscle Shoals Music Association, a Shoals area based professional organization of recording studio owners, producers, musicians, songwriters and other music professionals. In 1980, through their efforts, the State legislature, with leadership of State Senator Bobby Denton, created a state agency, the Alabama Music Hall of Fame Board, with a mandate to honor all of this state's great music achievers, and to build a facility in which to showcase these talented individuals and their accomplishments.
In 1987 the citizens of Alabama passed a state-wide referendum for the construction of Phase One of the project, a 12,500 square foot exhibit hall - The Alabama Music Hall of Fame. Grand opening ceremonies were held July 26, 1990 with over 35,000 music lovers on hand to celebrate and enjoy the music provided by many of Alabama's finest talents. Every year, since the opening, we have had thousands of tourists, school children, historians and general music fan tour our facility to see, hear and learn of the many contributions made to music by Alabamians.
The accomplishments of these people are not limited to any single style of music, nor are they restricted to just the realm of performance. Their achievements span the complete spectrum from sophisticated classical composition to humble gospel songs sun without accompaniment. From performance to song writing, and from management to publishing, Alabamians have contributed in many ways to make the industry of music what it is today.
At the Alabama Music Hall of Fame we honor these Music Achievers in three ways:
