Under Producer Rick Hall, Fame had become the chief competitor of Memphis' famous Stax label, releasing recordings by Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and Percy Sledge. Tell Mama, co- written by Fame's single most consistent hit-maker, Clarence Carter, was one of the first tracks that Etta James recorded there. The record placed James firmly on the charts and became her signature. Although the James sessions were the final landmark soul sessions at Fame, the studio did become a haven for rock musicians, including the Rolling Stones, and Tell Mama was eventually covered by Janis Joplin.
