Electric Lady Studios opened in New York City 50 years ago this week, on August 26, 1970.

Jimi Hendrix commissioned the studios in 1968 and recorded there for about ten weeks before his death that year. The studios have been used by many incredible artists over the years including Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, U2, Erykah Badu, The White Stripes, Lana Del Rey and Patti Smith.
