Tommy Cogbill, a native of Johnson Grove, Tennessee, Cogbill took to the guitar at a young age and eventually made his way toward the electric bass. In the mid 1960’s, he began picking up sessions in Memphis with a group including Gene Christman on drums, Chips Moman and Reggie Young on guitar, and Bobby Emmons on keys. Of ten hired by Jerry Wexler for artists on Atlantic records, the group traveled between the hubs of soul music - Muscle Shoals, Memphis, Nashville, and New York. While he frequently recorded at American Sound Studios (owned by Chips Moman), he’s one of the few bass players from that era who regularly bounced around to different cities and studios. By the late 1960’s, he had recorded with artists including Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield, and Elvis Presley, among others.

Cogbill soon began stretching his muscles as a producer, working with Neil Diamond (producing the song ''Sweet Caroline''), The Box Tops, and Arthur Alexander. In addition to producing, he continued his career as a bass player throughout the 1970s and recorded with country artists and singer songwriters including Kris Kristofferson, J.J. Cale, Bob Seger, Jimmy Buffett, and Townes Van Zandt. Tommy Cogbill passed away in 1982 at the age of 50 due to a stroke.
