In 1975, John Lennon and David Bowie held an improvisatory session at the studio that produced Bowie's hit single "Fame", recorded for his "Young Americans" album. That same year, Patti Smith used the studio to record her debut album, "Horses". In 1978, Nile Rodgers took his band Chic to Electric Lady and recorded the hit single "Le Freak". "The enchantment held through the '80s and '90s, as AC/DC and the Clash showed up, then Billy Idol, the Cars, Weezer and Santana", according to Schillinger. "The house that Jimi built welcomed them all."
