Into the following three decades, Electric Lady was used to record albums by many popular artists.
Stevie Wonder used the studio extensively in the 1970s, when it became what he described as "the self-contained universe" for his work, wanting to depart from the "baby love" sound of his 1960s Motown recordings and "get as weird as possible".
Among his recordings there were the 1972 albums Music of My Mind and Talking Book.
As Liesl Schillinger writes in a Wall Street Journal profile on the studio, "from its inception, [Hendrix']s mother ship served as a rock, funk, disco and soul Olympus where gold and platinum hits were forged", including those by Wonder, Led Zeppelin, Lou Reed, the Rolling Stones, and Blondie.
In 1971, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, then with the New York rock band Wicked Lester, recorded demos at the studio.
A few years later, after forming the band Kiss, they used the studio again to recorded the band's 1975 album Dressed to Kill.

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."
