"Simple Man" is absolutely one of the greatest songs ever recorded by any band, period. I often refer to it as one of the few "perfect" songs ever written and I stand by that statement.
When my daughter was young she told me she’d never listen to Skynyrd. I caught her one day, crying. She said Simply Man made her think of me and the things I always told her. To this day I tear up when I hear it. I love my kid.
This song was written after the Van Zant family lost their mother. They set around at that time and began to share the sayings and wisdom that their mother passed on over the years and it eventually turned into what you are hearing. A case of respite CREATING art.
@@phnxbyrdphnxbyrd6403 I said mother when I meant grandmother. My mistake bro. Shortly after Ronnie Van Zant's grandmother and Gary Rossington's mother died, they got together in Van Zant's apartment and started telling stories about them. Rossington came up with a chord progression, and Van Zant wrote the lyrics based on advice the women had given them over the years. They wrote it in about an hour. "We just put down in a song what our mama or grandma had said to us," Rossington told Paul Ingles. "They really wrote it, we just played it."
@@SPARTANSIX-1 Not to rain on your parade but...Once you get to know about Gary you know he is constantly getting stories mixed up or just flat out wrong. Ronnie actually wrote that song in the shower. These are Ronnie's words...I’ve had a lot of ’em come to me in the shower,” he said, going on to add, “I wrote the song ‘Simple Man’ in the shower.“ Gary likes to give himself credit on a lot of things, but this song is about a son and mother relationship nothing more or less. Of course Gary had a part in it, but the lyrics were already down before Ronnie even approached him with it.
@@SPARTANSIX-1 Not a big deal. I got to know the families and a lot of things have been thrown around by a couple band members that are mis- recollections or flat out lies. It's like they say... never get to know your heroes.
They were my first concert with many awesome people playing. You need to listen to Creedence Clearwater Revival that is an awesome band later called The blue ridge mountain rangers
I went to school with Ronnie Van Zants daughter Tammy for a short time when she lived in Virginia. She was a very sweet and humble person. I felt so bad that she lost her Dad at such a young age. I hope her family has looked out for her. Ronnie's 2nd wife got his fortune. A very sad story of the loss of such a great talent.
Another song similar to "Simple Man" is "Tuesdays Gone". Ronnie Van Zant was lead until his brother Johnny took over after their plane crash. They also have another brother Donny that played in the band called 38 Special, which also is great listening music.
Thank you for reacting to Lynyrd Skynyrd. I highly recommend "Call Me The Breeze" "Gimme Three Steps" "That Smell" & "Sweet Home Alabama" just to name a few. Peace Out 😊✌
“Tuesday’s Gone” is another great song by this iconic band. Love your reaction. Please check out some Bob Seger. If you like great lyrics, he’s your guy. 🌺✌️
Great reaction! I love your accent. Ronnie Van Zant was the lead singer. He died very prematurely with other members of the band in a plane crash. Lynyrd Skynyrd still went on the road, later, with his brother, Johnny, singing lead. The other brother, Donnie Van Zant, is the lead singer of a band called 38 special. Check them out!
This is my favourite Skynyrd song, but for a change of pace Gimme Three Steps is super fun. My mother's boyfriend was in a Skynyrd cover band and always would flip his long blond hair when a specific lyric came up.
Hello my friend I was born in Jax, Florida and have lived here my whole life. It is one of the places where southern rock started. Thank you for reacting to one of our great Southern Rock bands. Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot, Johnny VanZant band. Please play And react to some of the before mentioned bands we here in North Florida we will be tuning in each time we see you enjoying this classic rock. Take care my friend and I look forward to watching your channel for a long time coming
Got out of the Navy in 1979.. got a asst Mgr position at bar/restaurant that were in malls called Chelsea Street Pub. Lovely young lady worked there and she was dating the drummer from Molly Hatchet- Bruce ( Not sure of the spelling) Crum/ Crumb. Met him and spoke briefly, very nice guy, heck of a drummer. Gina invited us to go to Houston where she was meeting up with Bruce, they were back up to The Outlaws. Backstage the lead singer had a particular whiskey he drank and someone had drank his. He was known for fighting and he looked at me and I just said ,I ain't the one, that's open for interpretation but like in the Skynyrd song ,comes to fix and I'm prepared to fight, nothing happened . Concert was great, both bands, the band was getting on the bus and rolling to the next show. They gave us rooms that they weren't going to use anyway so we didn't have to drive back to San Antonio that night. The couple I drove up with and I shared a room and the lady liked me, and I liked her back, but that's rock n roll and another story....
I was also born and raised in Jax. I remember my friends and I listening to Skynyrd and .38 Special while riding in someone's car going who knows where. Those were the days!
@@kevin-jg5nq hey I’m probably much younger being born in 86’, but my daddy blasted Classic Rock from since I was born until he died in 2016. I have the most fond memories of riding around with my father in his father’s old beat up pick up and listening to classic rock. Nothing better than that!
This song has a very powerful and real message for both men and women! Keep it simple. If you can't take it with you when your life is over it won't matter. Keep your soul intact! I would like to see you react to their song "Gimme Three Steps"! No real message but a hell of a funny story!
Ronnie Van Zant was the lead singer on all of Skynyrd's songs up until the plane crash. He was one of the members killed in the crash. When the surviving members reunited later on, his brother Johnny took over as lead singer.
You’re a good mom. If we put a lot of good moms together, and they have families...and if we put them all together and we have neighborhoods, and put them all together and we have cities. That’s how it goes, we’d all be better off with moms in charge.
One of my first concerts in Houston, Tx. I had a poster on my wall. Wish I still had it. I dedicated this song to my son in 1976 when he was born. Ronnie wrote songs of true life experiences. To me that made him exceptional. Great voice too. Read their biography. Totally amazing.
This song puts a spotlight on Ronnie VanZant's voice. His voice along with the guitar work of Gary Rossington and Allin Collins, I don't think will ever be reproduced. Gary is the only surviving member of the original band. The tragic history of this band and its members is a story in itself.
Ronnie VanZandt lead, Gary Rossington Guitar, Allen Collins Guitar, Leon Wilkerson Bass, Billy Powell Piano, Steve Gaines Guitar, Atticus Powell Drums. All are Passed away exception Artimus Powell, and Gary Rossington. Tragic Plane crash 1977. Great Band.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird - 7/2/1977 - Oakland Coliseum Stadium (Official) Check this out if you like Guitar And instrumental solos. This one still gives me chills. Someone might have already suggested this but just in case not gotta check this out! Take care y’all stay safe!
Ronnie Vanzant..... died in a plane crash. Always listen to you atw through, you're my favorite reactor! And you seem like a good ol' country boi like myself, so check out their song "All I can do is write about it ", very deep and hits home for me
More Lynyrd Skynyrd "Sweet Home Alabama", Gimme 3 Steps" or "Saturday Night Special". And if you like Lynyrd Skynyrd, be sure to check out the Allman Brothers.
Another message in a song by them is "That Smell". Ronnie wrote it for a band member. Poignant. Ronnie Van Zant lead singer here. Killed in a plane crash in 1978, I believe.
Been reading the comments and every song named is an absolute Rock classic . Play Free Bird and Working For MCA . Free Bird is a southern rock anthem . Working For MCA has a great guitar opening .
Ronnie van Zandt. Lead vocalist/founding member Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist and vocalist Steve Gaines, backing vocalist Cassie Gaines (Steve's older sister), assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, Captain Walter McCreary and First Officer William John Gray all died as a result of the crash while twenty others survived
My dad was a musician and played that song to and for me when I was a young boy. Born 1971 I'm vouching for alot of great music and lyrics that go one way and get lost to too many...love ya man so glad you react to everything. You definitely finished your food on this one.
All Kooper was their first manager and producer. He tells the story that Skynyrd was playing at a bar in Tallahassee following a punk band. The dance floor had a stage at each hand. The punk band finished at one end and without any intro Skynyrd started up on the other end with this song. Kooper said the entire floor stood still and was stone quiet until they were done.
Hey Adog, I love a song that tells a story and if that story is packed with true wisdom in a simple package that sticks to your ribs, it doesn't come any better, Your reaction is right on the money! More wisdom in one song than I ever heard in higher education. "All that you need is in your soul", "be something you love and understand". In other words be true to yourself don't just follow what you see around you. Love it!
That voice is the great and never forgotten Ronnie VanZant. RIP ...Listen to Mr. Banker or One More Time, Gimme Back My Bullets, or Cry for The Bad Man. i can't pick one favorite. They're all great. Best Southern band ever hands down! Peace out Adogg \m/
Nice to see you discovered a classic. Been loving Skynard ❤ since I was 14, now 56!! Love great meaning to songs. But, you have to stop pausing and commenting till the end. Get into it!! Your awesome!!❤
When my two sons were younger and it was just me and them I would play skynyrd cassette tapes yea I’m a 70s teenager I would tell them to listen to the words of this song and apply it through their lives
@@professionalvampire1 if you can find it, there's a TH-cam video where Shinedown's lead singer is acapella ata party and the whole room is silent. gave me goosebumps
Tuesdays gone, The Ballad of Curtis Lowe, Sweet Home Alabama, Freebird, Gimme three Steps, I know a little, T for Texas, Needle and the Spoon. Just too many to mention.
You gotta think of this too Rambro, these songs are coming up on 50 years old here in the next few years and have definitely stood the test of time. Another thing about the singer Ronnie Van Zandt…he liked to perform live barefooted. He said he liked the warmth of the stage from the lighting.
Woent watch ,the new movie they have out ,with actors, could never give the band s true story, love little brother Johnny, no comparison, Ronnie going to kick his ass🎉😮❤
Listened to this a couple of days ago... love it! Excellent song, one of my favorite bands.💓💯🎶 I thought you would like it... Ronnie Van Zant was the lead singer from 1964-1977(he passed away). His brother Johnny Van Zant became the lead singer since 1987.😎❤️ *Corrected my typos after I was told about them.
@@patriciacleary9146 haha, ok, Miss Clary.....pet peeve of mine is to disrespect people by not spelling their names right.....and u spelled it wrong twice !!!.......i couldn't help myself....LOL
I highly recommend that you watch the Lynyrd Skynyrd documentary. I don't even like documentaries that much but theirs was absolutely fascinating, entertaining, and just plain amazing✌🤘😍
Take yo time don't live too fast that's why these older songs was so good that put their hearts in it &:took that time bro. So much more feeling in these oldies but timeless ones🧡💯
Ronnie Van Zandt is the lead singer. His brothers Donnie and Johnny have a side band called Van Zandt. Get Right with the Man is absolutely worth listening to.
When i was pregnant with my second son i played this on my headphone and put them to my stomach. My now grown son plays this for me on his guitar when I got visit him. ❤❤❤
Great Southern Rock band. I can tell by your accent that you are from the south. I sent this to my 29 yr old recently and to my surprise it was already his favorite song. I think most son's can relate and connect to this powerful message.
Skynyrd was 3 🔥 guitar players, bass, drums, keyboards and singer Ronnie Van Zant who ruled the band with an iron fist and an iron will be succeed at the highest level
I'm new to your channel, so I'm not sure if you've been told about the plane crash in 1977 that killed Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines, along with backup singer Cassie Gaines (Steve's older sister), assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, pilot Walter McCreary, and co-pilot John Gray. I was so lucky to have seen them in Denver just a few months prior to the crash. Ronnie Van Zant was the lead singer at that time. They disbanded after the crash, but many of the remaining members reunited in 1987 and Ronnie's younger brother Johnny became the lead singer.
My stars. This takes me back to my high school days. Lynyrd Skynyrd was always playing on the 8-track. LOL Drank a many a "pony packs" of Miller beers riding the streets of my home town. Killed me when they had that plane crash!
I watched all the video. Ronnie van Zant was the singer. This group has many many good song's. Tuesday's gone, Give me 3 steps, Mr Banker, I need you, Needle and a spoon & Four walls of Raiford just to name a few. Hope u dive deeper into this group . I call them the King's of Southern Rock.
I have a 25 yr old son. He's an only child and this is his ring tone when he calls me. He said it reminds him of his dad. He is his daddy. He has the same out look on life that his dad does. Don't stress the small stuff, it will pass. My husband lives by 1 thing. If what ever it is that is troubling you lasts more then 8 days then it's time to stress it. If it has passed by day 8 you know it was just a test of faith and will.. and you passed the test. It's gone an you are still standing strong. My son is the same way
Skynyrd was the first live concert I attended of ( in 1974) and it was amazing. They played Free Bird as an encore and stretched the guitar 'solo' to a 45 minute masterpiece. When the concert was over, you could hardly see the other side of the arena for the 'fog' hanging in the air

This is my favorite song of Lynyrd Skynyrd
I love this band and all of the original songs
Ronnie Van Zant is the orginal singer of Lynard Skynyrd. He has long passed away including almost the whole band. They died in a plane crash in 1977.
Brother I love skynard and I'll tell you another band you'll love the eagles the song is I can't tell you why
"Simple Man" is absolutely one of the greatest songs ever recorded by any band, period. I often refer to it as one of the few "perfect" songs ever written and I stand by that statement.

Completely wrong. Mama Vanzant passed in 2000. I was in Jacksonville at the time.
@@phnxbyrdphnxbyrd6403 I said mother when I meant grandmother. My mistake bro.
Shortly after Ronnie Van Zant's grandmother and Gary Rossington's mother died, they got together in Van Zant's apartment and started telling stories about them.

We've been listening to this song for 48 year's sweetie. 😂 I was 7 years old when it was released. Enjoy
I was 14 and sobbed for days when they crashed.
@@jonpates7209 sad
They were my first concert with many awesome people playing. You need to listen to Creedence Clearwater Revival that is an awesome band later called The blue ridge mountain rangers
I'm 70. My son is 50. This song always brings tears to my eyes - even after all this time.
"The Ballad of Curtis Loew" is awesome.
Very good suggestion. My favorite by this band.
Very underrated song
Love that song!

she is a talent just like dad

Thank you for reacting to Lynyrd Skynyrd.
I highly recommend
"Call Me The Breeze"
"Gimme Three Steps"
"That Smell" &
"Sweet Home Alabama"
just to name a few.
Peace Out 😊✌
Gimme Three Steps is my very favorite
“Tuesday’s Gone” is another great song by this iconic band. Love your reaction. Please check out some Bob Seger. If you like great lyrics, he’s your guy. 🌺✌️

No D in their last name.
I love seeing Skynyrd appreciated!!
I agree. It somehow gives me hope for the future.
Somebody say Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd I'm down 🤘😎
“ Tuesday’s Gone”,. “The Ballad of Curtis Loew”. “Call Me The Breeze”. “Gimme Three Steps”. “That Smell”. And 100 more.
This is one of my favorite songs by Lynyrd Skynyrd. 🤘🤘 thx for this one Adogg. 👊👊
Mine too.
This song come about from a conversation the lead singer Ronnie had with his grandmother
This song is full of wisdom! That you can take to the bank!
This is my favourite Skynyrd song, but for a change of pace Gimme Three Steps is super fun. My mother's boyfriend was in a Skynyrd cover band and always would flip his long blond hair when a specific lyric came up.

Please do Mississippi Kid by Skynyrd or The Ballad Of Curtis Loew!!! My 2 faves by Skynyrd.
Oh...and the lead singer is Ronnie Van Zant. RIP.
The Needle and The Spoon is also a great song with a great message. Would love to see you react to it.
Yea definitely a song of the times... there's so many foreshadowing songs they wrote
Hi ya Adogg!! You know I’m here to the end!!
My son played this at his wedding for the Mom / Son dance!❤️❤️❤️❤️
And now I’m crying (happy tears)🥲😁😁😁
thanks donna you always showing support im so glad to have you here
I have always loved this song, and you are correct it's message is outstanding!
Ronnie Van Zant was the lead singer on all of Skynyrd's songs up until the plane crash. He was one of the members killed in the crash. When the surviving members reunited later on, his brother Johnny took over as lead singer.
I send this song to my 30 year old son several times a year. ❤✌
Me too! It truly is all I want for him. Be a Simple Man.
You’re a good mom. If we put a lot of good moms together, and they have families...and if we put them all together and we have neighborhoods, and put them all together and we have cities. That’s how it goes, we’d all be better off with moms in charge.

Jacksonville 's Finest. Lived there many years and was married in Jax. RIP to all Skynard Souls. 😇
You might want to try the other song called “Sweet Home Alabama.”
Or “Gimme Three Steps.” It’s a classic, too.
Yessssss!!!
another great song from them is the The Ballad of Curtis Loew. You'll love it!
Ronnie VanZandt lead, Gary Rossington Guitar, Allen Collins Guitar, Leon Wilkerson Bass, Billy Powell Piano, Steve Gaines Guitar, Atticus Powell Drums. All are Passed away exception Artimus Powell, and Gary Rossington. Tragic Plane crash 1977. Great Band.
The Ballad of Curtis Loew should be your next Skynyrd song!!!!
No such thing as a bad Lynyrd Skynyrd song. These fellas had so much talent. 1977-10-20....the Day the Music Died!!!
Welcome aboard brother been listening to them for over 40 years from Australia 🇦🇺
The lead on Skinner died in a plane crash. But he was amazing! Try the band Shinedown version too.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird - 7/2/1977 - Oakland Coliseum Stadium (Official) Check this out if you like Guitar And instrumental solos. This one still gives me chills. Someone might have already suggested this but just in case not gotta check this out! Take care y’all stay safe!
Ronnie Vanzant..... died in a plane crash.
Always listen to you atw through, you're my favorite reactor!
And you seem like a good ol' country boi like myself, so check out their song
"All I can do is write about it ", very deep and hits home for me
More Lynyrd Skynyrd "Sweet Home Alabama", Gimme 3 Steps" or "Saturday Night Special". And if you like Lynyrd Skynyrd, be sure to check out the Allman Brothers.
Sweet Home Alabama and Tuesday's Gone With the Wind, the list goes on and on. You are awesome!
Another message in a song by them is "That Smell". Ronnie wrote it for a band member. Poignant.
Ronnie Van Zant lead singer here. Killed in a plane crash in 1978, I believe.
1977-10-20 is the date of the crash. Smoked a big ole fatty and wish their Souls well when I heard the news. Lordy how I miss them.
Been reading the comments and every song named is an absolute Rock classic . Play Free Bird and Working For MCA . Free Bird is a southern rock anthem . Working For MCA has a great guitar opening .
Shinedown did an acoustic cover of this song that is epic. I love this song by Skynyrd. I also love Shinedown’s version. Both are amazing.
Not even cose to the original. This one hit deep in the soul
"Call Me The Breeze " is an excellent Lynyrd Skynyrd song. If you like hearing the instruments, this is a great song for that. 💯
I love that song !
Written by the late, great J.J. Cale. He wrote many great songs covered by, among others, Eric Clapton
Ronnie van Zandt.
Lead vocalist/founding member Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist and vocalist Steve Gaines, backing vocalist Cassie Gaines (Steve's older sister), assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, Captain Walter McCreary and First Officer William John Gray all died as a result of the crash while twenty others survived
Words to live by... troubles will come and they will pass... miss my dad. We love this song
My dad was a musician and played that song to and for me when I was a young boy. Born 1971 I'm vouching for alot of great music and lyrics that go one way and get lost to too many...love ya man so glad you react to everything. You definitely finished your food on this one.
Best reaction quote ever about a guitar: "It melts in your ear."
They're rock Gods from Alabama. Roll tide!!!
Lead singer... "Ronnie Van Zant."
Donnie and Johnny Van Zant did the album I spoke of before, "Get Right With The Man."
All Kooper was their first manager and producer. He tells the story that Skynyrd was playing at a bar in Tallahassee following a punk band. The dance floor had a stage at each hand. The punk band finished at one end and without any intro Skynyrd started up on the other end with this song. Kooper said the entire floor stood still and was stone quiet until they were done.
Hey Adog, I love a song that tells a story and if that story is packed with true wisdom in a simple package that sticks to your ribs, it doesn't come any better, Your reaction is right on the money! More wisdom in one song than I ever heard in higher education. "All that you need is in your soul", "be something you love and understand". In other words be true to yourself don't just follow what you see around you. Love it!
His younger brother took his place after his death and a 3rd brother founded and fronted the band .38 Special!
That Smell and Tuesday’s Gone bith just beautiful
"Gimme three steps" is a fun song by them
That voice is the great and never forgotten Ronnie VanZant. RIP ...Listen to Mr. Banker or One More Time, Gimme Back My Bullets, or Cry for The Bad Man. i can't pick one favorite. They're all great. Best Southern band ever hands down! Peace out Adogg \m/
I think you would really like "Give Me Three Steps".:)
Nice to see you discovered a classic.
Been loving Skynard ❤ since I was 14, now 56!! Love great meaning to songs. But, you have to stop pausing and commenting till the end. Get into it!!
Your awesome!!❤
Check out the version of Simple Man done by a band called Shinedown.
would you please react to Shinedown's cover of Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynrd? The lead singer for Shinedown has an incredible voice
When my two sons were younger and it was just me and them I would play skynyrd cassette tapes yea I’m a 70s teenager I would tell them to listen to the words of this song and apply it through their lives
One of my favorites! Check out the cover to this song by Shinedown you won’t be disappointed.
Came here to say this. I love the Skynyrd version, but the acoustic Shinedown cover is really special!
@@professionalvampire1 if you can find it, there's a TH-cam video where Shinedown's lead singer is acapella ata party and the whole room is silent. gave me goosebumps

@@cindyshawver9986 I don't think it's that serious. It's a comment not.a formal paper. Guess we can't all be perfect like you. Seriously?!
@@patriciacleary9146 haha, ok, Miss Clary.....pet peeve of mine is to disrespect people by not spelling their names right.....and u spelled it wrong twice !!!.......i couldn't help myself....LOL
@@cindyshawver9986 Difference being I didn't do it out of disrespect.
Growing up, Skynard & Rush Bonfire Party's were an absolute in my part of Kalamazoo, Michigan growing up in the late '80's was a forever party
I saw them in concert with 38 Special and Hank Williams Jr. In Baltimore a few years ago. Was a pretty good concert.
I highly recommend that you watch the Lynyrd Skynyrd documentary. I don't even like documentaries that much but theirs was absolutely fascinating, entertaining, and just plain amazing✌🤘😍
That ballad of Curtis Lowe.. that one is one of my favorites too
Take yo time don't live too fast that's why these older songs was so good that put their hearts in it &:took that time bro. So much more feeling in these oldies but timeless ones🧡💯
Ronnie Van Zandt is the lead singer. His brothers Donnie and Johnny have a side band called Van Zandt. Get Right with the Man is absolutely worth listening to.
Try "All I Can Do is Write About it". Same heart-felt soulfulness. You can't NOT like that song!
Ronnie Van Zant watch their documentary they passed tragically in a plane crash back in October of 1977 Rest In Peace
Everyone should live by the lessons of this song, but every soul is different.
When i was pregnant with my second son i played this on my headphone and put them to my stomach. My now grown son plays this for me on his guitar when I got visit him. ❤❤❤
The kids nowadays just don't know what great music they missed out on. I'm 66 and most of the music I grew up on was great!
I used to sing this song to my son as a baby. By the time he was three he was singing it word perfect back to me.
I’ve been to the spot the plane went down and it was so somber and peaceful. Everyone was so quiet and respectful. It was beautiful actually.
Do “Swamp Music”, “Gimme Three Steps”, “Call Me The Breeze”, “Mr. Saturday Night Special”, all are kick ass songs.
Great Southern Rock band. I can tell by your accent that you are from the south. I sent this to my 29 yr old recently and to my surprise it was already his favorite song. I think most son's can relate and connect to this powerful message.
Another CLASSIC and LEGENDARY Southern rock band. Please listen to the entire Gold & Platinum album. Their music defined American rock in the 70's.
Legendary 💖💖💖
Skynyrd was 3 🔥 guitar players, bass, drums, keyboards and singer Ronnie Van Zant who ruled the band with an iron fist and an iron will be succeed at the highest level
I'm new to your channel, so I'm not sure if you've been told about the plane crash in 1977 that killed Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines, along with backup singer Cassie Gaines (Steve's older sister), assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, pilot Walter McCreary, and co-pilot John Gray. I was so lucky to have seen them in Denver just a few months prior to the crash. Ronnie Van Zant was the lead singer at that time. They disbanded after the crash, but many of the remaining members reunited in 1987 and Ronnie's younger brother Johnny became the lead singer.
My stars. This takes me back to my high school days. Lynyrd Skynyrd was always playing on the 8-track. LOL Drank a many a "pony packs" of Miller beers riding the streets of my home town. Killed me when they had that plane crash!
A crowd favorite is another easy-going simple ballad titled Curtis Loew. Another good fun tune is Gimme Three Steps, which is said to be a true story!
This was the sound of south. Gritty blues vocals and a dirty guitar. Nothing fancy but it becomes so rich when it all comes together.
Sting is awesome artist he had the group the police his song Desert Rose 🌹 is awesome 👏
I'm an old lady now and I love all kinds of music but this Southern Rock is one of my favorites.
This is my favorite song of theirs next to That Smell which is amazing
I watched all the video. Ronnie van Zant was the singer. This group has many many good song's. Tuesday's gone, Give me 3 steps, Mr Banker, I need you, Needle and a spoon & Four walls of Raiford just to name a few. Hope u dive deeper into this group . I call them the King's of Southern Rock.
Check out Sweet Home Alabama and Gimme 3 Steps...great songs!
An amazing song that every guy should relate to and follow. Treat everyone with respect. That’s the message.
I have a 25 yr old son. He's an only child and this is his ring tone when he calls me. He said it reminds him of his dad. He is his daddy. He has the same out look on life that his dad does. Don't stress the small stuff, it will pass. My husband lives by 1 thing. If what ever it is that is troubling you lasts more then 8 days then it's time to stress it. If it has passed by day 8 you know it was just a test of faith and will.. and you passed the test. It's gone an you are still standing strong. My son is the same way
Skynyrd was the first live concert I attended of ( in 1974) and it was amazing. They played Free Bird as an encore and stretched the guitar 'solo' to a 45 minute masterpiece. When the concert was over, you could hardly see the other side of the arena for the 'fog' hanging in the air
This was my dad's song for me, he had it as my ringtone. I was fortunate to be able to see them play this song in concert. It was amazing.
