History [edit]

Early on years (1964–1973) [edit]

In Jacksonville, Florida, during the summer of 1964, Ronnie Van Zant, Bob Burns, and Gary Rossington became acquainted while playing on rival baseball teams. The trio decided to jam together 1 afternoon after Burns was injured past a ball hitting by Van Zant. They gear up their equipment in the carport of Burns' parents' house and played the Rolling Stones' then-electric current hit "Time Is on My Side". Liking what they heard, they immediately decided to form a band. They soon approached guitarist Allen Collins to bring together the band, though Collins initially fled on his bicycle and hid in a tree at the sight of Van Zant pulling into his driveway. Collins was soon convinced that Van Zant meant him no harm and he agreed to join the fledgling ring.^[eight] Bassist Larry Junstrom soon rounded out the lineup and the ring settled on the name My Backyard, later changed to The Noble Five^[nine] before becoming The I Percent by 1968.^[ix]

Still known as The One Percent in 1969, Van Zant sought a new proper noun afterward growing tired of taunts from audiences that the ring had "ane% talent". At Burns' suggestion,^[8] the group settled on Leonard Skinnerd, which was in part a reference to a character named "Leonard Skinner" in Allan Sherman's novelty song "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh"^[10] and in function a mocking tribute to P.E. teacher Leonard Skinner at Robert E. Lee High School.^[11] Skinner was notorious for strictly enforcing the school's policy against boys having long hair.^[12] Rossington dropped out of school, tired of existence hassled most his hair.^[13] The more distinctive spelling "Lynyrd Skynyrd" was being used at least every bit early as 1970. Despite their high school acrimony, the band developed a friendlier relationship with Skinner in later years, and invited him to introduce them at a concert in the Jacksonville Memorial Coliseum.^[14] Skinner also allowed the ring to use a photograph of his Leonard Skinner Realty sign for the inside of their third anthology.^[15]

By 1970, Lynyrd Skynyrd had become a tiptop band in Jacksonville, headlining at some local concerts, and opening for several national acts. Pat Armstrong, a Jacksonville native and partner in Macon, Georgia-based Hustlers Inc. with Phil Walden'south younger brother, Alan Walden, became the band's managers. Armstrong left Hustlers shortly thereafter to start his own agency. Walden stayed with the band until 1974, when management was turned over to Peter Rudge. The band connected to perform throughout the S in the early on 1970s, further developing their difficult-driving dejection rock sound and image, and experimenting with recording their audio in a studio. Skynyrd crafted this distinctively "southern" audio through a creative blend of land, blues, and a slight British rock influence.^[16]

During this time, the band experienced some lineup changes for the beginning time. Junstrom left and was briefly replaced past Greg T. Walker on bass. At that fourth dimension, Rickey Medlocke joined as a second drummer and occasional second vocalist to help fortify Burns' audio on the drums. Medlocke grew upwards with the founding members of Lynyrd Skynyrd and his grandpa Shorty Medlocke was an influence in the writing of "The Ballad of Curtis Loew". Some versions of the ring's history country Burns briefly left the ring during this time,^[17] although other versions country that Burns played with the band continuously through 1974.^[18]

Pinnacle (1973–1977) [edit]

In 1972, the ring (and so comprising Van Zant, Collins, Rossington, Burns, Wilkeson, and Powell) was discovered by musician, songwriter, and producer Al Kooper of Blood, Sweat & Tears, who had attended 1 of their shows at Funocchio'southward in Atlanta. Kooper signed them to his Sounds of the South characterization, which was to exist distributed and supported past MCA Records, and produced their first album. Wilkeson, citing nervousness about fame, temporarily left the band during the early recording sessions, playing on merely ii tracks. He rejoined the band shortly afterward the album'southward release at Van Zant's invitation and is pictured on the album comprehend. To replace him, Strawberry Alert Clock guitarist Ed King joined the band and played bass on the album (the just part that Wilkeson had non already written beingness the solo section in "Simple Man"), and also contributed to the songwriting and did some guitar work on the album. After Wilkeson rejoined, King stayed in the band and switched solely to guitar, allowing the band to replicate its three-guitar studio mix in live performances. The band released their debut anthology (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd) on August 13, 1973.^[19] It sold over i million copies and was awarded a gold disc past the RIAA.^[xx] The album featured the hit vocal "Free Bird", which received national airplay,^[21] eventually reaching No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 nautical chart.^[22]

Lynyrd Skynyrd's fan base continued to abound rapidly throughout 1973, largely due to their opening slot on the Who'due south Quadrophenia tour in the U.s.a.. Their 1974 follow-up album, Second Helping, featuring Male monarch, Collins and Rossington all collaborating with Van Zant on the songwriting, cemented the ring's quantum. Its single "Sweet Dwelling Alabama", a response to Neil Young'south "Southern Man", reached #8 on the charts that August. (Young and Van Zant were not rivals, simply fans of each other's music and good friends; Young wrote the song "Powderfinger" for the band, simply they never recorded information technology.)^[23] During their pinnacle years, most of their records sold over one 1000000 copies, but "Sweet Home Alabama" was the only single to crack the top ten.^[21]

By 1975, personal issues began to take their toll on the ring. In January, drummer Burns left the band after suffering a mental breakdown during a European bout^[8] and was replaced by Kentucky native and former The states Marine Artimus Pyle. The ring's 3rd anthology, Nuthin' Fancy, was recorded in 17 days.^[24] Unhappy with the band'due south lack of preparation for the album's recording,^[eight] Kooper and the band parted ways by mutual agreement subsequently the tracking was completed, with Kooper mixing the album while the ring left for the tour that had precipitated the constricted recording schedule.^[25] Though the album fared well, it ultimately had lower sales than its predecessors. Midway through the Nuthin' Fancy bout, guitarist Ed King abruptly left the band after a falling out with Van Zant. Van Zant and Male monarch's guitar roadie were arrested the night prior and spent the night in jail. With his guitar roadie unavailable, King played that night's testify with erstwhile strings that broke and caused his operation to exist substandard, and Van Zant subsequently belittled him in front of his bandmates. King quit and returned home to Los Angeles, assertive Van Zant had been responsible for his guitar roadie being in jail in the first place.^[viii]

A crowd of 120,000 fans at Knebworth Business firm in 1976

Collins and Rossington both had serious auto accidents over Labor Day weekend in 1976, which slowed the recording of the follow-up album and forced the band to cancel some concert dates. Rossington's accident inspired the ominous Van Zant/Collins composition "That Olfactory property" – a cautionary tale about drug corruption that was conspicuously aimed towards him and at to the lowest degree one other band member. Rossington has admitted repeatedly that he was the "Prince Mannerly" of the song who crashed his car into an oak tree while boozer and stoned on Quaaludes. With the birth of his girl Melody in 1976, Van Zant was making a serious attempt to clean up his act and curtail the cycle of boozed-up brawling that was part of Skynyrd'southward reputation.^[8]

The Street Survivors anthology of 1977 turned out to be a showcase for guitarist/vocalist Steve Gaines, who had joined the ring just a twelvemonth earlier and was making his studio debut with them. Publicly and privately, Ronnie Van Zant marveled at the multiple talents of Skynyrd's newest fellow member, claiming that the ring would "all exist in his shadow ane day".^[26] Gaines' contributions included his co-lead vocal with Van Zant on the co-written "You Got That Right" and the rousing guitar boogie "I Know a Little", which he had written before he joined Skynyrd. Then confident was Skynyrd's leader of Gaines' abilities that the anthology (and some concerts) featured Gaines delivering his self-penned bluesy "Ain't No Skilful Life" – the only song in the pre-crash Skynyrd catalog to feature a lead vocalist other than Ronnie Van Zant. The album also included the hit singles "What'southward Your Proper name" and "That Smell". The band was poised for their biggest bout still, with shows always highlighted past the iconic rock anthem "Free Bird".^[27]

Plane crash (1977) [edit]

Following a operation at the Greenville Memorial Auditorium in Greenville, Due south Carolina, on October xx, 1977, the ring boarded a chartered Convair CV-240 leap for Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where they were scheduled to appear at LSU the following night. After running out of fuel, the pilots attempted an emergency landing before crashing in a heavily forested surface area v miles northeast of Gillsburg, Mississippi.^{[28] [29]} Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines, along with backup singer Cassie Gaines (Steve'due south older sister), banana route manager Dean Kilpatrick, airplane pilot Walter McCreary, and co-pilot William Gray were killed on impact. Other band members (Collins, Rossington, Wilkeson, Powell, Pyle, and Hawkins), tour manager Ron Eckerman, and several road crew members suffered serious injuries.^[30]

The blow came just three days after the release of Street Survivors. Post-obit the crash and the ensuing press, Street Survivors became the band's second platinum anthology and reached No. 5 on the U.Due south. anthology nautical chart. The single "What'southward Your Name" reached No. 13 on the single charts in 1978. The original cover sleeve for Street Survivors had featured a photograph of the ring amidst flames, with Steve Gaines near obscured by fire. Out of respect for the deceased (and at the request of Teresa Gaines, Steve's widow), MCA Records withdrew the original cover and replaced it with the album's back photo, a similar image of the ring against a simple black background.^[31] However, the group would restore the original prototype for the 30th anniversary deluxe edition of the anthology.^[32]

Lynyrd Skynyrd disbanded later the tragedy, reuniting merely on 1 occasion to perform an instrumental version of "Costless Bird" at Charlie Daniels' Volunteer Jam V in January 1979. Collins, Rossington, Powell, and Pyle were joined by Daniels and members of his band. Leon Wilkeson, who was still undergoing concrete therapy for his badly cleaved left arm, was in attendance, forth with Judy Van Zant, Teresa Gaines, JoJo Billingsley, and Leslie Hawkins.^[33]

Hiatus (1977–1987) [edit]

Rossington, Collins, Wilkeson and Powell formed the Rossington Collins Band,^[34] which released two MCA albums, Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere in 1980 and This Is The Way in 1981. Deliberately avoiding comparisons with Ronnie Van Zant likewise as suggestions that this band was Lynyrd Skynyrd reborn, Rossington and Collins chose a adult female, Dale Krantz, as the lead vocalist. Still, every bit an acknowledgement of their past, the ring'southward concert encore would always be an instrumental version of "Free Bird". Rossington and Collins eventually had a falling out over the affections of Dale Krantz, whom Rossington married^[35] and with whom he formed The Rossington Band, which released two albums, Returned to the Scene of the Law-breaking in 1986 and Love Your Man in 1988 and also opened for the Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Tour in 1987–1988.^{[ citation needed ]}

The other old members of Lynyrd Skynyrd continued to make music during the hiatus era. Baton Powell played keyboards in a Christian rock band named Vision, touring with established Christian rocker Mylon LeFevre. During Vision concerts, Powell'south trademark keyboard talent was ofttimes spotlighted and he spoke near his conversion to Christianity later the near-fatal plane crash. Pyle formed the Artimus Pyle Band in 1982, which occasionally featured former Honkettes JoJo Billingsley and Leslie Hawkins^[36] and released one MCA anthology, titled A.P.B.

In 1980, Allen Collins's married woman Kathy died of a massive hemorrhage while miscarrying their third child. He formed the Allen Collins Band in 1983 from the remnants of the Rossington Collins Ring and released one MCA studio album, Here, There & Back. He was visibly suffering from Kathy'due south expiry; he excessively drank and consumed drugs. On January 29, 1986, Collins, then 33, crashed his Ford Thunderbird into a ditch near his home in Jacksonville, killing his girlfriend Debra Jean Watts and leaving himself permanently paralyzed from the chest down.^{[37] [38]}

Return (1987–1995) [edit]

In 1987, Lynyrd Skynyrd reunited for a full-scale tour with v major members of the pre-crash band: crash survivors Gary Rossington, Billy Powell, Leon Wilkeson and Artimus Pyle, along with guitarist Ed Rex, who had left the band 2 years before the crash. Ronnie Van Zant's younger blood brother, Johnny, took over as the new pb singer and primary songwriter. Due to founding member Allen Collins' paralysis from his 1986 motorcar blow, he was only able to participate as the musical director, choosing Randall Hall, his one-time bandmate in the Allen Collins Ring, as his stand-in. In return for fugitive prison following his guilty plea to DUI manslaughter Collins would be wheeled out onstage each dark to explain to the audience why he could no longer perform^[38] (commonly before the functioning of "That Smell", the lyrics of which had been partially directed at him).^{[ citation needed ]} Collins was stricken with pneumonia in 1989 and died on January 23, 1990, at age 37.^[38]

The reunited band was intended to be a 1-time tribute to the original lineup, captured on the double-live album Southern past the Grace of God: Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Tour 1987. That the band chose to continue after the 1987 tribute bout caused legal problems for the survivors, as Judy Van Zant Jenness and Teresa Gaines Rapp (widows of Ronnie and Steve, respectively) sued the others for violating an agreement fabricated shortly after the plane crash, stating that they would not "exploit" the Skynyrd name for profit. As part of the settlement, Jenness and Rapp collect well-nigh thirty% of the band'southward touring revenues (representing the shares their husbands would have earned had they lived), and hold a proviso requiring whatever band touring as Lynyrd Skynyrd to include Rossington and at least 2 of the other four surviving members from the pre-crash era, namely Wilkeson, Powell, King and Pyle.^[39] Following this rule, the ring would have been forced to retire in 2001, but they have still connected to tour for another ii decades.^{[ commendation needed ]}
