Greatest white blues singer to ever roam the face of the earth

[@sherrigayle5604]

Gregg lived behind me in Richmond Hill, Ga. He drove a special colored corvette a lot everywhere with also his bikes. We used to drive up his neighborhood and went to his door a couple times. His planter by the front door was a pair of his jeans shellacked. He sent me and my husband an 8x10 signed photo which I still have. This was over 20 years ago. Absolutely loved running into him around town. Nicest most polite soft spoken man you would ever meet… sweet memories!!

[@stevefisher1036]

We booked him for one of our Love Rides. When he sat at the keyboards and played, "I'm no Angel," I've never heard a more powerful beginning to a concert. His musicianship was amazing.

[@pattdunn9845]

Their music is a friendly reminder of my life lived. But I have always loved him and his lyrics. A darkness was always around him but he kept going with that sweet smile. He is so missed today. And when any of his songs come on the radio I crank the volumn up and the world slips away.

[@mprest10]

What a pair of geniuses. We were blessed to have them making music.

[@Firedog-ny3cq]

I remember back when I was barely in my 20's, around 1974, lying on my king-size waterbed, stoned to the gills on acid, my headphones clamped to my head, listening to the 4 or 5 Allman Brothers' Band albums I had, one after the other. One of the all-time best concerts I ever had the privilege of hearing in my life.

Man, I don't believe in heaven or hell, but for this dude, I do wish there were heaven so that he could join his big brother after so many years. I believe he missed Duane so much, so long.

[@pokey5736]

If it wasn't for Duane, Gregg would've been a dental surgeon. Thank you Duane, smart man !

[@bonesc7201]

God Bless The Allman Brothers...

[@sandymuddy5766]

I absolutely loved Gregg Allman ‼️ no one like him, and never Will be again❣️

[@superfly19751]

He was a good ol’ southern boy who just happened to be very talented.

[@williamtaylor5193]

As soulful as music gets. Anthems of my youth. Where does the time go?

[@jonathanwebb3024]

My wife died last year. Gregg was her favorite. God I miss them both.

[@lelandkinsella7380]

There'll never be another like him! RIP

[@jamescantrell1916]

The guy was absolutely as real as a performer can be. When you do something about him you hear his life running through the veins of this instrument and in the lyrics of his songs. He wrote songs in such a way that almost everyone can relate to the changes, the pain, the surprises, the desperation of just what life can hand Us. Having work to show circuit on the road for over 20 years myself I can relate to the midnight Rider and so many other songs. Rip Gregg I wish I had gotten to meet you hopefully we will meet on the other side

[@kerriannesmith5901]

Amazing musician...so glad I had the privilege of seeing him live...rip Mr Allman

[@timothyblackmore3469]

Greg Allman.... I appreciate you brother... Rest in peace you'll be back soon.

[@audreycaruso8111]

Such a sweet man, so candid and very down to earth..RIP Greg...

[@julenepegher6999]

Aww Gregg, Any age, Any stage, anywhere, anytime, you will always be beautiful to me. You and your Brothers caught my heart in the early 70’s, and still have it. Peace be with you!

[@TN-Vols-Fan]

I truly miss The Allman Brothers Band. I love Gov't Mule and The Tedeshi (sp?)Trucks Band but man, how I miss hearing Gregg's voice. Forever a fan.
