My favorite song by Lynyrd Skynyrd is Simple Man followed by in no particular order Free Bird, Tuesday’s Gone, Call Me The Breeze and The Ballad of Curtis Lowe. I was lucky enough to see them three times before the plane crash with the first being at The Tennessee State Fair in 1974 in Nashville while I was stationed at Ff. Campbell, Kentucky. Skynyrd played first then ZZTop and it was a rockin good time and in my humble opinion Lynyrd Skynyrd stole the show.

Forby Leonard Skinner (January 11, 1933 - September 20, 2010) was an American high school gym teacher, basketball coach, and businessman from Jacksonville, Florida. He is known in popular culture as the eponym of the rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd; Skinner was the band members' teacher.

@@davidtullis2810 They were all on a single plane. Ronnie was laying on the floor, sleeping when the trees scraped across the bottom. The 20 survivors had some seriously bad injuries, such as Billy Powell's nose was sheared off and had to be reattached. Allen suffered injured discs and his right hand took a beating. Artimus Pyle probably had the less injuries and was able to walk from the rural crash site to find help. The others couldn't walk. There's a documentary here on KZbin any Lynyrd Skynyrd fan might appreciate.
This tune, "On The Hunt" and the "Ballad of Curtis Loew", have always been my top 3 LS songs.

Fun fact: this song among many others was rehearsed extensively in a place they called the “Hell House”, because it had no air-conditioning. It was a backwoods shack in the middle of nowhere on the outskirts of Jacksonville, FL. They did this because studio time was very expensive, so when they hit the studio they weren’t wasting time working on their songs they were just laying down the tracks because they were so prepared.
