As a 54 yo male currently, I never knew who they were growing up and I’m from Alabama believe it or not. But in my mid twenties I started paying attention to the original band and the more of their songs I heard made me become a super fan and a researcher of the band and it’s history. In my humble opinion they were the best rock band to come out of the ‘70’s and they have more consistently good songs than some of the other so called great bands who used a lot of “album filler” songs just so they could release another album. These boys were the epitome of hard work, sacrifice, a blessed talent and perfect timing of being in the right place at the right time. Ronnie never wrote a single word of his songs on paper, they were all in his head. When asked how he could that, he replied “if it ain’t worth remembering, it ain’t no good”. R.I.P. boys.

​@@vc23it doesn't seem possible, but they were better live when l saw them in '75 literally blowing me away in awe what l had experienced. The power, creativeness, the extremely hardest working band ever which is why they are even more significant now then back then because they are timeless and their lives cut short. Ronnie sang in his barefeet to feel the vibe of the band. He wrote songs about his life in his head, never written down😂! For instance, "Give Me 3 Steps" was a true account of the missteps of Ronnie, then truly running out of a bar with a huge 6'5" big dude with a gun in his hand. Guitarists Gary and Alan were sitting in his car waiting for Ronnie to come out but not that way. They both said they couldn't stop laughing at the situation, went immediately home together and wrote that song that night, lol!! "Simple Man" was written nearly same way. The boys got talking about the wisdom their Grandma's told them and "Simple Man" became a reality. They had a shack with no air-conditioning in Jacksonville swamps. They practically lived there 24/7, that's where the magic happened. Ronnie was Lynyrd Skynyrd, he was the leader, lyricist he became because he was a poet for years writing and that paid off dividends of a major magnitude!! He also directed the band on stage via his orders. If you listen to their live versions, ever notice you can hear Ronnie loud and clear? His orders, he didn't want to be drowned out like most bands. That great discipline and control. Ronnie beat it into the band he wanted their live sound just like the recording, so they practiced over and over again. By the time their first album came out, they played all those songs with very few takes because of insane practice over and over again. 5 albums in less than 4 years, then tragedy struck a extremely sad ending when they finally had the sound, right combination, l know, what was wrong with the one they had, nothing, Steve Gaines gave them a kick in the ass they needed!! They were the best live band in the world middle of '76 till their ending Fall of '77. All true and tons more!! The iconic story of Lynyrd Skynyrd who when they picked up somebody new, the magic got bigger starting with Billy Powell, the Ed King which made 3 guitarists, Artimus Pyle, a better drummer, then 3 back up female singers, one being Steve Gaines sister, then gone!!

When a company moved me to Alabama in the early 90's I stopped at a gas station on my way to my apartment. I pulled up an parked and opened the door of my new car. There was this dude getting gas that had every speaker purchased flat out blaring but at a crystal clear of the tunage. I had never heard Simple Man before but by God on that day I did. The dude never even glanced at me due to my out of state tags- cool. The dude from there in Alabama opened a can of beer, got in his truck and bolted. I later clearly understood he was a 'Simple Man' an thought nothing about it. After living in Alabama 10 years before moving to South Carolina I knew that I had become a 'Simple Man' and to this day very proud of it.

A guy I'm guessing in his 50s put this on the juke box and bought us all a round his words "Boys live your life like this song and you'll never go wrong." Nearly 30 years later I've never forgotton that

@@patrickfoster4586 Artimus not original member, Bob Burns started on Drums, he was another childhood friend but suffered from mental illness aggravated by drugs & he has to quit but he also died. Ricky Medlocke played drums for a short time 71-72, there were also a few other guys that filled in, Bob was in & out til 74, he had mental break in Europe & Artimus took over after that. Gary is only original guy left, I can't imagine what that is like for him, even all these yrs later. He, Ronnie & Gary all so close, my fav Freebird performance is Knebworth as well. They all kicked ass that day & Allen really put on a show, I loved when Ronnie led Gary & Allen out on the tongue. One of my fav moments is closer to end when they are standing very close to each other, you can't even see Allen's face because of his hair but st 1 point Gary looks up at Allen & smiled, gets me everytime. I would love to know abt that moment, did Allen say something or was Gary just smiling in that can you believe we are here,call our hard work payin off way. A part where Steve & Allen down on the tongue playin & Steve just has the biggest grin, he was havin the time of his life. I find it ALL so very sad still, so much tragedy, it seemed to follow them. Later Allen is just killing it & so into it, he turns around & had his back to the audience just jammin away & Ronnie goes over & gently turns him back facing crowd. The DVD I got cut that part out for some reason but you can see it on Utube. Not sure why those parts touched me so much. I am glad Gary found Dale, I wish Allrn would have had someone too. I know after his wife died it abt did him in, if she had lived, things could have been so different & obviously

Superb song. I was lucky enough to hear this performed by the original band in 1977 at London's Rainbow Theatre, having also seen the awesome performance by them at Knebworth the previous year in 1976 where they stole the show - the Stones headlined that gig. Couldn't believe it when tragedy struck - I was so lucky to witness probably the greatest live band I have ever seen - they were just awesome.

Mama told me when I was young Come sit beside me my only son And listen closely to what I say And if you do this it'll help you Some sunny day oh yeah Oh take your time don't live too fast Troubles will come and they will pass Go find a woman yeah and you'll find love And don't forget son there is someone up above And be a simple kind of man Oh be something you love and understand Baby be a simple kind of man Oh won't you do this for me son if you can Forget your lust for the rich man's gold All that you need is in your soul And you can do this oh babe if you try All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied And be a simple kind of man Oh be something you love and understand Baby be a simple kind of man Oh won't you do this for me son if you can Oh yes I will Oh don't you worry you'll find yourself Follow your heart and nothing else And you can do this oh babe if you try All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied And be a simple kind of man Oh be something you love and understand Baby be a simple kind of man Oh won't you do this for me son if you can And baby be a simple real simple man Oh be something you love and understand Baby be a simple kind of man

I love this song.. Music from the 70s is so relevant for this generation and the future generations to come. Growing up in Ohio in the 70s was a blessing because I grew up in a very diverse environment. So, I was exposed to rock and roll. I remember hearing how the music was taboo. But, people don't hear the words you all were expressing. Simple Man, says a lot about how you were raised. Freebird is about not changing or can't change for whatever reason.. How he said oh lord. Even as a kid I cried. I love your music because it's universal and it's a story of life. Thank you for writing it. I have a half Arabian son from Saudi. I'm a black american. My son lives with his father due to cultural laws. I sent him music and your band is one that I exposed him to. Because I want my son to be a simple man. ❤

But the best part about it was that they were themselves "mere mortals" but just hard-working mortals, just like people who get up and go to work every day somewhere, getting great at what they do. This was the hardest working band of all time, past, present, or future, slogging it out seven days a week in an unconditioned cabin in the woods, just to create masterpieces for the rest of us who could have done the same thing had we their desire and drive.

Thank you for sharing, what a great band and so young. They would have topped AC/DC and Zeplin. Both great of course. Blackberry Smoke is our current Skynyrd, not comparing but I really I think Blackberry is an awesome band.

I love this music it's my soul and I enjoy it every time I listen to it. I was lucky to see them @ Del Mar three ago not with Gary though he had just passed away in April with the brother it was really fun and they did a great job. They showed the original band on the screens and made me cry but enjoyed every minute great show. L love Lynyrd Skynyrd and always will💌

I was there. I can't believe that I got to see all of the bands back then. I loved every minute of it all, but I don't think I realised how special the times were. I suppose that I thought that it would all go on forever. How wrong I was.
