Terribly sad news

 

[anatta]

Gregory LeNoir Allman was born in Nashville on Dec. 8, 1947, slightly more than a year after Duane. Tragedy struck early for the brothers when their father, Willis Turner Allman, an Army captain who had just returned home, was shot and killed in 1949 while helping a hitchhiker.

damn.

I still miss Duane - RIP Greg

One of my biggest rock heroes growing up.

Sad.

Hope that he, Duane, Barry and Butch are together jamming again soon.

He formed one of the most iconic and successful southern rock blues bands in the 70s and 80s with his brother Duane.
All you know about him is he was very briefly married to Cher.
Figures...

Good musician, soulful blues singer, but a complete asshole...

I met them in Boston in the 70s backstage at the Boston gardens... Richard Betts was a real gentleman.

I understand he treated men with respect.

No doubt he recognized you as the sissy the rest of us do.

Sorry but no Quack ohh

On Skynyrd’s first live album, 1976’s One More from the Road, Van Zant can be heard asking the crowd, “What song is it you wanna hear?” The overwhelming response leads into the 14-minute version of the song that became iconic. Though Van Zant often dedicated “Free Bird” to Duane Allman, contrary to urban legend, it was not written for him.
