July 22, 20232 yr Ronnie Van Zant was one of the greatest songwriter, composer of that era. His rise to fame ended way to soon as on October 20, 1977, a plane carrying the band between shows from Greenville, South Carolina, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, ran out of fuel outside Gillsburg, Mississippi. The passengers had been informed about potential problems with the Convair CV-240 and were told to brace for a crash. Van Zant died upon impact. U-Tube has several of his recorded shows as well as his Austin Texas Show.

They were his little brothers with very little talent in my opinion. Look it up on U-tube and listen to Free Bird, Sweet Home Alabama and Simple Man by the Original Band.
