Another Rock Legend Gone

[Fatdog]

Ed King, who played guitar for Lynyrd Skynyrd from 1972 to 1975 and 1987 to 1996 and co-wrote the band's 1974 classic "Sweet Home Alabama", died Wednesday at his Nashville home. It's his voice counting off the "One, two, three" before going into the instantly recognizable guitar riff that starts the song.

Another one gone.

I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd in New York years ago...they were cool

Sad news, lot of respect for these guys. Sweet Home is such a iconic tune that people forget how deep the song is, great guy will be sorely missed by many.

This is the time period I have been dreading....But I am so grateful that I saw literally EVERYONE back in the 80's.
