      After the plane crash, and his slow recovery, Gary spent more and more time here in Sheffild, Alabama. Shefield had always been their home-away -FROM HOME And as Ed king said, The Shoals was a better place to work than new york or LA.

      Thats right , it was changed out of respect for the deceased and a request of Teresa Gaines, Steve Gaines wife, the original cover of "Street Survivors” was a photograph of the band standing in flames. Eerily, Steve Gaines' (in the middle) eyes were closed and his head appears to be engulfed in the flames.

The picture can be seen on youTube along with the great Skynryd song, One more time! it wasn't the first encounter between Americans and British. in 1969, The Stones slipped into tiny Sheffild, Alabama to record a few decent songs. one was you Gotta move and a couple of obscure songs called Wild horses and Brown Sugar. Then they quietly slipped out of thown because they were here illegally. People from all over the world come here to FAME StudioS in Muscle Shoals and Muscle Shoals Sound Studios in Sheffield Alabama. Both studios are active again and are also museums. Watch the Briliant movie, MUSCLE SHOALS AND YOU WILL BE HOOKED JUST LIKE THE RST OF US! Then visit the Studios. Its two small towns so they are easy to find.

(Cassie,Steve 2 of the airplane crash victims' father)I didn't realize the legends L.Skynyrd were to music as I was about 6 when the plane crashed.Wish I'd taken photos and talked a bit more to family members when bringing my children to visit their father. Only later did I begin listening and deep diving the L.S. catalog. Even met Lacy VanZant,Ronnie,Donnie,and Johnny's father. He was super nice,looked like a large Southern Santa Claus,white-bearded farmer,rural type,much older man.The people I met were extremely kind people, unpretentious,with a palpable air of tragedy,deep pain about them, in hindsight. Considering all the loss,not sure how they were even upright tbh

    That thumbnail picture with them with the flames was the original issue of the record album on the front cover. This album was recorded shortly before the plane crash and once that happens, they retracted this one and released wine without the flames in it and that's the one that is most common to find. It's a powerful song and it's musically incredible of course and they have so many songs. Even among their hits there are so many songs but then there are a lot more on albums that are just amazing.

You pushed this gun nut a little with “Saturday Night Special”, but some folks needed to listen then and still do. Great song. And then there is “Ballad of Curtis Lowe”. THANK YOU. Loved y’all in Little Rock. You blew the top off Barton Coliseum ! Remember the tall dude, with long “hair colored yellow”, standing like a statue on stage wearing cowboy boots, cowboy hat and nothing else?! Nekkid! Free as a Bird. Thanks for keeping SECURITY off his bare ass and letting him have his moment in the spotlight. He gifted all of us an epic experience and memory as well . Really hope he listened to what y’all were trying to tell us all with your songs. If not, RIP to him and all our brothers and sisters who never were able to get that monkey off their backs….. Those of us lucky enough to still be here miss all of y’all. You deserved better. You and the band. If you run into my old neighbor, Sweet Connie Hamsy up there, tell her Jeff says hello.

    Al Kooper, the Forrest Gump of Rock n Roll, said they were the best composers and arrangers of any band he ever heard or worked with.
    He asked them how they learned to do counterpoint with their 3 guitars and they said, "What's that?"
    They are tight, melodic, often with 2 guitar leads going off at once.

    According to a book I read about Skynyrd, Prince charming was what Ronnie Vanzant called Gary Rossington. Gary Rossington and Allen Collins were both involved in separate vehicle crashes around the same time frame and that's what inspired this song.

    There was a point where both guitarists, Allan and Gary, were smashing up cars and themselves. Ronnie wrote this song as a wakeup call for friend and bandmember/guitarist Gary Rossington, who, ironically, ended up being the last surviving member of Skynyrd, playing Skynyrd, in Skynyrd. My favorite Skynyrd guitarist/melody maker, however, was Ken King, who's creative partnership with Ronnie spawned their earlier hits. Ken King recently passed. R.I.P. Ken.

  • @ALifeThatRocks

    A wicked wicked guitar arrangement. Three guitars + madness. Guitarist Gary Rossington was the subject of this song. Gary heard the ‘smell of death’ message from Ronnie through this song and lived a very long life. He owes that to Ronnie.

    "The smell of "Death" surrounds you" is the lyric...
    Lynyrd Skynyrd - That Smell (original version) Lyrics
    Artist: Lynyrd Skynyrd
    Album: Street Survivors
    Heyo! SONGLYRICS just got interactive. Highlight. Review: RIFF-it.
    RIFF-it good.
    Whiskey bottles and brand new cars
    Oak tree you're in my way
    There's too much coke and too much smoke
    Look what's going on inside you
    Ooh, that smell
    Can't you smell that smell?
    Ooh, that smell
    The smell of death surrounds you
    Angel of darkness is upon you
    Stuck a needle in your arm (You fool, you)
    So take another toke, have a blow for your nose,
    One more drink fool, would drown you (Hell, yeah)
    Ooh, that smell
    Can't you smell that smell?
    Ooh, that smell
    The smell of death surrounds you
    Now they call you Prince Charming
    Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes.
    Say you'll be alright come tomorrow
    But tomorrow might not be here for you (Yeah, you)
    Ooh, that smell
    Can't you smell that smell?
    Ooh, that smell
    The smell of death surrounds you
    Aw, you fool, you.
    You stick them needles in your arm
    I know I been there before
    One little problem that confronts you
    Got a monkey on your back
    Just one more fix Lord, might do the trick
    One hell of a price for you to get your kicks (Hell, yeah)
    Ooh, that smell
    Can't you smell that smell?
    Ooh, that smell
    The smell of death surrounds you
    Ooh, that smell
    Can't you smell that smell?
    Ooh, that smell
    The smell of death surrounds you
    Oh, you fool, you
    Don't stick those needles in your arm.
    You're just a fool, just a fool, just a fool.

    That Smell! Hands down! I was in my early 20’s when the album come out, and I was a player then , great job, to much money from a young dummy, fast cars, girls plenty, hanging out by the ocean, when I wasn’t working, Southern Californication” I knew what the lyrics meant first time I heard it! Blasting out of my custom pioneer Am/FM cassette radio with supper power Jenson speakers with the tweeters, cruising PCH Blvd. hittin refer and six pack tall can Buds on the passenger side floor one between my legs. Working on a night move” Never thought I see 35 let alone live to be 66 now! Thank God! I’m still alive! Jesus Saved Me, Hallelujah” Unfortunately some didn’t make it,😢 I wasn’t gangster, and I wasn’t rich, grew up in a middle-class neighborhood“ started work before I was 13 and worked up until when I retired, what a ride it’s been:
    Really enjoyed watching you and hearing this song again! Your analysis and interjections were spot on! I will definitely subscribe and keep following you” keep up the good work! And may God grant you success and continued love:”
    Peace out✌🏻

    Check out the Rossington Collins Band .... they formed after the plane crash with the members that survived .....The Rossington Collins Band was an American southern rock band founded in 1979 by guitarists Gary Rossington and Allen Collins following the 1977 plane crash which killed three members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, of which both had been members.[1] The band included two other surviving members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Billy Powell and Leon Wilkeson. The band wished to develop their own sound rather than being regarded as a reformed Lynyrd Skynyrd, and toward that objective they hired a female lead vocalist, Dale Krantz, who later married Rossington.[2] The Jacksonville-based band released two albums before disbanding in 1982.[1] Their biggest hit, "Don't Misunderstand Me," charted in late 1980.[3] .....Following the crash of the Skynyrd plane in October 1977, chances for a reunion looked slim. Allen Collins had severe injuries to his arm that almost made it necessary for the arm to be amputated. Leon Wilkeson had suffered internal injuries that initially made doctors declare him dead at the scene of the crash, only to be resuscitated later.[4] He also had a badly broken arm. Gary Rossington had also suffered severe injuries in the crash. Only Artimus Pyle (former Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer) and Billy Powell were in good enough condition to be released from the hospital within two weeks of the crash.

    This was back when there was no CD or MP3 players. Barely into "Cassetville" too. I'm old enough to remember 8-track players. The coolest is when you had one in a car. Otherwise, all you had was the radio, and many songs from Skynyrd would be played religiously. They even played the entire version of Freebird (about 11 minutes long) and today, you would never hear that. Too many commercials to cram in every single minute. The vinyl days were more romantic, and it was a thrill to be a kid and buy a record album and see the images on the covers, etc., and read a little about the artist. You felt more connected to them. I had this whole album and hundreds of others. Something more personal and sincere about the experience.
