- Rock and roll guitar legend Dickey Betts has passed away. The 80-year-old was the co-founder of the Grammy award-winning band, The Allman Brothers Band, and was a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee.
One of the finest pickers ever went home yesterday morning. Ride Easy Brother Betts.
RIP Dickey and thanks David for all you did. I wrote a few newspaper articles about Dickey and it was a lot of fun interacting with both of you.
I followed Dickey since 1968 in a band called the Second Coming it’s been a long road Rest Easy my brother and I can never forget or thank you enough for all the great memories God bless your son Duane and family like Greg said in Midnight Rider The road goes on forever
Rest In Peace 🙏 Dickey Betts,In Rock & Roll Heaven,you know they've got a hell of a band!!!!! and now Dickey Betts has joined the legendary band👍
Dickey Betts a true rock & roll legend. Ramblin Man rocking in heaven. God Bless you...
RIP Brother Dickey! What an American treasure!
She is so hot .
RIP Dickie -I have such great memories of Summer 1973 when “ Ramblin’ Man “ was on the radio everywhere
Started listening to him with the A,B,B then with his Band Great Southern , meet him in 1986 he was a hell of a nice guy R,I,P
In the early '70s at a Lima, Ohio rock club called Yogi's, a very talented cover band, Canary, played a remarkably faithful version of the Dickey Betts instrumental composition, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed," as well as well as the Allman Brothers cover of Muddy Waters' "Trouble No More." So much great music was being released at the time on Capricorn Records, based in Macon, Georgia. Thanks to News 5 and everyone involved in this tribute to a legendary singer/songwriter/guitarist.
Well he told us, when it's time for leaving I hope you understand. RIP Ramblin Man
Rest in Peace Dickey .

RIP, Dickey… you will be most sadly missed.
duane once said;" im the famous one but, dickey is the good one"
2:30 Wow! This story took a turn for the worse. The news anchors acting so silly all the while talking about Kool and the Gang. Which has nothing to do with Dickey Betts passing. Very disrespectful!
RIP Mr. Betts
Her co-anchor was clueless. Bad timing but the interview was a good one
@@SAVANNAHEVENTS True, it was a good interview.
RIP
Learned to pick from Dick Crocco
1:08 is my favorite part of the interview. Great shot! We don't need Mark's input. That's what he thought of the interview? Mark ruined the piece.
What the fuck was he supposed to do...sit there and say nothing?
I always thought of Dickey as a Bluegrass/Rock player. But if his manager thinks he was a Jazz/Rock artist, who am I to argue?
@MrPhotodoc
Yeah, I can see where bluegrass/country influences would be a flavor tasted in Dickey’s music. And he did have some country roots no doubt. I think “Ramblin Man” kinda sticks in folks minds, therefore colors the perception of Dickey Bett’s style.
But if you listen to early ABB they definitely were in this jazz improv kind of thing. The dual weaving in and out with harmony guitar is very much taken straight from dixieland and bop even. Alot of the drum rhythms are as much like jazz as they are rock. ABB took those elements and fused it with the blues along with this southern interpretation of the psych feel that was popular in music then. That period was probably the most experimental in popular music no matter the genre. ABB seems to get pigeonholed as the inovators of “southern rock” but I never really have thought of their music as such. It was a jazz/blues/rock/psych hybrid. Southern Rock such as Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, Wet Willie etc were basically souped up country music. Not to say that is a bad thing, I am certainly fan of all these bands.
Check out Dickey playing jazz guitar while Les Paul was watching him.
DB played a lot like a fiddle player.
Elizabeth Reed is full of jazz guitar
Never heard of him till now and I'm 60 😂😂
@stardel Guess it depends on what type music you were and are into. If at all. Had a gf once who didn’t even listen to music. Very odd to me since music is a big part of my life, but everybodies different.
That's nothing to brag about
I have never heard of SIR and I am over 60.
wow. If you like music at all I am sorry for you after reading your comment. You have no idea what you missed.
You never heard of the Allman Brothers? They were one of the biggest American bands of all time
Too talky
Dickey Betts one of the GOAT guitar players and these idiot news anchors have no clue.
He looked like a homeless person with that hair and hair in his face
