Lynyrd Skynyrd formed in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1964 and spent its early years playing local gigs under names like My Backyard and One Percent before adopting the now-iconic moniker in 1969—a tongue-in-cheek tribute to a high school gym teacher, Leonard Skinner, who enforced the school’s dress code against long hair. The original lineup included Ronnie Van Zant on vocals, Gary Rossington and Allen Collins on guitars, Larry Junstrom on bass, and Bob Burns on drums. They spent years honing their live show, building a regional following that would eventually carry them to national attention.

Their breakthrough came with the release of (Pronounced ‘Lĕh-‘nérd ‘Skin-‘nérd) in 1973, which introduced tracks like “Simple Man” and “Gimme Three Steps,” but it was the nine-minute epic “Free Bird” that became their defining anthem. The song’s dual-guitar outro, led by Rossington and Collins, became one of the most requested and performed songs in American rock history. Their follow-up, Second Helping, released in 1974, featured “Sweet Home Alabama,” a chart-topping answer to Neil Young’s criticism of the South and a staple of classic rock radio to this day.

Between 1975 and 1977, Lynyrd Skynyrd released a run of successful albums, including Nuthin’ Fancy, Gimme Back My Bullets, and Street Survivors. Their songwriting continued to evolve, blending blues, country, and hard rock with Southern storytelling. “Saturday Night Special” and “What’s Your Name” added to their catalog of rock radio staples. But tragedy struck just three days after the release of Street Survivors in October 1977. A chartered plane carrying the band crashed in Mississippi, killing Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines, and three others. The album cover, originally featuring the band surrounded by flames, was quickly withdrawn and replaced out of respect.

Following the crash, the surviving members went their separate ways for nearly a decade. In 1987, the band regrouped for a tribute tour with Johnny Van Zant—Ronnie’s younger brother—on vocals. The new lineup eventually evolved into a full-time band, and over the years, they released a series of albums including Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991, Endangered Species (1994), Twenty (1997), and Vicious Cycle (2003). They remained road warriors, continuing to tour and record despite the deaths of several original members including Allen Collins, Leon Wilkeson, Billy Powell, and Gary Rossington, the last founding member, who passed in 2023.

Lynyrd Skynyrd has released 14 studio albums and six live albums over the course of their career. The band has placed more than 20 singles on the Billboard charts, with “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Free Bird,” “That Smell,” “You Got That Right,” and “What’s Your Name” remaining among their best-known tracks. They were officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 by Kid Rock, with surviving founding and classic-era members in attendance. Their music has earned multi-platinum status, with Gold & Platinum and All Time Greatest Hits selling millions of units worldwide.

Beyond music, members of Lynyrd Skynyrd have been involved in various philanthropic efforts, particularly supporting disaster relief and veterans’ charities. The band has also licensed their music for cultural and historical retrospectives, appearing in films, documentaries, and tributes that chronicle the Southern rock movement and American rock history at large. Ronnie Van Zant’s legacy, in particular, continues through his lyrics, which have been quoted on monuments, political campaigns, and memorials alike.
