Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man! OH MY LORD THIS IS...

Must listen to Tuesday’s Gone, Sweet Home Alabama, The Ballard of Curtis Loew, Gimme Three Steps, I could go on and on! All originals from Skynyrd

Grown men are thinking about their moms and bawling their eyes out listening to this song…it’s been happening for 50 years.

Nothing beats the original! There's so much more Lynard Skynyrd to explore. Gimme 3 Steps, Call me the breeze, That Smell, Saturday night special and more.

As a lifelong Alaskan, I played this song while I was in hard labor with my son. The words resonated with me as a gift to my son’s spirit from my heart. He has grown to be a great man, lovely wife, beautiful children, honest, hard-working salt of the Earth.

Dude, you are experiencing time changing music with Lynyrd Skynyrd for anyone who was in the 70's for sure and they've changed people ever since. Their music is real and original. There is definitely tragedy associated with them but we are fortunate they left their music for us.

“Give me 3 steps . Give me 3 steps mister “ hilarious song.

The last surviving founder of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gary just past away. He was the one that survived the plane crash that killed band mates. Great band and songs. I enjoy your honest and touching reactions. God Bless!

Tuesday’s gone and Ballad of Curtis Loew are MUSTS by LS

Born and raised in NY and lived in NC for 11 years. Southerners are proud people and the Rebel flag is not viewed as a negative symbol by most. It reflects a passion for living a simple easy going lifestyle. Work hard and play hard. Hunting, fishing, off-roading in the dirt, drinking at a BBQ, NASCAR!!! It’s not about race for most it’s about not getting caught up in the rat race like the northerners.

I grew up in the 60s and 70s. The rebel flag for my generation had nothing to do with hate. I was part of the generation that was the first generation to attend integrated schools. The rebel flag for many of us was all about being proud of being a southerner. We were criticized and put down for being a part of something we were not a part of like the civil war and the hate groups of the times. We were called dumb, racist and the products of incest. I was in the deep south and in rural community. We had zero problems when integration came to our schools. None, nada, zip. We kids got along great. Played sports together and respected each other. There were bumps here and there. But minor ones at that. We figured out things one day at a time. And ultimately we figured out we were the same under the veneer of how God made us.

This goes on all the "Southern Rock" and "Classic Rock" playlists! The rebel flag just means we do what we want and we believe in freedom, independence, responsibility and taking care of each other. It means there's gonna be good music, tasty food, moonshine and cool people at the party that probably have black kids or grandkids and in reality are pretty cool with everybody...y'all it's 2024...it means we are OUTLAWS...not racists. Most of us...and we distance ourselves from the troublemakers.

Call Me The Breeze is insane too! I can’t stand still when that song is on!

"Call Me The Breeze," "Tuesday's Gone," "Gimmie Three Steps" will get the ball rolling.

Can't believe u never heard this. Better late than never. Great classic song.

If this song doesn't move you, you have no pulse. It is absolutely a beautiful, moving song with a timeless message.

Lynyrd Skynyrd's first LP came out in August 1973 and I was hooked on their music. The song Simple Man is one of my favorite and I have been listening to that song for over fifty years. Every time I listen it still brings tears to my eyes.

The original and the BEST!

Fun fact I babysat my newborn granddaughter during the week when she was fussy this is one of the songs they calmed her down😂 why who knows but she had good taste in music.

This was their first album and they had a well-known producer. The producer didn't want this song on the album. Ronnie led him from the studio to his car and told him they would let him know when they were done recording it. Ronnie could be a scary dude ... especially when he was drunk.

The guy on the far right (Ed King) had just joined the band and still felt like an outsider. He was a California dude and the rest of the band was from Jacksonville, FL which is practically South Georgia. In 1967 he had already been on a number one hit (Incense & Peppermints) with another band called Strawberry Alarm Clock. The band had taken numerous shots in this position for the album cover and on the very last shot, lightning struck right behind Ed's head and they used it. Moments after this final shot was taken, one of the other band members threw up. I think it was from drinking too much.
