Today in music history
IN 1977, three members of the southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd were among six people killed in the crash of a privately chartered plane near Gillsburg, Miss. The band, best known for its 1974 hit Sweet Home Alabama, was travelling between shows at Greenville, S.C. and Baton Rouge, La. when the plane went down. Killed were lead singer, Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines and his wife Cathy, a backup vocalist. The crash occurred just three days after the band's LP Street Survivors was released. The album pictured the group standing in flames and included an order form for a Lynyrd Skynyrd Survival Kit. The LP was quickly recalled and a new cover substituted. Lynyrd Skynyrd was re-formed in 1991, and the group has since released a number of albums and toured extensively.
