Early years of Lynyrd Skynyrd
Early years of Lynyrd Skynyrd
In the summer of 1964, teenage friends Ronnie Van Zant (vocals), Allen Collins, and Gary Rossington (guitar), formed the band "The Noble Five" then later in 1965 changed to "My Backyard" along with Larry Junstrom (bass) and Bob Burns (drums) in Jacksonville, Florida. Their early influences included British Invasion bands such as Free, The Yardbirds, the Rolling Stones, and The Beatles, as well as Southern blues and country & western music, and later The Allman Brothers Band. In 1968, the group won a local Battle of the Bands contest and the opening slot on several Southeast shows for the California-based psychedelic rock band Strawberry Alarm Clock.
Lynyrd Skynyrd ( )Forvo Audio PronunciationThis is not completely in line with the title of their first album, (pronounced l?h-'nérd 'skin-'nérd), which would suggest that Lynyrd is to be pronounced the same as the name Leonard. is an American rock band, formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1964. The band became prominent in the Southern United States in 1973, and rose to worldwide recognition before three members and one road crew member died in an airplane crash in 1977, including lead vocalist and primary songwriter Ronnie Van Zant. The band reformed in 1987 for a reunion tour with Ronnies younger brother Johnny Van Zant as the frontman and continues to record music today. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 13, 2006.http://www.rockhall.com/inductees/inductee-list/
