Gayle king should keep her mouth shut. If it wasn't for oprah she wouldn't even be on tv. Gregg was a talented beautiful man and I hate to know he's gone. RIP Gregg
Seriously Gail? Is your mother ok with that? You just want to make sure he’s ok? Nice way to treat a guest like he’s five. Gregg has seen plenty in his lifetime to draw wisdom from. You don’t even deserve to be Interviewing this gentleman.

It started as a good interview until CR began asking insulting questions and GK had to open that hole in her face. I don’t know much about professional journalism, but I would think the first thing you should know is polite etiquette and what crosses the boundaries of good taste. Undeniable props to Gregg for chuckling and keeping his composure.

I have always gotten the feeling from him since reading that autobiography and reading more about him that there is a lot of childhood pain that he either needed to address or had because he mentioned once that he had a therapist but he didn’t want to talk about it. He always insists that it’s the happy times that he remembers but he suggests otherwise in his book. He had a lot of death in his family. He’s quick to say that he doesn’t remember his father who died when he was two but when a child gets older they know that their father died a violent death. They also don’t have a mind that has developed perspective and often feel that the parent left because they were somehow unworthy. Then his brother died when they were both still quite young and had just hit it big. He’s hard to interview I find because he doesn’t want to talk about the pain and yet his book suggests that he did. Cher did say that getting words out of Gregg was like ….. “forget it”.
Greg Allman is one of the few men who look good with long hair and a ponytail. He was a beautiful man. Not many of those.
He most definitely is a literal man. Ask him a straight question and I believe he will give you a straight answer. A very laid back, totally cool guy.

When a man comes to the point where he realizes the mistakes he’s made, and comes to terms to correct them, he truly has arrived to a wonderful place in his life. He showed me, even by their questions, he was at peace with himself, and Jehovah God, and not concerned with the opinions of others. ✨What an indelible, priceless place to be.✨
And gregg sure lived up to what he said! He Left this earth doing what he loved “music” RIP brother Gregg!
How can u have the audacity to say “it’s not about the music to me” it’s Greg allman! These two don’t know the first thing about this mans talent

Gregg listens, really listens.
For all the images of the ultimate kick ass rocker, the ' big bad' guy in the movies, Gregg Allman is a quiet, soft spoken Southern gentleman. He handled Gayle King's inept and somewhat racist interview with humility. He has been through tragic times, bad times, great times and has risen above it all. He is an icon.

I don't think Gayle meant any harm by asking him about getting married again, but I wish she hadn't mentioned that. I think it's kind of a sensitive topic for him. I feel very protective of him and don't want anyone to hurt his feelings or make him feel uncomfortable. I LOVED that man and miss him a lot.

Gayle King should not be allowed to interview anybody else after what she put Greg Allman through. It makes me sick to my stomach that she was allowed to question him that way!

Gayle King " For me it's the women. Do you really want to get married again ? Does your Mother approve' ? What the hell kind of question is this to ask someone like Greg Allman ? For all the questions she could have asked about his life, his impact on music and she asks a stupid assed question like this ? He should have told her it was none of her damned business, but he's too much of a gentleman.
Gayle's dumb questions made him uncomfortable. He was no angel but a fine musician! He also leaves five kids n several have musical talents also so his legacy lives on!!
I differ. He learned to live and overcome as famed to a past as abused to his death. that life dealt him. God Bless ya Gregg my brother! ♥

This has to be the worst interview in the history of interviews. Charlie Rose used to be excellent, don't know what happened to him. And she's just a dunderhead
I live in Georgia. Greg Allman was true southern gentleman. Hated when ask about his marriages. Something’s are just private.
Gayle King was absolutely horrible at asking questions. What a shame that Charlie Rose wasn't allowed to conduct the full interview by himself. King interrupted Gregg as he was opening up, asked if he was "all right" and "what does his mother think"? You can sense the disappointment in Gregg as he had to continue to deal with her.
Great book

But for some reason I bought his autobiography but they are talking about, read it, and maybe I read it after he died or he died soon after. Since then I have been really interested in him.

I got this awful impression that since he had had the liver transplant during that interview and maybe it wasn’t hearing right but it seemed like they were both convinced he was going to die and they made comments that suggested that. Of course if I’m remembering right he lived a few years doing OK I believe and then I just read recently in an excellent article in Rolling Stone, by Mikal Gilmore The Greg’s liver cancer despite the transplant had recurred and he knew his time was limited. But I couldn’t believe that they seem to be suggesting with their questions that he would be leaving us soon and walk with his legacy be
That was the most condescending interview. Gayle King and Charlie Rose made real assholes of themselves and GA, rip, was a complete gentleman. What a morbid, grotesque series of questions and comments from those two. Poor Gregg Allman. I am so glad Rose is Off the air. Rose should be, after this aired!
Que fenomeno como tecĺadista y cantante.casi nadie o pocos reconocen..se murio y nadie hizo un homenaje.nadie se acordo..que pena..su legado musical sera siempre recordado x aquellos q creemos q la musicA es universal.rip.
Would have been nice if he got to answer one question without getting interrupted. Excuse me, I think he did answer 3 of them. Geez man. I'm glad he got to marry a beautiful woman and I hope she was as beautiful on the inside as he was.

Very insulting.
The wives question was awkward for sure but a fact that is hard to close your eyes on when you want to judge the character of a man who just wrote a book about his life. Great talent, great charisma. He was gentle and soft spoken...definitely a legend but I wouldn't call a guy a Gentleman, he who has 7 wives (2 extra-marital kids with other women, 3 kids with 3 different wives), is an alcoholic, does cocaine, heroin, gets a 16 yo stranded girl into it (he was 40), who 2 years later turned to porn to pay for her addiction when he let her down and out (commits suicide some years later). Then at 64, marries a 24 yo girl, who is much younger then any of his kids (let that sink in). I just don't think ''gentleman'' is a word that should be used when referring to Gregg Allman. Of course being a rock legend gives you a free pass to doing all this and still be loved by all. Goes for countless others as well. At least he was honest about it. Enjoy the music!
I think Gregg use to bum cigarettes off me in the men's room at the local movie theater when he was in military school. I was only 8 or 9 but we would sneak in to smoke.
It's the Lord.
Gayle is the KING of the hypocritical self-serving nonsense which deserves no audience. Here, is a gentle man, putting his heart out there, and telling people about his pain, in the hope of helping others. And, this snotty woman tries to rub his nose in "it". She is judgmental, condescending, rottenly above-it-all, and, has zero empathy for the experience she hasn't had.. . . yet.

Its appalling the lack of show prep & research the MSM didnt do to interview this great man. In this & the Kathy Lee & Regis Interviews its glaringly obvious these idiots didn't have a clue whose presence they were in. Duh which sock do you put on first, left or right?
What the HELL is the matter with Gayle King? "I worry about you, Greg." My ass.
Wow. That lady Interviewer...what a slimey person. The other interviewer you could tell liked the musician and his music. The musician seemed to not be rattled . Overall I enjoyed this interview. Don't know any of the people in it, but enjoyed it.
Gregg Allman will leave behid him a Massive Legacy of music that inspired and hit the hearts of millions of people. You vicious pieces of crap who tried to bring him down, will leave nothing memorable behind you because you created nothing, produced nothing, and lived on negativity.

They sure did turn on old Charlie rose. I haven't watched that morning show since. Best interviewer in the world. He train all those wemon and they turned on him with the bullshit from 30 years ago.

I think Gayle King is a great interviewer. She's not saying anything wrong. She read his book and ask's questions. Gregg is handling that quite well. I read his book twice. Great read both times. I liked it. I found Gregg to be a straight shooter. He calls it like he sees it. Great read. I commented on his book once. Several years ago. He replied. Sent me an email. Wish I would have printed that. Stupid! stupid! stupid!. Loved his read.
