If you didn’t know Ronnie never wrote down any lyrics. He said if it wasn’t worth remembering it’s not worth singing. His approach to music was unmatched.

True story. My youngest son who is 21 and in college and suffers from High Anxiety and Depression, always worrying about what he’s going to do with his life to the point it make him physically ill . Just recently he was having an episode and I asked him to listen to this song and that this is what his Mom and me were trying to say to him. He says it really has helped calm him and listens to it often. Therapy for the soul !

They wrote this song after one of the band members' grandma passed away and another band member's mom passed away. This was a tribute to the advice both had gotten from those that passed away

"Forget your lust FOR the rich man's gold". Lust, Greed, Envy - 3 of the 7 deadlies.

Danced with my only son at his wedding to this. I insisted it be this version.

You may not have grown up with those words of encouragement and vision but I have to say after watching hundreds of you reactions and hearing your thoughts, that you still made yourself into one hell of a good man. 🙌

This song goes right to your soul. 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🎸🇺🇸

That old Bob Burns could hit those drums,too,like they owed him money...This song can feed your soul for sure.

I always liked “The Ballad of Curtis Lowe” by Skinnerd

Ronnie is one of the most underrated singer/songwriters in any genre!

Respect all day..!!!!

Once again, check out Leon Wilkeson's bass lines in this. He's not just hanging out on the root notes; he's playing little melodic lines all over the place. It's a very active part, but it never detracts from the vocal. Simply brilliant.

Ah....back to Lynryd Skynrd....awesome. Southern Rock.....hang on and have fun ! Check out Gimme 3 steps...another great one.🎼🎶🎸🎵🎤🎹😎🤘

I agree 💯 percent, there is only one Lynyrd Skynyrd ☮️ awesome

Outstanding!!! In case you are not aware, Shinedown’s original guitar player, Jasin Todd, is married to Ronnie Van Zant’s daughter, Melody. The young girl holding Van Zant’s photo in the Shinedown Simple Man video is Van Zant's granddaughter, Aria Todd.

Call me the breeze is another great lynyrd skynyrd song.

Loving this journey down memory lane👍🏻👍🏻

One of my all time favorites

Words spoken true in a song

Whoever was there sound engineer was amazing. This sounded so well produced for this time period.
