Lynyryd Skynyrd is a rock band from Jacksonville, Florida fronted by lead singer and lyricist, Ronnie Van Zant. This song is from their first released album in 1973. Sweet Home Alabama and Freebird are their most known songs, but they have a very deep and great catalog of music. In October of 1977, the band's plane crashed, killing three of the ten members, including Ronnie. The survivors would reform ten years later with Ronnie's younger brother taking over on vocals.

All young people need to hear this.

One of the greatest songs ever written. As i get older it means even more.👍

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Period.

I am here in Jacksonville FL, and these are my hometown Boys. We're so Proud of them. All the original band members have passed away now.

I am a 56 year old white guy from South Georgia and I love you for letting this legendary band be a part of your life. You are instantly a better person just for listening to the wisdom of Ronnie van Zant.

“Be something you can love and understand” is incredibly wise and inspiring.

Every song this man sang told a real life story.

Simple man, Free Bird, Tuesday's gone, their list of memorable songs is timeless. fall down this rabbit hole, you ain't coming back.

Love your reaction and your mood. My personal favorite band most of the time. 3 lead guitars, Gary Rossington on the grooves and slides, Alan Collins shredding, Ed King then Steve Gaines after King left. Steve Gaines could do it all, Ed King was a brilliant song constructor. They practiced in the early days at "Hell House" in Florida. Just some old tin roof cabin near some water. Hours and hours days and days years. That's how they got so good. They play tighter than almost anyone. And Ronnie, the lead singer. Beautiful voice and soul. I've heard that he never wrote his lyrics down while composing, and that eventually they'd get written down after the song was completed. Any way keep it up. The Lambo may or may not come, but perseverance is forever.

I'm happy for you, Man! You get it and your still a very young man. May God Bless you and yours.

You can either spend an eternity looking for happiness alone or spend a moment with people you love and feel eternal happiness. It's so simple and we overcomplicate everything, running after things we don't need. It's heartbreaking how easy happiness is and many of us don't even see it.

That was one of the most tragic moments in history this band is form my state of Florida sure do miss these people

I was a little kid when this song came out,I was living in Jacksonville where this band is from,I found out pretty early on that my oldest cousin went to school with Gary Rossington (guitarist)and I went with her over to his mother's house who was the sweetest lady to me,I only got to meet Gary once and was to young to really know who he was,but I remember him being really nice,and funny too.

Wealth and material things are fleeting. And most of all youth and life are so short! In a blink it's over. If that's what you live for it's over before you know it. But relationships and real life, living well with your loved ones, spending time with one another is what last and makes a difference. Pass on the good stuff to those you love. It's not material. Thanks for the great reaction. Love watching the young folks learning new things.

I have three boys…. Be something you love and understand is so powerful.

Your on the right track freez, I like your positive way of thinking! Listen to Curtis low by skynyrd. Another great message from the south.

Skynyrd is my all time favorite band. They named their band after a high school gym coach, Leonard Skinner, who sent them to the principal’s office for long hair. They did not like him. Lol.

Great reaction. Keep following your dreams and staying a simple man.

I damn sure agree with your cell phone comments.

BOY DON'T U WORRY....YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF IN A SIMPLE MAN LIFE

Glad u been doin good domo, keep it up, proud of u

Ronnie was a great song writer. I believe someone already mentioned that he didn't write lyrics down, he said if he could not remember them they were not that good. He also did live shows barefoot so he could better feel the music. He was taken way too soon. Skynyrd are the Southern Rock standard in my opinion. Great reaction. Thanks.

Do good my brother. All you need is in your soul. Good reaction. Great feedback.

Call me the breeze, just don't listen to it in your car!!!Peace out subbed, peace out young man.

Great attitude for life . You’ll go far

Nice reaction. Great song

Yessir!! keep up the grind. Free Bird next

They got their name from their high school gym teacher Leonard Skinner.

Of course it's not rap,.. it's actual gd music!!!👌😃

None of them are Lynyrd, it's the name of the band, named after their High school gym coach Leonard Skinner,in Jacksonville Florida where they were from

Freez you are correct in my view...cell phone, instant gradification has been a cancer to the idea " Take your time...don't live too fast.

Great reaction! If you want to check out more listen to Saturday Night Special. It's about gun violence.
