Credit to Gary Rossington for keeping the band going, and doing it with some fine musicians. But nothing can eclipse the lineup with him, Ronnnie Van Zant, Allen Collins, Ed King, Billy Powell, Artimus Pyle and Leon Wilkeson. Skynyrd served up their third on this day in 1975. 
Ronnie 1977), Allen (1990) Billy (2009) and Leon (2001) all passed on.
