In the Seventies, the legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd were one of the most popular southern rock bands with a powerful blues/rock style performed by their impressive line-up that included the late Ronnie Van Zant on vocals and the fantastic triple guitar work of Gary Rossington, Ed King and Allen Collins. Al Kooper, another legend in his own right, discovered the band and secured Lynyrd Skynyrd a recording contract with MCA Records. Kooper produced their first three albums that were all eventually certified platinum or multi-platinum.
