After Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane went down, high schoolers such as myself were anxious to see what the surviving members would do musically.  The remaining guitarists, Gary Rossington and Allen Collins, formed Roosington Collins and this song became the band's biggest hit.  Although lacking the Skynyrd sound without Ronnie Van Zant and the others, this song stands on its own very well and also holds up very well today.
