Lynyrd Skynyrd

 Originally formed in 1964 as "My Backyard" in Jacksonville, Florida, the band was also known by names such as "The Noble Five" and "One Percent", before finally deciding on "Lynyrd Skynyrd" in 1969.
 The band gained worldwide recognition for its live performances and signature songs "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird".
 At the peak of their success, two band members and a backup singer died in an airplane crash in 1977, putting an abrupt end to the band's most popular incarnation.

Rossington Collins Band

 The band included two other surviving members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Billy Powell and Leon Wilkeson.
 The band wished to develop their own sound rather than being regarded as a reformed Lynyrd Skynyrd, and toward that objective they hired a female lead vocalist, Dale Krantz, who later married Rossington.
 The Jacksonville-based band released two albums before disbanding in 1982.
