"On April 3, 2015, Bob Burns, the American drummer who was in the original line-up of the Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd died in a car crash in Georgia when his car struck a mailbox and a tree with the front of the vehicle. Burns was the only occupant of the car and was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. He appeared on the band's 'Sweet Home Alabama,' 'Gimme Three Steps' and 'Free Bird.'" He plays a nice set here.

Good evening, my friend SGT (Join to see) and thank you for sharing the music video of Lynyrd Skynyrd performing "Workin' For MCA" live in Hamburg, Germany on December 5th, 1974.
I saw they play live at Evansville, Indiana in may 1975 while I was stationed at Fort Campbell.
Classic southern-rock band - devastated by a horrible plane crash and they did yeoman's work to rise from the ashes.
"Workin' For MCA" written by Edward C. King and Ronald W. Vanzant
Lyrics
"Seven years of hard luck, comin' down on me
From the Florida border, yes up to Nashville Tennessee
I worked in every joint you can name, mister, every honkytonk
Along come Mr Yankee Slicker, sayin' maybe you're what I want
[Chorus:]
Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money
Workin' for MCA
Oh, 9000 dollars, just to sow at the wind
But we smiled at the Yankee Slicker with a big ol' southern grin
They're gonna take me out to California gonna make me a superstar
Just pay me all of my money, mister, maybe you won't get a scar
[Chorus]
Slickers took my money since I was seventeen
If it ain't no pencil pusher, then it got to be a honkytonk queen
But I'll sign my contract baby, and I want you people to know
That every penny that I make, I'm gonna see where my money goes
[Chorus]"
