When Allen first showed the song to Ronnie Van Zant, he scoffed at it, saying it had too many words.. Later Van Zant had an idea for a melody, asked Allen to play him the song again, and Free Bird was born.
Note: Lynyrd Skynyrd is not a real person. It's just the name of the band (they got the idea from their high school gym teacher, Leonard Skinner). I repeat, none of the band mâ¦embers in Lynyrd Skynyrd were ever actually named Lynyrd Skynyrd. The crash happened on 10/20/1977. The only people that died in the plane crash were the 2 pilots, lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gains, back up singer Cassie Gains, and manager Dean Kilpatrick.
