Gregg Allman : Southern Blood

 Gregory LeNoir Allman

 (December 8, 1947 – May 27, 2017) 

was an American musician, 

singer and songwriter. 

He was known for performing 

in the Allman Brothers Band. 

Allman grew up with an

 interest in

 rhythm and blues music, 

and the Allman Brothers Band

 fused it with rock music, 

jazz, and country. 

He wrote several 

of the band's 

most popular songs,

 including 

"Whipping Post", 

"Melissa", 

and

 "Midnight Rider". 

Allman also had a

 successful solo career, 

releasing eight studio albums. 

He was born 

and spent 

much of his childhood 

in Nashville, Tennessee, 

before relocating to 

Daytona Beach, Florida, 

and then 

Macon, Georgia.

He and his brother 

Duane Allman 

formed the Allman Brothers Band

 in 1969, 

which reached mainstream success 

with their 1971 live album

 At Fillmore East,

 but shortly thereafter, 

Duane was killed

 in a motorcycle crash. 

The band continued, 

and released 

Brothers and Sisters, 

which became their 

most successful album,

 in 1973. 

Allman began a 

solo career with 

Laid Back

 the same year. 

He gained some 

additional fame for his

 1975 to 1979 

marriage to

 pop star Cher. 

He had an unexpected

 late-career hit 

with his cover 

of the song

 "I'm No Angel"

 in 1987, 

and his seventh 

solo album, 

Low Country Blues

 (2011), 

saw the highest 

chart positions

 of his career. 

Throughout his life, 

Allman struggled with

 alcohol and substance use, 

which formed the basis

 of his memoir

 My Cross to Bear

 (2012). 

His final album, 

Southern Blood, 

was released 

posthumously on 

September 8, 2017.
