Celebrating the life of
Gregg Allman
Passed away on May 27, 2017
Legendary Singer-Songwriter and Musician
Gregg Allman, the singer-songwriter and musician who was a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band, died Saturday, May 27, 2017. He had recently been in poor health. He was 69.
Known for his distinctively bluesy voice, Allman led the band alongside his brother, Duane Allman, in its early days. When Duane died tragically at 24, Gregg carried on, incorporating his brother’s legacy into the band’s sound as they soared to new heights of popularity. In later years, Allman pursued a solo career, one that dovetailed with continued reunions and reformations of the Allman Brothers Band.
As one of the primary songwriters for the Allman Brothers Band, Allman was responsible for enduring classics that include “Melissa,” “Midnight Rider,” and “Whipping Post.” His compositions helped shape the direction of Southern rock, a subgenre that burgeoned as the brothers got their start. Influenced by the blues musicians he revered – Muddy Waters, B.B. King – Allman wove classic blues sounds in with his rock 'n' roll jams, taking the music in unexpected directions with unusual chord progressions. When he put it together with the contributions of the rest of the band, the result was a series of albums considered some of the best of the era.
In the first half of the 1970s, the Allman Brothers Band was on top of the world, releasing massively popular albums and playing to fan-packed arenas and stadiums. But it took years of struggle before they got there – and there would be years of struggle after their peak, as well.
Born Dec. 8, 1947, in Nashville, Tennessee, Allman was playing guitar by the time he was in his early teens, working as a paperboy to save up enough money to buy his first guitar. As he learned, brother Duane discovered his own interest in the instrument, and the brothers wrestled for possession of Gregg’s guitar as Duane’s skills advanced quickly.
Even as they fought over the guitar, they also worked together, joining local bands and honing their skills as they performed with others. The first group they started together was the Misfits, followed by the Shufflers. Things began to get serious when they founded the Escorts, playing gigs around town and settling into the roles they would inhabit as their fame grew: Originally taking lead vocals, Duane urged his brother to step into that role while he handled guitar duties on the selection of cover songs they played. Gregg was still in high school, but the Escorts became a serious band, performing and practicing as much as possible.
From the Escorts grew the Allman Joys, and after Gregg’s high school graduation, the brothers were able to take their act on the road. By 1965, they were touring around the region and making recordings, and Allman developed a taste for songwriting, composing on the Hammond organ that he would become well-known for playing.
Crucial to their musical careers, the brothers understood, was staying as far away from the Vietnam War as they could get. As young adults fresh out of high school at a time when the U.S. was increasing its military presence in Vietnam, they would have been prime draft material. Duane had an automatic deferment because he was the family’s oldest son and their father had died when they were very young. But Gregg would likely be drafted.
Duane had a simple plan for Gregg to opt out of Vietnam: He should shoot himself in the foot. Gregg wasn’t as sure that the scheme was simple, but he eventually went with it. He studied the anatomy of the foot, choosing a spot between two bones that wouldn’t damage him too badly. Then he drew a target and shot. He was successful – he never went to Vietnam. Instead, he was able to continue practicing and touring with his brother.
As the Allman Joys gained a following around the Southeast, the brothers saw that they had a real shot to make it, and a brief relocation to California ensued. They signed with Liberty Records and recorded a pair of albums as Hour Glass, a move that would soon prove to be disastrous. The brothers hated the music they recorded for Liberty and chafed under the label’s constraints, and soon they cut and ran, leaving behind a debt to Liberty that Gregg Allman settled by agreeing to record a solo album for them.
Back in the Southeast, the brothers joined up with a new band, the 31st of February, alongside future Allman Brothers Band drummer Butch Trucks. “Melissa” was written in those days, though it wouldn’t become famous until years later. Written in 1967 and first recorded with the 31st of February in 1968, it was the song Duane considered his favorite of Gregg’s compositions, and Gregg called it “the first one, the first song I ever wrote and kept” in an interview with American Songwriter. Allman sold the rights to “Melissa” not long after it was first recorded, as his difficulty with Liberty Records had left him in debt, and the rights money helped him travel home from California. But “Melissa” would come back, both as a memorial tribute to Duane and as one of the brothers’ future band’s best-known songs.
In 1969, the band evolved again, becoming the Allman Brothers Band, which would survive for more than four decades, off and on, in various incarnations. But their struggle for recognition wasn’t quite over yet. Their first two albums didn’t make much of a dent, despite including songs that would become great classics, such as Allman’s compositions “Whipping Post” and “Midnight Rider.” However, the band knew that they were having great success with live audiences – it just wasn’t translating well to the studio.
They sought to capture the excitement of their live shows with their third album, 1971’s “At Fillmore East,” recorded at the New York City venue of that name. The double album comprised just seven songs – among them, Allman’s composition “Whipping Post” – and the extended jams they laid down on vinyl at that show helped bring the Allman Brothers Band concert experience to the record-buying public. The strategy proved successful: The album climbed the charts and went gold within a few months.
“At Fillmore East” not only grabbed the public’s ears in the moment; it has displayed remarkable staying power and remains one of the most popular and best-reviewed live albums in rock history. Thirty years after its release, Rolling Stone called “At Fillmore East” “the finest live rock performance ever committed to vinyl,” while the BBC concluded that, “There are many great live double albums … but the Allmans did it best.”
The band had found the key to making it big, and their star was on the rise, but tragedy struck just as the album was achieving gold status: Duane was killed in a motorcycle accident. Gregg played “Melissa” at his funeral, remembering the exalted status the song had as his big brother’s favorite. And then the band was left wondering what to do next. Duane had been the band’s “father,” they all agreed, and could they continue without him?
The answer was a resounding yes: They could and should keep playing music. It was what Duane loved and what they all loved, too. So they regrouped and continued recording “Eat a Peach,” which they had already begun with Duane’s involvement. Its title was taken from one of Duane’s quips, and it featured his favorite of Gregg’s compositions – the rights to which their manager had repurchased. Allman later wrote in his autobiography about how necessary “Eat a Peach” was for each band member: “The music brought life back to us all, and it was simultaneously realized by every one of us. We found strength, vitality, newness, reason, and belonging as we worked on finishing ‘Eat a Peach.’”
As the Allman Brothers Band toured in support of “Eat a Peach,” tragedy found the band yet again. Almost exactly a year to the day after Duane’s motorcycle accident, bassist Berry Oakley died in the same way. The band was devastated, and Allman was haunted by the horror of the two similar deaths. "It was so hard to get into anything after that second loss," he told Rolling Stone in a 1973 interview. "I even caught myself thinking that it's narrowing down, that maybe I'm next."
Yet the band persevered after Oakley’s death, too, releasing their most successful album, “Brothers and Sisters,” in 1973. It featured two of Allman’s compositions – “Wasted Words” and “Come and Go Blues” – but the majority of the songs, including breakout hit “Ramblin’ Man,” were written by guitarist Dickey Betts. That was a source of some conflict, particularly after Allman tried to present his song “Queen of Hearts” to his bandmates and they treated it dismissively.
That conflict, in part, led to Allman recording his solo album “Laid Back” that same year. He brought “Queen of Hearts” to that album, as well as “Midnight Rider” and other songs he’d written, but he also covered the music of other writers: Jackson Brown’s “These Days,” the traditional “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.” The mood of the album was different from the solid rock 'n' roll he played with the band, hitting a moodier note and adding rich instrumentation. The solo album was a success, well-reviewed and yielding hit singles.
Allman didn’t envision his solo departure as an end to the Allman Brothers Band, or to his involvement with the group. Even when Betts recorded his own solo album in 1974, the intention was for all to regroup as the Allman Brothers Band. And they did, releasing 1975’s “Win, Lose or Draw,” which included the Allman-penned title track as well as his “Nevertheless.” But the album was a bust, with weak reviews and not much commercial performance, either.
To blame, it seemed, was an ever-increasing tension among the bandmates, as well as lifestyles of excess that were legendary. Allman was frank in his autobiography, “My Cross To Bear,” about the mountains of cocaine and other drugs that went with the band wherever they traveled. He got clean in later years, but in the mid-1970s, he was anything but. The drug-fueled lifestyle was a nail in the coffin of an already crumbling band, and it was truly driven in when Allman testified against the band’s roadie, Scooter Herring, on drug charges. A gulf was opened between the bandmates, and the Allman Brothers Band broke up.
The years that came in the wake of the Allman Brothers Band were, in many ways, difficult ones for Allman. His addictions dogged him, to both drugs and alcohol. A whirlwind romance with the pop star Cher – who was herself on the rebound from her marriage to Sonny Bono – resulted in a tumultuous marriage, one that helped fuel the last days of the Allman Brothers Band. Allman moved to Los Angeles to be with his new wife, where they broke up and got back together multiple times, in the meantime recording an album together, the critically and commercially panned “Two the Hard Way.” They called it quits soon after.
The Allman Brothers Band would re-form with a varying cast of characters over the years, first in 1978 and again in 1989 for a reasonably successful run of 25 years, off and on. But the music Allman was known best for in later years was not as much the band’s as it was his solo work, particularly the surprise 1987 hit “I’m No Angel.” Recorded with his Gregg Allman Band, the song, though not written by Allman but by Phil Palmer and Tony Cotton, was seen as a semiautobiographical recount of his years of wild living. It rocked, too, and 1980s audiences loved it, sending it to No. 1 on the Album Rock chart.
Though he had found new musical success in 1987, Allman’s life was still in turmoil, with addiction fueling it. It wouldn’t be until 1996 that he would make a final, successful attempt at cleaning up. The catalyst was an occasion that should have been a happy one for Allman and his Allman Brothers Band cohorts: the band’s 1995 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yet as Allman told it in a later interview with Garden and Gun, he was so drunk for the ceremony that presenter Willie Nelson had to help him onstage, asking, “Damn, Gregory, you all right?” “I wasn’t all right; those were the bad-boy days,” he told the magazine. “And I don’t miss them one bit.”
Allman got straight, though, and he continued playing, often with the Allman Brothers Band as well as with his own Gregg Allman Band. The latter-day music of the Allman Brothers Band was well-received, finding new harmony after a series of midcareer album releases bombed. The tension wasn’t gone for good, and it led to a permanent break between Allman and longtime member Betts, who was asked to leave the band in 2000. But the music was good, and the band reached a new generation of fans as they toured throughout the 1990s and 2000s.
A 2007 diagnosis of hepatitis C – most likely due to a dirty tattoo needle, Allman believed – presented a major health setback as he underwent a liver transplant and a hard struggle back to health afterward. More health problems came up in the next decade, among them atrial fibrillation, which led Allman to pursue an even healthier lifestyle. Yet in 2017, he canceled a number of tour dates as his health continued to decline.
In 2012, the Allman Brothers Band was honored with a Grammy Award for lifetime achievement. The band had also received two competitive Grammys and a handful of nominations, though none of them came while the band was in its first incarnation – the earliest was in 1980 when the band was nominated for their instrumental “Pegasus.” Allman received solo Grammy nominations as well, and he was honored further in 2014 when he received the Living Legend Award from Classic Rock magazine.
Allman was married seven times and divorced six. He is survived by his wife, Shannon, as well as his five children, Michael Sean, Devon, Elijah Blue, Delilah Island, and Layla Brooklyn.

To Shannon and the Allman family and friends - please accept my sincere and heartfelt condolences. For someone I never met, I sure felt like I knew Gregg from his soulful music and the fantastic performances I’ve attended. Gregg and the ABB have always had a strong and loyal following in southern New England - especially from Providence to Boston. I was fortunate to have seen Gregg play at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel, the Springfield (MA) Civic Ctr. and at Great Woods (Comcast Ctr.). The shows were always great and a lot of fun. I feel Gregg had the best blues voice of anyone during my lifetime - hands down. So thank you Gregg and the Brothers for a lifetime of great music and sweet memories. If I‘m fortunate enough to hear Gregg’s voice when my time comes - I’ll know for sure I’m in the right place. GOD speed Gregg Allman.
- Gary Hill, Providence, RI
I love your music, So many memories dancing to it!!! RIP my prayers to your family and friends.

I remember the Allman Brothers Band playing at the high school, Lanier High, fraternity dances in 1969-1971. We couldn't believe how great you were and being from podunk Macon we thought no one outside of town would ever hear your music. How wrong we were. With Gregg's passing a part of our youth goes with him. The Allman Brothers will always be my #1 favorite. You will be missed! HH

I saw the Allman Brothers Band at Watkins Glen, New York back in 1973 along with about 700,000 other fans. It was my first rock concert. I saw Gregg Allman next in 2015 at the Johnny Mercer Theater in Savannah, Georgia. It was my last rock concert. My memories are entwined with his music, and his passing is a great loss.

To Shannon, Gregg's children and family: I used to see Gregg a lot in the airport--we were on the same flights many times. I always talked to him and he was always very kind and took time to talk with me. He loved to talk about his music. I saw him in concert at the last concert in Savannah and he was phenomenal!!! I saw him about 3 weeks after that and we talked about the concert. He was an amazing man and will be with you forever. Thank you for sharing him with all of us. He brought so much joy and happiness to so many of us. God Bless---Pam

Words cannot express the sorrow in my heart at the loss of Gregg Allman. I was introduced to the Allman Brothers Band my freshman year of college at Georgia Southern and I have been an ardent fan ever since. I was fortunate enough to have met him at the National Championship game at Georgia Sourhern in 1989 where he sang Statesboro Blues during halftime. His and ABB music are part of the very fabric of my life and it feels like I have lost a family member. To his family, friends and fans, I pray that you all find comfort in knowing that Gregg and his music transformed the lives of so many people. As he was inspired by those before him, so too are those of another generation inspired by him and they will carry forward his legacy that will in turn inspire other generations. Gregg Allman's soul will shine on forever as he has left his imprint on each and every one of ours. Rest In Peace Gregg Allman!

I discovered ABB in 1972 when I was with the US Army. I made an 8 track of every song I could find and it was all I ever Played. I'm sure that I spread the magic to other soldiers as well because they loved that tape. Thank You to all of the ABB, for your years of Musical and Soulful Magic. You will be sorely missed and you music will play for lifetimes. My condolences to the Allman Family and all of his friends. Rest In Peace.

Gregg and the Brothers have been a constant in my life, since my college days and later life in Georgia. Eight tracks, albums, cassettes, CD's, MP3's, concerts, festivals and even a week on the road as their guest add up to countless hours and special memories over the years. Although Gregg's physical presence has left, he will always be there with his music and the never forgotten thoughts of all the time we shared in one form or another. Thank you Gregg Allman.....God rest your soul.

Prayers and thanksgiving for the life of Gregg Allman. Praying that God will comfort all the family, friends and fans as we accept this deep loss. Gregg and the brothers influenced all I did with my guitar and music since 1970 when I was in 8th grade and first heard their music. Like many I cannot say one song was my favorite since they all were. But maybe for today lets take a listen to "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" off Gregg's solo album. The universe is listening and caring. Peace, love and understanding to all on this sad occasion of his funeral. Rest in peace Gregg. All my love, Rick Price
- Rick Price, Jacksonville , Fl

It has been a pleasure to have shared in the ABB life from darn near the start. When I met my husband 40 years ago he turned me on to this "Southern Rock" music, The Allman Brothers Band, and I have been in love with it ever since. We named our daughter "Melissa"! We have seen the ABB many times through the years and it was such a blessing. I will never forget the sound of that Voice and the B3. We are local musicians and to this day cover a few ABB songs and will continue to do so....Our heart goes out to the family and close friends, and also to the millions of fans who admired and loved him. Remembrance to all who have passed before. You will always be a part of us. I believe when you touch someone's soul they live within you, you carry a small part of them always. Greg Allman, you will live within all of us until we all meet again. Blessings to all who have been touched by this man and his brothers & sisters....the road goes on forever........

Gregory touched my life a few times during my career as a DJ in the Sarasota area, but his music was the main staple of my musical diet throughout my entire life; so much so that my 4 year old grandaughter is an Allman Brothers fan. His talent was immeasurable and we were all blessed that he decided to share that talent with us. There are no words that could begin to describe my heartfelt condolences. My heart, love and prayers for peace are with you.

- Cindy blevins gardner, Fayetteville , Tn
Allman family, Gregory was a pivotal part of my life as a person who loves music, a guitar player, and most of all, a singer. I wish I had gotten to know him personally, and I know I am just a fan, but his music really inspired me to pursue my own musical passion. His voice is why I picked up singing again after so many years of thinking I was "just a guitar player." Gregory's life had such an impact on so many, and you all are very generous and I am so thankful that you shared his love with us. I know that it was not easy for him being away from you while he was on the road, recording, and doing all of the crazy things that come with being a traveling musician. So thank you, Allman family. Gregory inspired me in the good times and the bad times, and his beautiful music always kept me grounded. The beauty of music is that his spirit will live on through so many playing it and paying tribute to him. The radio DJs may stop thinking about Gregory, but I won't. In my 22 years on this earth, his music has always been a part of my life, and I will be sure that it will not die out. I am auditioning for The Voice on Sunday, June 4. I plan to take the influence Gregory has had on my life, and apply what I've learned from him in order to make it. And I will be taking his musical message and songs with me, ensuring that his music lives on. He was an exceptional human being and someone who loved so many without judgement. I am sorry for your loss, Allman family, and th k you do sharing Gregory with the world so that he could make the world a little bit brighter. Much love, Cody Tyler
- Cody Tyler Youse, Reading, PA

Gregg, may you Rest In Peace throughout eternity. You will not be forgotten. ???????you are an angel now?.
- Mary Ann Pandiscia, Newton, NJ,
First, condolences to Gregg's wife, children, grandchildren and the whole Allman family, I can't imagine what a loss this is for all of you and what an empty space there will be for you to try to fill. He and the Allman brothers have given me so much pleasure, the music was so rich and entertaining. My son and I would always come away from a show being so impressed with all the music they all seemed to pack into a few hours . I know Gregg's suffering is now over and that he is in a better place and I'm glad for that but he really is leaving such a void,I'd never been to a bad show and what impressed me even more, if that's possible was the man he was, I was fortunate enough to have spoken with him a few times and I was struck with his generosity of time, his humility and his great laugh, I hope I see you in the next life....
- Ann McCaskey, Pittsburgh, Pa.

Thank you for sharing your music with us. We played it to celebrate when we were happy and played it to lift our spirits when we were down. The last 10 years of my life have been on an Allman Brothers/Gregg Allman Clock. I was always waiting and watching for tickets to the next show. On a tough day I would think it's okay, I'll be at the concert in some amount of time. I will miss those live shows and traveling around to see you. I am glad that you are no longer in pain. Your music will continue to be a soundtrack to my life. Prayers and blessings to your family at this difficult time. The world has lost a legend.

I was ten years old when "I'm No Angel" came out and loved that song, but my true introduction to Gregg Allman came in the 1990's when I was in college. My friends and I loved the Allman Brothers and their music became part of the soundtrack to our lives. I have many happy memories that have Gregg Allman attached to them. I read his autobiography several years ago and became even more of a fan. I never met Gregg even though we lived in the same city, but I was excited about his upcoming concert at the Lucas and am sad that I will never get to see him play. I'd just like to say that even though I did not know him personally, I will miss him. My love and prayers go out to his family and friends. God be with you all at this sad time. And, Gregg, if you can see this, thank you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent with the world.
- Bridget Smith, Savannah, GA

To Shannon and the Allman family and friends - please accept my sincere and heartfelt condolences. For someone I never met, I sure felt like I knew Gregg from his soulful music and the fantastic performances I’ve attended. Gregg and the ABB have always had a strong and loyal following in southern New England - especially from Providence to Boston. I was fortunate to have seen Gregg play at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel, the Springfield (MA) Civic Ctr. and at Great Woods (Comcast Ctr.). The shows were always great and a lot of fun. I feel Gregg had the best blues voice of anyone during my lifetime - hands down. So thank you Gregg and the Brothers for a lifetime of great music and sweet memories. If I‘m fortunate enough to hear Gregg’s voice when my time comes - I’ll know for sure I’m in the right place. GOD speed Gregg Allman.
- Gary Hill, Providence, RI
I love your music, So many memories dancing to it!!! RIP my prayers to your family and friends.
- Diane Robbins, Savannah, Ga
I remember the Allman Brothers Band playing at the high school, Lanier High, fraternity dances in 1969-1971. We couldn't believe how great you were and being from podunk Macon we thought no one outside of town would ever hear your music. How wrong we were. With Gregg's passing a part of our youth goes with him. The Allman Brothers will always be my #1 favorite. You will be missed! HH

Rest in peace with your brother in heaven until we meet again Gregg
- Cindy , Atlanta, GA
I saw the Allman Brothers Band at Watkins Glen, New York back in 1973 along with about 700,000 other fans. It was my first rock concert. I saw Gregg Allman next in 2015 at the Johnny Mercer Theater in Savannah, Georgia. It was my last rock concert. My memories are entwined with his music, and his passing is a great loss.
- Penny Rowland, Savannah, GA

To Shannon, Gregg's children and family: I used to see Gregg a lot in the airport--we were on the same flights many times. I always talked to him and he was always very kind and took time to talk with me. He loved to talk about his music. I saw him in concert at the last concert in Savannah and he was phenomenal!!! I saw him about 3 weeks after that and we talked about the concert. He was an amazing man and will be with you forever. Thank you for sharing him with all of us. He brought so much joy and happiness to so many of us. God Bless---Pam

Words cannot express the sorrow in my heart at the loss of Gregg Allman. I was introduced to the Allman Brothers Band my freshman year of college at Georgia Southern and I have been an ardent fan ever since. I was fortunate enough to have met him at the National Championship game at Georgia Sourhern in 1989 where he sang Statesboro Blues during halftime. His and ABB music are part of the very fabric of my life and it feels like I have lost a family member. To his family, friends and fans, I pray that you all find comfort in knowing that Gregg and his music transformed the lives of so many people. As he was inspired by those before him, so too are those of another generation inspired by him and they will carry forward his legacy that will in turn inspire other generations. Gregg Allman's soul will shine on forever as he has left his imprint on each and every one of ours. Rest In Peace Gregg Allman!

I discovered ABB in 1972 when I was with the US Army. I made an 8 track of every song I could find and it was all I ever Played. I'm sure that I spread the magic to other soldiers as well because they loved that tape. Thank You to all of the ABB, for your years of Musical and Soulful Magic. You will be sorely missed and you music will play for lifetimes. My condolences to the Allman Family and all of his friends. Rest In Peace.

Gregg and the Brothers have been a constant in my life, since my college days and later life in Georgia. Eight tracks, albums, cassettes, CD's, MP3's, concerts, festivals and even a week on the road as their guest add up to countless hours and special memories over the years. Although Gregg's physical presence has left, he will always be there with his music and the never forgotten thoughts of all the time we shared in one form or another. Thank you Gregg Allman.....God rest your soul.

There will never be another song but I hope he'll sing to the angels that will be surrounding him nd his brother!! May God Bless You!!!

Prayers and thanksgiving for the life of Gregg Allman. Praying that God will comfort all the family, friends and fans as we accept this deep loss. Gregg and the brothers influenced all I did with my guitar and music since 1970 when I was in 8th grade and first heard their music. Like many I cannot say one song was my favorite since they all were. But maybe for today lets take a listen to "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" off Gregg's solo album. The universe is listening and caring. Peace, love and understanding to all on this sad occasion of his funeral. Rest in peace Gregg. All my love, Rick Price

- ANNA Banning, Hilversum/the Netherlands,
It has been a pleasure to have shared in the ABB life from darn near the start. When I met my husband 40 years ago he turned me on to this "Southern Rock" music, The Allman Brothers Band, and I have been in love with it ever since. We named our daughter "Melissa"! We have seen the ABB many times through the years and it was such a blessing. I will never forget the sound of that Voice and the B3. We are local musicians and to this day cover a few ABB songs and will continue to do so....Our heart goes out to the family and close friends, and also to the millions of fans who admired and loved him. Remembrance to all who have passed before. You will always be a part of us. I believe when you touch someone's soul they live within you, you carry a small part of them always. Greg Allman, you will live within all of us until we all meet again. Blessings to all who have been touched by this man and his brothers & sisters....the road goes on forever........

Gregory touched my life a few times during my career as a DJ in the Sarasota area, but his music was the main staple of my musical diet throughout my entire life; so much so that my 4 year old grandaughter is an Allman Brothers fan.

My heart, love and prayers for peace are with you.

Allman family, Gregory was a pivotal part of my life as a person who loves music, a guitar player, and most of all, a singer. I wish I had gotten to know him personally, and I know I am just a fan, but his music really inspired me to pursue my own musical passion. His voice is why I picked up singing again after so many years of thinking I was "just a guitar player." Gregory's life had such an impact on so many, and you all are very generous and I am so thankful that you shared his love with us. I know that it was not easy for him being away from you while he was on the road, recording, and doing all of the crazy things that come with being a traveling musician. So thank you, Allman family. Gregory inspired me in the good times and the bad times, and his beautiful music always kept me grounded. The beauty of music is that his spirit will live on through so many playing it and paying tribute to him. The radio DJs may stop thinking about Gregory, but I won't. In my 22 years on this earth, his music has always been a part of my life, and I will be sure that it will not die out. I am auditioning for The Voice on Sunday, June 4. I plan to take the influence Gregory has had on my life, and apply what I've learned from him in order to make it. And I will be taking his musical message and songs with me, ensuring that his music lives on. He was an exceptional human being and someone who loved so many without judgement. I am sorry for your loss, Allman family, and th k you do sharing Gregory with the world so that he could make the world a little bit brighter. Much love, Cody Tyler
- Cody Tyler Youse, Reading, PA

Gregg, may you Rest In Peace throughout eternity. You will not be forgotten. ???????you are an angel now?.
- Mary Ann Pandiscia, Newton, NJ,
First, condolences to Gregg's wife, children, grandchildren and the whole Allman family, I can't imagine what a loss this is for all of you and what an empty space there will be for you to try to fill. He and the Allman brothers have given me so much pleasure, the music was so rich and entertaining. My son and I would always come away from a show being so impressed with all the music they all seemed to pack into a few hours . I know Gregg's suffering is now over and that he is in a better place and I'm glad for that but he really is leaving such a void,I'd never been to a bad show and what impressed me even more, if that's possible was the man he was, I was fortunate enough to have spoken with him a few times and I was struck with his generosity of time, his humility and his great laugh, I hope I see you in the next life....
- Ann McCaskey, Pittsburgh, Pa.
There's truly no words I can share, all I can say is I am overwhelmed with sorrow & tears. I wish you all peace & connectedness ?

It seems unreal to accept the fact Greg is no longer with us. I remember when they came to and lived in Macon, and was lucky enough to know them. I, with many other of my friends and Maconites got hooked on their music and I am still!! There music brings back many memories.RIP Greg....Introduce the Angels to Great southern rock music, you are the best!!!

Thank you for sharing your music with us. We played it to celebrate when we were happy and played it to lift our spirits when we were down. The last 10 years of my life have been on an Allman Brothers/Gregg Allman Clock. I was always waiting and watching for tickets to the next show. On a tough day I would think it's okay, I'll be at the concert in some amount of time. I will miss those live shows and traveling around to see you. I am glad that you are no longer in pain. Your music will continue to be a soundtrack to my life. Prayers and blessings to your family at this difficult time. The world has lost a legend.

I was ten years old when "I'm No Angel" came out and loved that song, but my true introduction to Gregg Allman came in the 1990's when I was in college. My friends and I loved the Allman Brothers and their music became part of the soundtrack to our lives. I have many happy memories that have Gregg Allman attached to them. I read his autobiography several years ago and became even more of a fan. I never met Gregg even though we lived in the same city, but I was excited about his upcoming concert at the Lucas and am sad that I will never get to see him play. I'd just like to say that even though I did not know him personally, I will miss him. My love and prayers go out to his family and friends. God be with you all at this sad time. And, Gregg, if you can see this, thank you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent with the world.
