He was a principal architect of Southern rock. Saturday, May 27, 2017 3:56 PM EDT Mr. Allman had “struggled with many health issues over the past several years,” according to a statement on his official website.

That's crazy! Were I have been in my life that I missed this great singer. But then again, there's just a lot of them that I didn't get to hear. Sad I only knew about him today.

My husband mentioned it this morning. He remembers all the bands and the names of the artists. Sadly, I don't. Sad news. By today's standards, 69 is young.

Such a great loss. Really put Southern Rock on the map! If you want to listen to some great stuff download the albums "At The Fillmore East" and "Eat A Peach."

This is sad news, I liked their music, been listening to it since I was a kid. I didn't realize he has been ill, I guess some of them keep that to themselves. Jessica was my favorite song by them, if you haven't heard it before, check it out.

I did see that he had passed. It seems like we are losing more and more from our time.
