Ed King passed from cancer https://www.rollingstone.com/music/m...-at-68-714847/
King was a member of Strawberry Alarm Clock and co-wrote Incense and Peppermints. He joined Skynyrd in 1972 and wrote or co-wrote several more legendary songs for them including Sweet Home Alabama.
He left the group a couple years ahead of the plane crash that killed many of the members but not the spirit of Lynyrd Skynyrd and rejoined until congestive heart failure forced him to retire in 1996.
King was part of the massive three guitar attack sound that would come to define harder Southern Rock. His replacement when he first left was Steve Gaines, another true guitar legend who was beginning to make himself known when he died in the crash. at 68.
