Released October 17, 1977: LYNYRD SKYNYRD Street Survivors. The fifth and last studio album by the original band. Three days after the albums release, the bands chartered airplane crashed en route to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, killing the pilot, co-pilot, the groups assistant road-manager and three band members (Van Zant, Gaines, and Gaines older sister, backup singer Cassie Gaines), and severely injuring most who survived the crash. The original sleeve was amended out of respect. Featured the hit singles Whats Your Name and That Smell. The album was an instant success, achieving gold certification just ten days after its release. It would later go double platinum. RIP Ronnie Van Zandt, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines, Allen Collins, Leon Wikeson and Billy Powell.
