| | Artimus Pyle - Classic Skynyrd Drummer |
 | | At the end of 1974, when founding member Bob Burns parted from Skynyrd, it was Pyle who was called in to fill his shoes. |
 | | He toured with the band, recording a number of albums, up till 1977, when a plane crash instantly snuffed out the lives of three members, Ronnie VanZant, Steve Gaines, and his sister Cassie. |
 | | He sincerely carries the torch in loving memory of his dear friends, Ronnie Van Zant, Allen Collins, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines, and Leon Wilkeson to help their spirits and songs they performed together, live on forever. |
