I had the privilege of being close to Gary Rossington & his wife Dale. I made & designed 2 Freebird jackets for Gary. Plus I became a part of their family & the 2 girls. It was surreal but the adventures we had through the years. I was in Boise Idaho at their concert with Doobie Brothers. I had brought Gary's daughters over from their ranch in Jackson Hole so they could see their mom & dad. Of course the boys were playing cards one night & they wanted me to come play with them. I sat down at the table & realized I was the only female! Ha! I sat next to Billy Powell & felt extremely uncomfortable because he just stared at me. & never looked away. I asked him what he was doing & he said, " I've never seen a woman as beautiful as you..." I was shocked & looking back now...what a kind thing to say & with no agenda just authentic respect. ❤miss you & love you Billy❤❤❤❤

Why cut off the video just before they play freebird?

And why cut the piano intro off of most Freebird videos. It’s a whole piece meant to be heard in its entirety.

Billy Powell was the greatest rock piano player ever. His solos and backing on songs like The Breeze, Sweet Home, and I know A Little, cemented his place in rock and roll history. RIP Billy.

Somebody needs to recreate the scene from that 1972 prom when a Skynyrd roadie sat down at a piano he saw in the room and launched into his version of "Free Bird". It freaked them out that he had been with them for two years and they never knew what he could do on with a piano. Enter Billy Powell.

It is a Kurzweil piano, but I am not really sure about the model. In 1999, both PC88 and SP88 were pretty popular, but maybe it can be found out in some other clips of the same LS era!

A friend invited me to go see this obscure band in a hole in the wall bar on the darkest side of Jacksonville. The side of town that has a MLK Jr. Blvd. When we walked in the door he pointed at the keyboardist and said “That’s the keyboardist from Lynyrd Skynyrd”. I was like whaaaa. Billy Powell was hanging with the commoners.

Actually of all the people hurt he was the least hurt, imagine if it took him a year to recover, what other guys were like. He was the only 1 able to attend all the funerals. They all had lasting effects, Leon's left arm had severe damage, if you notice when they got back together, he had to hold bass almost upright if that makes sense. So sad, they are dying which means I am getting older too. How come I stil feel 20 inside, it sucks

Johnny was singing lead and He also has a country career going with brother Donnie at the time. And this isn't as improvised as people think . Watch every video and he plays the solo almost the same way.

Watching this makes me sad in a way. Seeing Billy Powell tear up those keyboards you see what we lost. I was lucky to see Skynyrd twice. The last time was in Lincoln, Nebraska in'98. We sat at the side of the stage. At first I was disappointed. But we were on the side with Billy Powell!! A show within a show!! The man was an underrated pianist and Skynyrd isn't the same without him. The other originals were crucial, Ronnie Van Zant,, obviously. But Billy Powell was a big part of their sound. RIP!!!
