Way too young. Talented guitar player. He played all the bass on the first Skynyrd album too. RIP.
He played bass on most of Second helping too. Great interview here.

Darn. The creative force of their early albums.
Sometimes, I'm happy that I was neither ever a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd nor of the Ramones. Bad karma.
There is only karma... rip Ed... :sad:
The Showtime documentary has been out for a while and I'm sure Ed King got a chance to see it. He must have been pleased. He is portrayed in quite a favorable light. I just now saw it. It's really good. It isn't exhaustive, but still provides a lot of background and insight.

Or Badfinger
I saw this, very sad, I'm a big Skynyrd fan and I love Ed's work on Pronounced. Did anyone ever visit his forum? Very interesting insight into life inside Skynyrd
