I was never all that much of a LS fan. I could be wrong on some of this. But from what I remember Ed had a lot to do with writing "Sweet Home Alabama." That was a plus. But the minus part is that, evidently, they put him on bass for a while. That didn't work out at all. Leon Wilkeson was brought back in. The last thing I read about Ed King is that he was living in Nashville. My knowledge is incomplete, though. I know there was some kind of problem with Ed wanting to rejoin, but they wouldn't let him. I don't know what that was about. Maybe the band had too many guitarists? This is coming from someone who has a preference listening to 3-piece bands, though.
