JEFFREY BROWN: From the bench behind his Hammond B-3 organ, Gregg Allman has been belting out the rock 'n roll blues for more than 40 years.
The band he co-founded with his late brother Duane Allman, the Allman Brothers, is one of the most renowned in rock history, famed for its hard-driving live performances and hits like "Ramblin' Man," and "Melissa."
Beginning in the late '60s, the band grabbed audiences with a sound that brought together the Southern blues and electrified rock 'n roll that Gregg and Duane Allman had embraced.
