The band became prominent in the Southern United States in 1973, and rose to worldwide recognition.

Lynyrd Skynyrd continues to tour and record. Of its original members, only Gary Rossington remains with the band as of 2011. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 13, 2006.
