Lynyrd Skynyrd's song "Simple Man" was inspired by the passing of lead singer Ronnie Van Zant's grandmother. The song took on a whole new meaning when Ronnie, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines, and their assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick lost their lives in a plane crash, which took place 46 years ago today. We honor their memories with Drayton Farley's cover of "Simple Man." | Country Music Nation
