In the mid 1960s, three young men met. Ronnie Van Zant, Allan Collins, and Gary Rossington were high school friends, and they decided to form a band. They started a band called My Backyard, and then they recruited bass player Leon Wilkeson and a keyboard player named Billy Powell. They changed their name to Lynyrd Skynyrd as a jibe to their high school coach (Leonard Skinner), who regularly hassled them because of their long hair. Having picked up drummer Bob Burns, they started playing all over the South. They were signed by MCA after Al Kooper caught their show at an Atlanta club, Funocchio's, in 1972.
