Dickey Betts, Allman Brothers Band co-founder and guitarist, dies aged 80

Rock & Roll Hall of Famer who wrote the band’s biggest hit, Ramblin’ Man, dies at home in Florida ‘surrounded by his whole family’

www.theguardian.com

the other guitarist in what is probably my favourite band of all time - The Allman Brothers Band. Often considered and ranked the greatest live band of all time. He wrote Blue Sky, which would be the first track on my Desert Island Disc, and Jessica, better known as the theme tune of Top Gear.

A bit like Duane Allman was the other guitarist in Derek and the Dominoes.
they were both individually brilliant and worked superbly together as well.
