Street Survivors, Lynyrd Skynyrd's fifth studio album, hit the racks on MCA on October 17, 1977: a fired-up band with new guitarist Steve Gaines trading licks with Allen Collins and Gary Rossington, Billy Powell's keys rolling underneath, Ronnie Van Zant drawling on top, and Tom Dowd producing with a clean, punchy hand. "What's Your Name" and "You Got That Right" have the boogie strut down cold.
Three days later the band's chartered plane crashed on the way to Baton Rouge, killing Van Zant, Gaines and his older sister Cassie, one of the backup singers, along with the pilot, co-pilot and assistant road manager. The record became an epitaph, the last Skynyrd album Van Zant and Collins made. It was gold within 10 days, climbed to number five, the band's best showing, and later went double platinum.
