Description
Street Survivors was going to be the album that would make Lynyrd Skynyrd even bigger stars. They had already dented the mainstream, reaching the Top 10 with “Sweet Home Alabama” in 1974, and picking up a sizable following of Southern rock fans since releasing their 1973 debut. But Street Survivors, released on Oct. 17, 1977, was supposed to catapult them into a whole other realm of rockstar popularity.
The year before, they added a guitarist, Steve Gaines, who also sang and wrote. They sharpened their pop hooks, becoming a more soulful group as a result. And they tinkered with the album to the point where they scrapped the original recordings and returned to a Georgia studio with producer Tom Dowd to tweak all of the songs.
But three days after their fifth album was released on Oct. 17, 1977, the band’s plane went down, killing singer Ronnie Van Zant, Gaines and Gaines’ backup-singer sister Cassie, as well as a crew member and the two pilots. And Lynyrd Skynyrd’s legacy was sealed.
Street Survivors eventually hit No. 5 — their highest-charting album. Its lead single, “What’s Your Name,” reached No. 13, their second-highest charting song. Gaines co-wrote and shared vocals with Van Zant on another single, “You Got That Right,” and contributed the Southern boogie “I Know a Little.”

Street Survivors is the fifth studio album by Southern rock band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, released on October 17, 1977. The LP is the last Skynyrd album recorded by original members Ronnie Van Zant and Allen Collins, and is the sole Skynyrd studio recording by guitarist Steve Gaines. Three days after the album's release, the band's chartered airplane crashed en route to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, killing the pilot, co-pilot, the group's assistant road-manager and three band members (Van Zant, Gaines, and Gaines' older sister, backup singer Cassie Gaines), and severely injuring most who survived the crash. The album performed well on the charts, peaking at #5 (their first top 5 album), as did the singles "What's Your Name" and "That Smell", the former a top 20 hit on the singles chart.The album was an instant success, achieving gold certification just ten days after its release. It would later go double platinum.
