Until now I had no idea he co-wrote Incense and Peppermints (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incense_and_Peppermints_(song)). That was one of my favorite songs of the 60s.

"If I Leave Here Tomorrow" is a recently released documentary detailing the history of Lynyrd Skynyrd. It includes interviews with Ed King and talks about his role in the band.

Wow. No idea there was that crossover. One of my favorite 60's tunes, as well.

I had no idea he was in the Alarm Clock either. The hippie of the group. He wrote Saturday Night Special too, makes sense. Even as a Connecticut Yankee I always liked Skynard.
