Allman Brothers Band - Soulshine

"I'm feeling very sad about the news of Gregg Allman's passing. He will truly be missed. Now he lives on through 50 years of great music that by the grace of God, we will all continue to enjoy for a lifetime of generations. "Soulshine" by the Allman Brothers Band was part of my morning meditation for years. Thank you Gregg for helping me have my Soulshine." RIR- Radio Host & Co-Founder, John Hollis.

The family suggests that tributes to Gregg can be made to the Gregg Allman Scholarship Fund at The University of Georgia or the Allman/Lehman Endowed Scholarship at Syracuse University.
