"I don't think that God wants me to quit."

Many more who knew Rossington well for 20, 30 or even 50 years took to social media to recognize the guitarist and songwriter's influence.

Though he was never a member of the group, the Marshall Tucker Band would have looked a whole lot different if they'd never run into this man.

"That circle will never be broken."

Two legends join forces.

They've also got some other very special guests!

"I just can't imagine it being the end."

The lineup for the 2016 Christmas 4 Kids charity concert has been announced.

The Marshall Tucker Band will relive one of their most memorable performances as a live album. 'Live From Englishtown,' a recording of their 1977 Englishtown, N.J., concert that drew more than 150,000 fans, will be released in October on the band's own Ramblin' Records.

The Marshall Tucker Band is as old as the CMA Music Festival. Both were born in 1972, and both have have experienced changes in recent years. Fans at this year's Kick-Off Concert at the Chevrolet Riverfront Stage will find out that both have the same infectious energy today that they did 40 years ago. Maybe even more.

Today's KLAW Classic comes from the Number One list 30 years ago today.  And, had Ricky Skaggs not hit the charts with song, it could have been another #1 for George Strait.
