38 Special

38 Special formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1974, led by Donnie Van Zant, younger brother of Lynyrd Skynyrd's Ronnie Van Zant. The band blended Southern rock with arena rock accessibility, achieving their commercial peak in the early 1980s with albums like "Wild-Eyed Southern Boys" and "Special Forces." Their string of radio hits included "Hold On Loosely," "Caught Up in You," and "Second Chance," making them staples of album-oriented rock radio.
