Portrait of Dickey Betts

who dickey betts is

Forrest Richard "Dickey" Betts was an American rock guitarist and vocalist, best known as a longtime member of the Allman Brothers Band. A co-founder with Duane Allman of the band in 1969, he was central both to the group's rise to critical acclaim in 1971 and its greatest commercial success in the mid-1970s, and was the writer and vocalist on the Allmans' hit single "Ramblin' Man". The Allman Brothers Band broke up and re-formed twice, always with Betts in the lineup, until he was forced out of the group in 2000.
