Roger that...I learned that a few years ago. Ed King was a great talent and songwriter. RIP.

Strawberry Alarm Clock had actually toured with Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Lynyrd Skynyrd was their opening band on tour.

In 1970 the band appeared in the Russ Meyer cult classic film Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. By this time the band's popularity had waned considerably, but the band continued on for some time, touring the South in 1970 and 1971 with a then-unknown Florida band called Lynyrd Skynyrd opening for them.

I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd as the opening band for The Who on their Quadrophenia tour in 1973. We almost didn't want The Who to come on after them. Went out to the record store the next day to buy Lynyrd Skynyrd. They said who? They were a pretty solid record store too I might add. I told them to research and let me know when they get their album in. 8>)

'Saw them (Strawberry Alarm Clock) perform at a record store opening in '67 ... didn't know one of the band (King) became so key to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Interesting guy.
