Gregg Allman

In November 1977, when Gregg Allman graced the stage of the 'Old Grey Whistle Test' alongside Cher, he was riding the wave of his evolving solo career. Just a year prior, he released 'Playin' Up a Storm,' an album that showcased his distinctive blend of rock and blues, and marked a significant step following his tenure with the Allman Brothers Band. This live performance of 'Love Me' is particularly noteworthy, not only because it highlights the chemistry between Allman and Cher, but also emphasizes Allman's transition as an artist. Interestingly, it was during this period that he was navigating personal challenges, including divorce and the pressures of fame, yet his artistry remained powerful and resonant. The collaboration with Cher, known for her powerhouse voice, added a captivating dynamic to the live recording, showcasing not just Allman's talents but also the rich tapestry of music during the late '70s.
