Gregg Allman

In November 1987, Gregg Allman showcased his solo work on the 'Late Show with David Letterman,' performing 'I'm No Angel,' a standout from his 1987 album of the same name. This album marked a significant moment in Allman's career, as it transitioned him into a more modern rock sound while still honoring his Southern roots. Before this live appearance, he had faced various personal and professional challenges, including battling addiction and the pressures of fame, which only deepened the emotional weight of his performances. Interestingly, during this Letterman show, a minor flub from guitarist Sid McGinnis became a memorable moment in the set, reflecting the unpredictability and charm of live music. Allman's enduring legacy is reflected in how he blends rock, blues, and soul, making even a televised performance instantly engaging.
