Album: Rust Never Sleeps
Artist: Neil Young
Selected by: Stephanie Benson
Date: October 17, 2008
As legend has it, Neil Young wrote “Powderfinger” for Lynyrd Skynyrd -- but they never got to record it. Thirty-one years ago today, lead singer Ronnie Van Zant and band members Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines died in a plane crash. Nevertheless, the last verse serves as the perfect tribute: “Would fade away so young/ With so much left undone.”
