Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts died Thursday morning after a battle with cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

“The legendary performer, songwriter, bandleader and family patriarch was at his home in Osprey, Florida, surrounded by his family,” his family said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “Dickey was larger than life, and his loss will be felt worldwide. At this difficult time, the family asks for prayers and respect for their privacy in the coming days.”

Betts was never a household name, but rock aficionados were aware of his massive contributions to the Allman Brothers song catalog. Not only did he write and sing their 1973 classic “Ramblin’ Man,” which was their only song to ever hit the Top Ten of the Billboard Hot 100, but he also penned “Blue Sky,” “Jessica,” and many other beloved tunes. As a guitarist, he melded seamlessly with Duane Allman on their early work, and eventually with latter-day members Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks.

The band parted ways with Betts in 2000 after years of backstage turbulence. They initially claimed it was a temporary situation brought on by his heavy drinking. “He would say, ‘I need to go get myself straight,’ and that’s what he would do,” Allman Brothers Band drummer Jaimoe told Rolling Stone in 2017. “This time he didn’t do it. He didn’t get fired. He quit.”
