1972Moartea lui Oakley Berry, 24 de ani
Raymond Berry Oakley III (04/04/1948-11/11/1972), a fost un basist american. El a fost un membru fondator al Allman Brothers Band, în 1969, împreună cu chitaristul Duane Allman , Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts pe a doua chitara, si tobosari Trucks Butch şi Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson.
La data de 11 noiembrie 1972, Oakley a fost implicat întrun accident de motocicleta în Macon , Georgia , la doar trei blocuri de unde Duane Allman a avut un accident de motocicleta mortal cu un an înainte. Oakley a spus el a fost bine după accident, a refuzat tratamentul medical, şi a plecat acasă. Trei ore mai târziu, el a fost dus de urgenta la spital, dar a murit din cauza unei fracturi de craniu.
În 1998, legislativul statului Georgia a adoptat o rezoluţie de desemnare a unui pod pe Highway 19 , în Macon, Georgia, ca "Raymond Berry Oakley III Bridge", în "onoarea şi amintirea" membrului fondator al lui Allman Brothers Band ".

The Allman Brothers Band este o formație de muzică rock încadrată în curentul numit southern rock având sediul în orașul Macon, din statul american Georgia. Formația a fost formată în Jacksonville, Florida în 1969 de către frații Duane Allman (slide guitar și lead guitar) și Gregg Allman (vocalist, organist).Formația a fost alcătuită din Duane Allman (slide guitar și chitară solo), Gregg Allman (vocalist, organist), Dickey Betts (chitară solo și chitară ritmică, vocalist), Berry Oakley (chitară bass), Butch Trucks (baterie) și Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson (baterie). Deși formația a fost caracterizată ca fiind "principalii arhitecți ai rock-ului din sud (Southern rock)", muzica formației încorporează elemente de blues-rock și hard rock, respectiv în spectacolele lor live membri formației folosesc improvizații în stilul jam band, precum și melodii pur instrumentale.
În 1971, George Kimball redactor la Rolling Stone Magazine i-a proclamat ca fiind "cea mai bună formație rock and roll" ai "ultimilor cinci ani", comform originalului, "the best damn rock and roll band" of "the past five years." The Allman Brothers Band a fost încununată cu unsprezece albume de aur (Gold) și cu cinci de platină (Platinum) între anii 1971 și 2005. Revista muzicală Rolling Stone i-a clasat pe locul al 52-lea pe lista celor mai mari 100 de artiști ai tuturor timpurilor în 2004. Formația continuă să fie activă, să înregistreze muzică și să de-a spectacole până în prezent.
