description: "Forrest Richard \"Dickey\" Betts was an American rock guitarist and vocalist, best known as a longtime member of the Allman Brothers Band. A co-founder of the band when it formed in 1969, he was central to the group's greatest commercial success in the mid-1970s, and was the writer and vocalist on the Allmans' hit single \"Ramblin' Man\". The Allman Brothers Band broke up and re-formed twice, always with Betts in the lineup, until he left the group in 2000."
