ARS was paired with contemporaries Lynyrd Skynyrd as the successors to the Allman Brothers, carrying the mantle of Southern Rock in the late 1970s. Performing songs that are more musically diverse and having hits that had more of a pop sound, many of their musical accomplishments never really fit into the Southern Rock genre tag. The group has enjoyed a fervent following, especially in the South. In the 1970s they charted a consistent string of hits: “Doraville,” “I’m Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight,” “Champagne Jam,” “So Into You,” “Imaginary Lover,” and many more. The band also influenced a number of rock and country artists, notably Travis Tritt, who covered the ARS songs “Back Up Against the Wall” and “Homesick.”
