DICKEY BETTS

December 1943 to April 2024

"I've definitely lived a dangerous life," Dickey Betts once admitted, and you only had to see him to I know it. A stern gunslinger with a cowboy hat, handlebar moustache and '57 Goldtop, Betts' outlaw stage presence in The Allman Brothers Band often bled into his hairy personal life.
