Who is Elijah Blues father? Meet Greg Allman

Elijah Blue’s father is Gregg Allman, a renowned American musician celebrated for his soulful vocals and bluesy guitar expertise.

Born in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1947, Allman gained prominence as a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band, shaping Southern rock with hits like “Ramblin’ Man” and “Whippin’ Post.”

Allman’s life has traversed the realms of music, matrimony, and tragedy. Co-writing and singing alongside his late brother Duane, who tragically died in a 1971 motorcycle accident, deeply impacted him.

Battling alcoholism and drug addiction, Allman faced health challenges and personal turmoil.

Despite the tumult, his musical output remained prolific. From solo albums to collaborations with artists like Cher and Delaney & Bonnie, and forming the blues-rock band “Gregg Allman Band,” he sustained his musical legacy.

Even after the disbandment of the Allman Brothers Band in 1983, he persisted in touring and recording, preserving his music for new generations.

With five marriages and five children, including Elijah Blue with Cher, Allman has earned accolades such as induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Greg passed away in 2017, at age 69.
