38 Special is an American rock band. Formed by vocalist Donnie Van Zant in 1975 in Jacksonville, Florida, the band initially had a straight-ahead Southern rock sound, much like Lynyrd Skynyrd, the band of his older brother Ronnie.
By the early 1980s, the band began incorporating elements of blues-rock and arena rock into their sound, kicking off a string of successful albums and singles.
Among 38 Special’s best-known songs are “Caught Up in You” (1982) and “If I’d Been the One” (1983), both of which hit #1 on Billboard magazine’s album rock chart, and “Second Chance” (1989), a #1 hit on Billboard’s adult contemporary chart. Their other hit singles include “Hold On Loosely” (1981) and “Back Where You Belong” (1984).
The current lineup is comprised of vocalist Donnie Van Zant, guitarists Don Barnes and Danny Chauncey, bassist Larry Junstrom, keyboardist Bobby Capps, and drummer Gary Moffatt.
Recently both Donnie Van Zant and little brother Johnnie (front man of Lynyrd Skynyrd Band) have joined forces as Van Zant and have released an album with another in the works.
