  • 38 Special (also written .38 Special or Thirty-Eight Special) is an American rock band that was formed by neighborhood friends Don Barnes and Donnie Van Zant in 1975 in Jacksonville, Florida. By the early 1980s, 38 Special began amalgamating southern rock and arena rock in their music, thereby kicking off a string of successful albums and singles. Their first high-charting song was "Hold On Loosely" (1981); "Caught Up In You" (1982) and "If I'd Been The One" (1983) both hit #1 on Billboard magazine's Album Rock Tracks chart. "Back Where You Belong" (1984) continued the annual sequence of radio favorites, and "Second Chance" (1989), a #1 hit on Billboard's adult contemporary chart, was sung by former Specialist Max Carl. In 2007, 38 Special was the opening act on Lynyrd Skynyrd and Hank Williams Jr. 's Rowdy Frynds Tour, and on September 27, 2008, they filmed a CMT Crossroads special with country singer Trace Adkins, performing both artists' hits from over the years. In 2009, 38 Special opened for REO Speedwagon and Styx as part of the "Can't Stop Rockin' Tour. " The current lineup consists of Barnes, Van Zant, guitarist Danny Chauncey, bassist Larry Junstrom, keyboardist Bobby Capps and drummer Gary Moffatt.
  • 38 Special est un groupe de rock américain fondé en 1975 à Jacksonville en Floride. À l'origine, 38 Special était un groupe typique du genre rock sudiste, puis, dès le début des années 1980, il s'orienta vers des productions plus commerciales, aptes à remplir des stades. Leur audience commence à décliner dans la fin des années dès lors que MTV cesse de les soutenir. Donnie Van Zant (chant) frère cadet de Ronnie Van Zant, fondateur et chanteur de Lynyrd Skynyrd est présent au sein du groupe depuis ses débuts, sans interruption. Parmi les autres membres citons Don Barnes (chant et guitare; quitte le groupe entre 1987 et 1991), Ken Lyons (basse), Larry Junstrom (basse), Danny Chauncey (guitare), Jeff Carlisi (guitare), Steve Brookins (batterie) et Scott Hoffman (batterie), notamment.
