CAREER

After playing on other Artists' Recordings , they decided to become a true band in their own right. The members of the original band were Rodney Justo ( Singer ), Barry Bailey ( Guitarist ), Paul Goddard ( Bassist ), Dean Daughtry ( Keyboardist ) and Robert Nix( Drummer ). Justo left the band after the first Album and was replaced by Ronnie Hammond. Buddy Buie , the band's Manager and Producer , is listed first on almost all of their Songwriting credits of the band's Song s. Noted Christian Music artist Mylon LeFevre appeared on the "Jesus Hearted People", from the band's album '' Third Annual Pipe Dream ''.


CLASSIC SONGS

While ARS didn't reach the commercial success of Lynyrd Skynyrd or The Allman Brothers , the group had a strong following in the South and charted a number of major & minor Hits such as "Doraville", "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight", "Champagne Jam", "So Into You", "Imaginary Lover", "Angel", "Do It Or Die", "Neon Nites", and a Remake of a Classics IV hit, "Spooky", plus a number of fan favorites such as "Jukin'" & "Georgia Rhythm". The band also influenced a number of Rock and Country artists, notably Travis Tritt , who recorded a cover of the ARS songs, "Back Up Against the Wall" and "Homesick". The group Shudder To Think covered "So Into You".
