Jeremy Clarkson pays tribute to Dickey Betts, whose song Jessica served as the Top Gear theme

Jeremy Clarkson has paid tribute to guitar legend and co-founder of the Allman Brothers, Dickey Betts, who died on Thursday (18 April).

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, who wrote the band’s biggest hit “Ramblin’ Man”, was known in the UK for another popular tune: the song used as the Top Gear theme.

Although Clarkson has a personal and professional connection to “Jessica”, he revealed that it isn’t his favourite song of the band.
