R.J. Vealey is best remembered as one of the more recent drummers for southern rock band, the Atlanta Rhythm Section.   Although the once popular band came together in the early ’70s, it wasn’t until 1995 that Vealey came on board.  Atlanta Rhythm Section were on tour promoting their recently released fourteenth album, Eufala, when Vealey, 37, died suddenly of a heart attack shortly after a performance in Orlando, Florida.
