Crosby’s wife said “his legacy will continue to live on through his legendary music.”
David Crosby co-founded two rock groups that trailblazed their way through the 1960s.
The Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young both blended the sounds of country, folk and rock, along with political consciousness and harmonious vocals. During his life, Crosby made headlines for fathering two children with singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge. Troubled relations with bandmates pushed Crosby out of The Byrds and into a new group. Crosby, Stills and Nash's first meeting is part of rock folklore: Stills and Crosby were at Joni Mitchell’s house in 1968 , working on the ballad "You Don’t Have to Cry," when Nash suggested they start over again. Nash’s high harmony added a magical layer to Stills' rough bottom and Crosby’s mellow middle and a supergroup was born.
But CSN, as they would soon be called, won a best new artist Grammy and remained a worldwide touring act and brand name decades later. They worked in every combination possible — as solo artists, as duos, trios and, occasionally, all four together. They played stadiums and clubs. Theyas the Cold War was ending and turned up in 2011 for the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York.
