CROSBY, STILLS & NASH

The musical partnership of David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash (with and without Neil Young) was not only one of the most successful touring and recording acts of the late '60s, '70s, and early '80s -- with the colorful, contrasting nature of the members' characters and their connection to the political and cultural upheavals of the time -- it was the only American-based band to approach the overall societal impact of the Beatles.

The group was a second marriage for all the participants when it came together in 1968: Crosby had been a member of the Byrds, Nash was in the Hollies, and Stills had been part of Buffalo Springfield.

The first CSNY album, “Déjà Vu,” was a chart-topping hit in 1970.
