Crosby, Stills & Nash (& Young)

In 1969, while Neil Young was laying the foundation for a solo career, his Buffalo Springfield partner Steven Stills was recording with former Byrd David Crosby, and Graham Nash from The Hollies.

The resulting albums sold over two million copies, but doubts about their ability to duplicate the studio perfection on tour led to the recruitment of Young, together with a bass player and a drummer.

At the height of their popularity, with two number one albums under their belts - Deja Vu and Four Way Street - Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young split up after only 14 months.

Over the next ten years they recorded with various permutations, but Crosby, Stills and Nash came to realise that their original combination was a winner and they regrouped for Top 10 albums CSN and Daylight. 

Meanwhile, Neil Young went his own way, following an eccentric path which won a dedicated following.
