‘DAVID WAS AN UNBELIEVABLE TALENT’ David Crosby, one of the most influential rock singers of the 1960s and ’70s with the Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young has died at the age of 81, Variety reported, citing a statement from Crosby’s wife. READ:
Musically, Crosby stood out for his intricate vocal harmonies, unorthodox open tunings on guitar and incisive songwriting. His work with both the Byrds and CSN/CSNY blended rock and folk in new ways and their music became a part of the soundtrack for the hippie era.
“I’m concerned that the time I’ve got here is so short, and I’m pissed at myself, deeply, for the 10 years—at least—of time that I wasted just getting smashed,” Crosby told the Los Angeles Times in July 2019. “I’m ashamed of that.”He also managed to alienate many of his famous former bandmates for which he often expressed remorse in recent years.His drug habits and often abrasive personality contributed to the demise of CSNY and the members eventually quit speaking to each other.
Crosby was born on Aug. 14, 1941, in Los Angeles. His father was a cinematographer who won a Golden Globe for “High Noon” in 1952 and his mother exposed him to the folk group the Weavers and to classical music.As a teenager, Crosby found that one of his passions aided him in the pursuit of another. “It was absolutely joyous to me,” he wrote. “I always loved it. I always will love it. And I did get laid.
Guitarist and singer-songwriter Young fell in with them that year and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young came to be considered one of the greatest amalgams of talent in rock history. Crosby had a daughter with a girlfriend but soon left her for Jan Dance, who moved in with him in 1978. That relationship lasted and they had a son, Django, in 1995.
