Nice harmonies, weird character. Shame he kept falling out with Nash and Stills.

R.I.P David.

The world seems to have lost a lot of great musicians this last 2 or 3 years.

Wonder if Graham Nash will go to his funeral?

RIP David. Stunned he lived this long after the abuse he put his body through.

Not up to date with the fallout with Graham Nash but the last documentary I saw on them Nash had paid a fortune to have him looked after, almost certainly saving his life at that time.

A vital part of Crosby Stills Nash and Young. Some great songs of his on their one studio album - 'Wooden Ships, for one - he was a great singer, too.

Just to edit the above: 'Wooden Ships' was on Crosby, Stills and Nash's album. 'Almost Cut My Hair' was on CSN&Y's debut album.

Saw him with the Byrds at Nelson Imp and also at the Royal Albert Hall. Brilliant experiences both.

Isn’t that Ron Jeremy, not David Crosby?.

I am sure I read as well only a few days ago he was still appearing in concert.

Laughing, from his solo album 'If I Could Only Remember My Name'.

An odd song but strangely beautiful and lovely pedal steel from the late Jerry Garcia.

I should add that Nash and Joni Mitchell are singing in that song.
