Special - David Crosby tribute

from Famous Lost Words · host Bell Media

David Crosby was a towering figure in music history. As a founding member of The Byrds and then with Crosby, Stills & Nash, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, he was there at the start of the folk rock era and was an essential element in the sound of those bands. His unique approach to vocal harmonies helped to define those groups and their influence is heard to this day.   Christopher interviewed Crosby in 1989 as he was undergoing a resurgence that would last more than 30 years... and that's after everyone had written him off.  The interview is amazing... capturing Crosby's gregarious nature, love of storytelling, and his deep love for music.     We also have a series of clips from around 1970, as Crosby talks exuberantly about Crosby, Stills & Nash. He explains why they chose the name, even though it sounded like a law firm and why he had such a strong connection to his bandmates. We also talk about Crosby's legacy and the latter day arguments that tore his friendships apart. Yet, after his passing, those friends chose to remember him fondly.  David Crosby passed away on January 18 2023 at the age of 81.
