David Crosby

Today, David Crosby, the American singer, songwriter and musician turns 69 years old. He may be a social and political bad boy in the eyes of many, but he remains an iconic figure in the performance and evolution of popular music beginning in the 1960s. His talents, notably his beautiful high harmony, helped propel The Byrds, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young to the top of the charts. Crosby is still on the circuit adding his signature sound --and rather strong it remains--after all these years. Considering the toll from years of unhealthy life choices both emotional and physical, we're fortunate to have him around for another generation of admirers. For me, Crosby ranks among the best of the singer songwriters. When I hear him, all politics is put aside.

For those who may be unfamiliar with Crosby, here are two selections. In the first, he performs his own song accompanied by Graham Nash. In the second, he sings another of his songs with Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young. This is CSNY at the height of their career.
