David Crosby (August 14, 1941 – January 19, 2023) R.I.P.
He was a founding member of both the Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash, and also embarked on a solo career. Crosby was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice: once for his work in the Byrds and again for his work with CSN. Five albums to which he contributed are included in Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time", three with the Byrds and two with CSN(Y). Crosby was outspoken politically and was sometimes depicted as emblematic of the counterculture of the 1960s.
