[@michaelblaydes6037]

CSN (and Y too) is a whole realm of music all its own. A new dimension of offshoots, bands that each member was in before they joined forces, and solo from each after they started together. Plus all the combinations with only two of them working together...on and on. The one I personally think YOU, Jamal, would like best from them is Darkstar from 1977. Probably the funkiest groove they ever did. Stills is the most gifted by far of the group, but the harmonies all of them had together is arguably the greatest in rock history, and David Crosby had the best voice.

[@Salukicyclist]

Listen to "See the Changes" from the CSN album. When they sing "I'm wondering how," it's like a direct injection of the harmony drug. It's hard to listen to it without shivering.

Shelia I’m a black girl too who grew up in a black neighborhood in Alabama and my parents exposed and taught us to embrace all kinds of music. I am a child of the 60’s and 70’s and my Mom had the radio on in our house all the time. We listened to a top 40 radio station and then in 1973 we got our first black r & b radio station which was owned by my cousin who was encouraged by James Brown to do so and it was amazing!!! I listened to both WLAY (top 40) and WZZA (r & b)…best of both worlds!!!

Crosby and Nash were right on the money with each other. Too bad they can’t stand each other anymore. Stills was the icing on the cake. When Young came along, Stills and he brought duelling guitar fire to the mix. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqHOdn-rn5uepJY

[@juniorjohnson9509]

If I have to story correct, they were all at a party at Frank Zappa's home, and had never met each other before then. As musicians will, they decided to start jammin', and after a couple tunes, Crosby, with all 3 of them being pretty stunned by their chemistry, just said" Well, I think we now know what we'll be doing for the next couple of years!".

[@thorkhammer]

I grew up during this time. The music we casually heard day in and out, it makes me sad folks today can only find it by going back to the source. But, it thrills me to see people hearing this music and loving it like we did.

[@jotacalvo]

Thork Hammer couldn’t agree more. I truly, truly feel bad for those who didn’t grow up with this music. I was only 8 months old when Woodstock happened, but my father constantly had music playing. Either in the house (loud enough to hear outside while I was playing) or in his work van. My memories of the early-late 70's weren’t just memorable... they were grand.

I can hardly wait 'til Jamal discovers Buffalo Springfield (I hope he doesn't start with "For What It's Worth"!!). "Bluebird", "Kind Woman" are such great country rock fusion songs. Poco came out of Buffalo Springfield, didn't they? Luv Poco.

I hear it as "Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now." It means, to me, when you think back on really happy times enjoying your happy memories, dont get down thinking you'll never have those great feelings that you once had when you were young or younger.than you are now. If you get older, I think most everybody does that. You miss those types of great times and feelings you had in life when you were younger, and you realize that things are different now and you are also older and are afraid you'll never get those types of great times and feelings back like you had when you were younger - than you are now. Don't let that happen. Don't give up on yourself being able to continue to be thankful and happy enjoying special moments in your life. That is what this song means to me, anyway. Stephen is saying this (in the song's lyrics) to his ex girlfriend who he misses and wants back in his life.

Imagine sitting there with them, in that picture, in 1969. Jamming, talking, just enjoying the day.

As the story goes, they went back to that derelict house to reshoot the cover, seated in the same order of the name they had chosen for the group (Crosby, Stills & Nash), but the house had already been demolished.

[@avalondreaming1433]

What an amazing moment in time!

[@lisaannbarriner9633]

Oh my, it would have been awesome just to sit and listen in.

Except for that creepy dude looking out the back door lol

Mamma Cass Eliott introduced them to one another, and the rest is just magic.

[@MrMrmmu72]

She's in the background of some of the songs.

[@ALF782]

She also introduced Graham Nash to Joni Mitchell and said she's perfect for you and she was.....for a while

Dave Crosby used to sit in with Jefferson Airplane back in the day. If you find the right KZbin video you might see him shaking a tambourine on Somebody to Love with Jefferson Airplane on the Dick Cavett Show.

"Helplessly Hoping" by them is gonna blow your mind!

Did that one👍🏾

More than 50 years later, the music that stunned me as a teenager still has that power today! Your reactions chimed exactly with mine .

[@binkle76]

Easily one of the best songs ever recorded.

[@theplanetruth]

7:27-this was the reaction I was hoping for. Thank you, Jamel. And, you’re welcome.

[@maryhudak673]

You are making this virus problem totally enjoyable. I love music as you do. I feel the joy of growing up in the 70s! I'm glad you are loving the "oldies". It brings a big smile to my heart and soul. Btw, you have the cutest dimples that I've seen. God bless you and yours Jamal.

[@killerb6792]

That bass breakdown is epic. The entire So Far album is a masterpiece. No one can do harmony like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. I stole that album from my dad 20 years ago, and never gave it back.

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

I don't think I have said this on this song with you but this is my parents song as they loved it so much when they were courting. My dad had perfect pitch and sang this to her. This whole album was a "house" album in our house and still is. They have been married for 46 years and still in love. So happy you like it.

[@franciscomoliner1296]

For the younger ones, don't miss out on the whole "Four Way Street" Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young live album, it's a gem. Regards

[@jeriolsen336]

I agree that alliteration is awesome! Same in Helplessly Hoping.

[@TauRiOneill]

Love your reactions. My wife and I are big fans. She requests CSN “Wooden Ships”. She says you need that in your life.😉

[@zbagz01]

I saw their first show after Judy Blue Eyes came out. Fillmore East, Friday night, early show. It was their first song, and I think they may have been worried about the reaction they would get. We all clapped and hollered and they jumped around high-fiving each other. Hearing the song brings it all back.

[@deborahcornell171]

Google images of Judy Collins & take a look at those blue eyes. Saw a recent interview with her & Stephen. In their 70's & still very close friends.💙

You gotta hear David Crosby's guitar part in 8 Miles High, when he was with the Byrds. It will blow you away

[@laurencechopperlukasik6107]

FYI: What you believe might be a drummer is the acoustic guitar player using his fingers against the body of the guitar along with "reverb" to produce the sound you think are drums.

[@17golfstar]

Stills is a musical GOD

[@jeffmorse645]

Some of the most talented musicians in rock. Timeless - hard to believe its over 50 years old. Sounds as fresh as the day it came out.

[@thomasdematteo2281]

I love how they use the word "suite :" as a pun for sweet Judy Blue eyes. It also serves as a collection of 'musical rooms' or different pieces of music put together. I stil think "Southern cross" is my favorite. Listen "Wasted on the Way" by them

[@touchstoneaf]

God I love Southern Cross

[@roberts.2536]

Yes it was stuff like this (side two of Abbey Road is another example) that inspired later masterwork "suites" like Billy Joel's "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant."

[@drewcama5481]

Yes it is a suit. Its like 4 0r more songs in one. They use all forms of harmony and gracefully slide from one to the other. The guitar changes into a sitar like Indian sound to a Spanish Mexican sound and more. The are almost showing off on how beautiful their harmonies are, and tight like the best of choirs and then they add a gospel touch on top of it. I'm sure this song is a music class in itself.

[@vickihigh5287]

Was it Judy Collins inspired?

[@williamsimmons152]

@@vickihigh5287 yes. Stills and Judy were an item, she dumped him and he wrote this to get her back. She said “ it’s a great song, but it won’t work.”

[@michaeltveten8458]

This song, and “A Day in the Life”, by the Beatles could get me through a stretch on a “deserted island”......It’s just so good!!!

[@thewal1ofsleep]

Many may disagree with me, but I think this is their greatest song. Impeccable harmonies and effortless transitions.

[@wendyhanrahan6542]

Wooden Ships has the best line ever: “If you smile at me I will understand, cause that is something everybody everywhere does in the same language.”

[@tannermagee9597]

Got to love CSN and CSNY i think its crazy that Stills actually played the guitar,bass and drums on most of this album a very talented guy

[@billmann6278]

Californian David Crosby, Texan Stephen Stills, England's Graham Nash, and later Canada's Neil Young. Signed by Amet Ertegun of Atlantic Records, very important person to Rock music history. You might want to see the documentary about him. Just sayin'.

[@roberts.2536]

Ahmet was willing to take chances on so many great musicians (CSNY, Yes, Ray Charles, etc., etc.) and made the world a better place for doing so.
