Graham Nash, Stephen Stills and David Crosby


The trio, Crosby, Stills and Nash were formed by....

David Crosby / The Byrds
Stephen Stills / Buffalo Springfield
and Graham Nash / The Hollies

Why is the name "Crosby, Stills & Nash"?

"We didn't get the name for the band until we were recording the first album at Wally Heider Studios in Los Angeles. We didn't want to sound too much like a permanent group, so it had to be our names. Stephen wanted 'Stills, Crosby & Nash', but I vetoed that because it just didn't sound right. The only way of combining our names that sounded good to me, was 'Crosby, Stills & Nash', so I put that forward, and of course, Crosby was delighted."

I see what you've done!

Apparently Graham Nash offered Marrakesh Express before his departure from the Hollies, but they weren't interested and the rest is history.
A chat program here in Australia presented Graham Nash which raised the question why he left the Hollies which I think he said it had to do with where they were heading musically, there is another story about a song Nash wrote for the Hollies, but failed to chart, that song was King Midas in Reverse:

Interesting to note that CSN&Y also performed this song live for a comparison:

I would have loved to be in that room where they first got together. It must have been a religious experience to hear those three voices together the first time. Too bad egos got in the way.
