Crosby, Stills & Nash

Future icon of melody was frankly amazed he was paid at all to do what he already loved.

"His legacy will continue to live on through his legendary music," Crosby's wife said in a statement.

An informal jam at a party in July 1968 showed David Crosby, Graham Nash and Stephen Stills that their voices blended perfectly together.

Graham Nash once said this was "by far, one of the most frustrating projects of my life."

It wasn't long before they were back to fighting again.

This self-titled debut remains one of the rare records that lived up to the hype.
