This was one of the first true supergroups. David Crosby was a founding member of the Byrds, Steven Stills and Neil Young were founding members of the Buffalo Springfield, and Graham Nash was a founding member of the Hollies. Each band had multiple top ten singles. Their second live performance as a group was at Woodstock in front of a 400,000 people.
Definitely, I was a freshman in highschool and just started growing my hair long when this song came out. Whenever I encountered pushback for wearing my hair long, I would put the headphones on a play this song.
Tiny purple fishes Runlaughingthruyourfingers PLEASE play this song! I’m still haven’t cut mine and I’m in my gulp in my 50s. Speaking of ur handle, I want to hear that too. Fave Cream song.
This one and the Fleet Foxes' "Helplessness Blues". I think they're what I listen the most when depression takes over. If you haven't listen to the latter, it's very much in the vein of '70s folk and Robin Pecknold's voice really soothes me.
Love, love Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young! I give a vote for "Suite Judy Blue Eyes". Several people in the chat threw out this song from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. I played most of my music flying down the road in my car and cranked up loud! This was the 70's after all.
Ok ive drive truck cross country. CSN&Y Crankin` across the arizona desert. Screaming Sweet Judy Blue Eyes at the top of my lungs.... but it has to be the Wood Stock version....
On my must have list for any record collector, one of the greatest albums ever recorded full stop!!!! love it the first time I listened to it and still love it today, when I play this it's like visiting old friends, you know the ones you don't see very often but when you do it;s like you never lost touch, do yourself a favor and buy a copy and give your ears a treat!!!
this is the music of my youth. I first bought this on vinyl in 1970... (yeah, I am older than dirt). If you want to dive into Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young live music, I strongly recommend the album "4 Way Street"
The song that you were remembering but didn't know the name of was Carry On My Wayward Son...by Kansas. Also great harmonies...but I think CSNY has some of the best harmonies of the era.
The song you're humming is, "Carry On Wayward Son," by the band Kansas. This song by CSNY didn't even break the top 100 on the charts; the album it came from, Deja Vu went Platinum and was # 1 for one week. Four singles from it charted but none made it higher than #11, (Woodstock). Neither CSN nor CSNY have ever had a number 1 Billboard single. "Southern Cross," went to #1 in Canada; "Got It Made," made #1 on the Mainstream Rock chart of most played songs. Neil Young had a #1 single with "Heart Of Gold" in 1972
The whole album is killer, as are many of their other albums - even the ones without Niel Young. You may want to check out "Woodstock," another track from the same album. It was written by Joni Mitchell, who was Graham Nash's girlfriend at the time. This was a lazy summer afternoon album, either chillin' out in the back yard or going for a "space cruise" in the car. The other track you are thinking of is "Carry On My Wayward Son" by Kansas. It was their big hit, but there are many other better tracks from Kansas, at least in my opinion. (Or maybe I'm just bored with how much it's been over played.) Check out "Lonely Wind", "Journey from Mariabronn", "Song For America", "Icarus - Borne on Wings of Steel", "The Wall", "Miracles Out of Nowhere", or "Cheyenne Anthem".
Great music, couldn't go anywhere back in the day without hearing this or something from this album playing in the background. Yes, it was a BIG hit & brings back so many good memories. Thanks😊
I have to say this to you that you are one of the few people who have these reaction videos that really respect the music, the art and doesn't chop it up every 30 seconds with constant prattle. I thank you for that and I wish others would follow your example
I love ppl’s reactions when they hear the harmonies for the first time. These guys were solid musically all around and I’m so glad I grew up listening to these tunes ❤
Finally! You’re discovering the one and only Crosby Stills Nash & Young album Deja Vu. Each member, a legendary and accomplished musician in their own right. The album is a remarkable and unforgettable masterpiece. I think I’ve used almost all of my adjectives. Just listen. The lyrics and music themselves are a feat of writing that I don’t think most of my generation will ever forget. Thank you for this… I always knew these harmonies would float your boat😊 There are many lessons of life included as well. Please listen to the entire album, even if you don’t react to all of the songs.
Their entire catalog makes me happy, the diversity of their songs and their harmonies work best of most every other group. True singer song writers, all members. My all time favorite is Southern Cross.
This album was released in 1970..when i was a jr in high school. This was one of the seminal platters of my youth. Pretty much every song on it is crazy good. We had a group of guys & girls that would get together frequently at different houses on Fri or Sat evening to hang out talk & dance...pretty innocent stuff. This was a go-to for background music.
I remember listening to this song as a kid with my Mom, always mad me feel good when hearing it and have been a fan of this group since. I wasn't old enough to see them in concert back in the day but I did see them in 2006 and they still sounded great. This is a song that can be very uplifting in these times as it was back then. At the moment we are all carrying on and trying to stay positive through all of what is going on now. It's good to just turn off the news and turn on a song like this to keep your spirits up. Thanks for the video!
I will listen to any group, regardless of genre, when they harmonize. The Eagles are a great example with Seven Bridges Road, and Ol' 55 being my favorites. For country I'd check out The Gatlin Brothers Band. All the Gold in California is their biggest hit, but I love Broken Lady. The current country harmony masters in my opinion is Little Big Town. Sober is my favorite. For 70's rock definitely listen to The Little River Band. Lady, and Cool Change are my favorites.
So glad you enjoy the amazing CSNY. I wore my copy of this record right out, and I still listen to it regularly. It takes me right back to my youth, when we used to throw massive parties when our parents would go away for the weekend. We'd listen to this album when we needed people to chill, and it worked so well. My sister and I also did a mean rendition of "Helplessly Hoping" off this record.
They are one of the first Supergroups and you should check out their original bands. David Crosby (the Byrds), Graham Nash (The Hollies) and Stills and Young (Buffalo Springfield). There were a number of British musicians that changed groups but these guys changed the world.
What a blast from the past and I'm still grinning. Let me tell you a little of the memories that I have. First my favorite song of all from these guys is Southern Cross hands down. And I was still living on Sand Mountain born and raised. I was just a hop, skip and a jump from Lookout Mountain where Randy Owens "Alabama lead singer" was raised. I remember bell bottoms and a Boone's Farm tee shirt that I loved so this would have been about the age of 14 I guess. But here's the funny thing I remember. At least to me it is. It's about my grandpa's. One was a very strict Baptist preacher. And the other was a bootlegger. And strangely enough I learned about the goodness of God from the goodness of my people from the bootlegger side of my family. This will probably bore most people. But still this is my memories just from hearing C,S,N, and Y again.
My first outdoor rock concert was CSN in Santa Barbara. Thank you, Danny, for inviting me. We were in high school and now I'm another old lady missing the past. Absolutely love these guys. Thanks for playing their music.
So happy you found CSN&Y! Check out the live double album “Four way street” one of the greatest live albums of all time! You will hear these guys are perfection and even more astounding live! Enjoy!
This is the kind of music I got to grow up with. I had a bootleg 8-track of this album that I bought from behind the counter at my local mom and pop store that I used to ride my bike to.
I LOVE CSNY!! Sooooo much, this is an awesome to sing along with... i listen to this on an almost daily basis, along with other faves of theirs I have... absolutely beautiful, super talented... got to see them in the 90’s when they reunited for a performance in NYC.. and I own the Woodstock concert (where they were introduced publicly the first time) & they sounded only better as they evolved... I even like their cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock” better then her original... LOVE THEM!!! Awesome song, my fave from them! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
This is the first album I remember as a young child. My mother played it quite often and as an adult, I adopted it as my housecleaning album. Side 1 is as good as it gets
CSNY is legendary, great musicians along with great harmonies. One of the best albums ever. It was a huge hit album and still played on certain radio stations today!
What a band they were. All superb musicians in their own right. Had the great pleasure of seeing them perform live and it was an incredible experience.
This album is medicine for the soul. My dad in the 60 s used to complain about my hippie music, then one day I heard him singing along in the other room. My response? Hello fellow hippie welcome aboard
I was a senior in high school when CSNY was very popular. We knew all of their songs and I learned to harmonize with my brothers and sisters by listening to them. All of my siblings learned the harmonies and sang "Teach Your Children" to my mom on Mother's Day. My brothers played guitar as well. Made my mom cry! It was awesome.
I really enjoy watching folks enjoy music from outside their norm. Love it! This was out in 1970. Tower of Power - What is Hip (1973) I've seen them in concert in the early 90's...amazing.
This came out in 1970, and was one of their Finest; hands down. The Harmony was perfect, and that Wa Wa pedal sound on Lead was terrific, and don't forget that Right on BASS!
I see that you are a musician so you might appreciate this information. The main acoustic guitar part that begins the song and plays throughout all of the verses is played by Stephen Stills and every string on it, except the B string, is tuned to an E note. The B string just stays a B note. That is how he gets that ringing sustained sound. He uses this same tuning on Suite Judy Blue Eyes and 4 and 20. It is called an E9 tuning.
This was done during the heights of the Vietnam War. A bunch of their songs were of the message, ‘Stop the War’...one of the worlds most outspoken critics of the War in Vietnam. Harmonic style was their forte, and they spread their message by way of their music. Love CSN&Y!!!
This is one of my all time favorites. I was around 20 at the time. I wasn't a hippie, but it was a time of feeling free & hopeful. To be honest with you I thought it was a time when people would finally get together. Being 70 now I can look back & reflect. I have lived through so much history. Some heartbreaking & some joyous moments. This song takes me on a journey through time. Musically, I lived through the best of time. LOL that reminds me of Styx " the best of times" That's a good one to check out.
Great comment. I'm 73 years old and this is the music of my life. It always reminds me of the opening lines of Dickens' Tale of Two Cities: it was both the best of times and the worst of times."
The most perfect harmonies on the planet, ever!!! 🎶
R.I.P. David Crosby! 💔🎸
Suite for Judy Blue Eyes, Wooden Ships, Deja Vu! Their harmonies were to die for.....!
Cynthia Navarro Wooden Ships. I recorded myself requesting it on K-Rock in like ‘87 maybe. Great great song.
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, but yeah.
Hi Cyn!
Their song Woodstock too
Southern Cross
This was one of the first true supergroups. David Crosby was a founding member of the Byrds, Steven Stills and Neil Young were founding members of the Buffalo Springfield, and Graham Nash was a founding member of the Hollies. Each band had multiple top ten singles. Their second live performance as a group was at Woodstock in front of a 400,000 people.
Epic!
“Almost cut my hair” a killer song off this very album, worth a listen.🎶
Definitely, I was a freshman in highschool and just started growing my hair long when this song came out. Whenever I encountered pushback for wearing my hair long, I would put the headphones on a play this song.
True, and Country Girl is an amazing track too. Bought the album recently, production-wise and song writing, so good
Tiny purple fishes Runlaughingthruyourfingers PLEASE play this song! I’m still haven’t cut mine and I’m in my gulp in my 50s. Speaking of ur handle, I want to hear that too. Fave Cream song.
Melissa Yost I bet you’re a wonderful person, just something about your words. Have an awesome day beautiful.
One of my favorites.
I was 20 in 1967. There was a tsunami of great music on the radio. How did we get from there to here ?
Yes, I really wonder. All the genius in art, music and politics just seemed to fade away.
And they did all that without auto tune.
Amen!
Back when people could actually sing
even i could be a rock star with auto tune. try doing it back in the 60's....you had to have talent before technology.
Yep, just raw talent.
This one is on my "perfect album" list. When I need to chill and heal my soul a bit this helps immensely.
Dale Crowe ...I hear ya friend.
Totally agree
cool hat
I still got the record.
This one and the Fleet Foxes' "Helplessness Blues". I think they're what I listen the most when depression takes over. If you haven't listen to the latter, it's very much in the vein of '70s folk and Robin Pecknold's voice really soothes me.

Thank you! lol
Sharon Burris Great Song which was written for the great Judy Collins who was Stephen Stills’s girlfriend at that time it was written!👍🏻❤️☮️
Ok ive drive truck cross country. CSN&Y Crankin` across the arizona desert. Screaming Sweet Judy Blue Eyes at the top of my lungs.... but it has to be the Wood Stock version....
It was a great time to be alive and the music is as relevant and alive now as it was then.
Me too
Fifty years later, and this is still the best music.
This song and “Teach Your Children” are my favorites of theirs.
Yesss!👍👍👍
Another Crosby Stills & Nash song with amazing harmonies is Helplessly Hoping.
The 60s were a spiritual renaissance these are the dark ages we are living through once again.
On my must have list for any record collector, one of the greatest albums ever recorded full stop!!!! love it the first time I listened to it and still love it today, when I play this it's like visiting old friends, you know the ones you don't see very often but when you do it;s like you never lost touch, do yourself a favor and buy a copy and give your ears a treat!!!
One of my fav albums of all time. Every song is brilliant.
Saw them in concert years back. They opened with this.. the sound..the volume..I burst into tears. My wife knew..squeezed my hand.
CSN&Y - music for the ages. 50 years on and the music never gets old.
Stephen Stills hit this one right of the ballpark, down the road and into another state!!
Those harmonies get me every time I hear them.
All their songs are good. Some are like a trip down memory lane.
@@hudsonsteele1674 That's true. Like Cathedral
One of the best, seriously .. best!!!!
@@hudsonsteele1674 Exactly what I thought!
This was the "Woodstock" era 1968 - 1972 some great music came from it!
Hippie music at it's best! I was never much of a CSNY fan, but this song really takes me back.
Welcome to the wonderful world of the talented Stephen Stills!
this is the music of my youth. I first bought this on vinyl in 1970... (yeah, I am older than dirt). If you want to dive into Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young live music, I strongly recommend the album "4 Way Street"
This was the music of my post Vietnam years. It really helped to heal my troubled soul.
@@rogerd.miller1095
Thank you for your service!
Me too
Thanks ty for doing my song! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
The song that you were remembering but didn't know the name of was Carry On My Wayward Son...by Kansas. Also great harmonies...but I think CSNY has some of the best harmonies of the era.

"Southern Cross," went to #1 in Canada; "Got It Made," made #1 on the Mainstream Rock chart of most played songs.
Neil Young had a #1 single with "Heart Of Gold" in 1972
One of my all time favorite songs is Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl" with his band Crazy Horse.
Talk about a vibe.
You have entered the realm of, genius, of another magnitude.
This is just one of those songs that hooked me the first time I ever heard it. I think I probably listened to it 50 times that day.
Yeah, their harmonies aren't standard ones. They took everything to a new level.
Some of the best harmonies in the world
MUST do Suite Judy Blue Eyes!!! Helplessly Hoping is also a killer for harmonies!!
Wooden Ships is a must also
I love Helplessly Hoping! They’re all good.
"Country Girl"
Carry on from 4 way street need electric
I’ve loved these guys since I was 4, Helplessly Hoping is still my favorite song because that harmonizing is another level of art. 💜
"Ohio" is a must!
Ohio was the anthem of the anti-war movement. Still is.
Let’s face it. On this album, every song is a must.
The whole album is killer, as are many of their other albums - even the ones without Niel Young. You may want to check out "Woodstock," another track from the same album. It was written by Joni Mitchell, who was Graham Nash's girlfriend at the time.
This was a lazy summer afternoon album, either chillin' out in the back yard or going for a "space cruise" in the car.

Bob Kessler Well spotted to pick up the Kansas song.
Kansas has so many great hits. I have loved them in concert three times to date!
"Guinevere" "Wooden Ships" "Woodstock" "Ohio" I listened to this album (among many others) when I was in High School and College.
I love it, every time you get the chills from a song you scratch the top of your head. That's the giveaway there
The soundtrack of a generation
I saw Crosby, Stills and Nash live about a decade ago. They still sounded just like the recordings. True, awesome talent!
This is the best album in the world!!!In studio!!!!FANTASTIC Fantastic FANTASTIC!!!!🎸🎸🎸
Thank You for listening to this. I am great full to be growing up in the 70’s to hear great music. Thanks for taking me back.
Great music, couldn't go anywhere back in the day without hearing this or something from this album playing in the background. Yes, it was a BIG hit & brings back so many good memories. Thanks😊
When they sang and played together it was truly magic !!
I have to say this to you that you are one of the few people who have these reaction videos that really respect the music, the art and doesn't chop it up every 30 seconds with constant prattle. I thank you for that and I wish others would follow your example
Wow this takes me back....loved Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young......
I love ppl’s reactions when they hear the harmonies for the first time. These guys were solid musically all around and I’m so glad I grew up listening to these tunes ❤
Finally! You’re discovering the one and only
Crosby Stills Nash & Young album Deja Vu.
Each member, a legendary and accomplished musician in their own right.
The album is a remarkable and unforgettable masterpiece.
I think I’ve used almost all of my adjectives.
Just listen. The lyrics and music themselves are a feat of writing that I don’t think most of my generation will ever forget.
Thank you for this…
I always knew these harmonies would float your boat😊
There are many lessons of life included as
well.
Please listen to the entire album, even if you don’t react to all of the songs.
The song is awesome! ,musically, & the harmonies, act, as a r& b vocalist, musician this group is one thee best rock group s ever !
Their entire catalog makes me happy, the diversity of their songs and their harmonies work best of most every other group. True singer song writers, all members. My all time favorite is Southern Cross.
So, much soul, blues and jazz from a bunch of hippies.
This album was released in 1970..when i was a jr in high school. This was one of the seminal platters of my youth. Pretty much every song on it is crazy good. We had a group of guys & girls that would get together frequently at different houses on Fri or Sat evening to hang out talk & dance...pretty innocent stuff. This was a go-to for background music.
Yup. This was a classic. I remember it well. Great group.

Great to have an open mindset like you do sis.
Check out Foxes and Fossils “suite: Judy blue eyes” and “Helplessly hoping”......it’ll blow your you away.
So glad you enjoy the amazing CSNY. I wore my copy of this record right out, and I still listen to it regularly. It takes me right back to my youth, when we used to throw massive parties when our parents would go away for the weekend.

Used to just ride around listening to this band, with the volume cranked up! Thanks for the memories 💕🔥🤗
What a blast from the past and I'm still grinning. Let me tell you a little of the memories that I have. First my favorite song of all from these guys is Southern Cross hands down. And I was still living on Sand Mountain born and raised. I was just a hop, skip and a jump from Lookout Mountain where Randy Owens "Alabama lead singer" was raised. I remember bell bottoms and a Boone's Farm tee shirt that I loved so this would have been about the age of 14 I guess. But here's the funny thing I remember. At least to me it is. It's about my grandpa's. One was a very strict Baptist preacher. And the other was a bootlegger. And strangely enough I learned about the goodness of God from the goodness of my people from the bootlegger side of my family. This will probably bore most people. But still this is my memories just from hearing C,S,N, and Y again.
Epic memories.
My first outdoor rock concert was CSN in Santa Barbara. Thank you, Danny, for inviting me. We were in high school and now I'm another old lady missing the past. Absolutely love these guys. Thanks for playing their music.
They were one of the 60's gems...growing up in the 60's and 70's was AWESOME....This was an end of summer music.
Love this and the harmonies, reminds me of “ The Little River Band”. I liked the change of tempo and of course the guitar riffs💕💕
Their harmonizing is imperial!! Love it!
So happy you found CSN&Y! Check out the live double album “Four way street” one of the greatest live albums of all time! You will hear these guys are perfection and even more astounding live! Enjoy!
One of my top five bands, stunningly good!!😁😁🇬🇧
This is the kind of music I got to grow up with. I had a bootleg 8-track of this album that I bought from behind the counter at my local mom and pop store that I used to ride my bike to.
Like the Beach Boys, these guys had a very special chemistry when it came to their harmony.
There isn't a bad or even a mediocre song on the album. All are golden.
I LOVE CSNY!! Sooooo much, this is an
awesome to sing along with... i listen to this on an almost daily basis, along with other faves of theirs I have... absolutely beautiful, super talented... got to see them in the 90’s when they reunited for a performance in NYC.. and I own the Woodstock concert (where they were introduced publicly the first time) & they sounded only better as they evolved... I even like their cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock” better then her original... LOVE THEM!!! Awesome song, my fave from them! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I took my son to see them for his first concert. He's was amazed how it sounds so much better in person.
@@hudsonsteele1674 That's so cool you got to take your mom.
You’ll rub a bald spot into your head listening to this influential band my friend. Sweet Judy blue eyes, Our House, Four dead in Ohio, and lots more!
This is the first album I remember as a young child. My mother played it quite often and as an adult, I adopted it as my housecleaning album. Side 1 is as good as it gets
Love them and been a fan since the early 70’s 🎶❤️🎶❤️
Great album!! One of my favorites for sure!! So glad I lived in that era and enjoyed such exceptional music.💕💕
CSNY is legendary, great musicians along with great harmonies. One of the best albums ever. It was a huge hit album and still played on certain radio stations today!
Dude, your face when they start that groovy middle section -- great stuff. This song can't be denied.
March 1970- I was a junior in high school and loved these guys already- so lucky to have grown up in that era-
What a band they were. All superb musicians in their own right. Had the great pleasure of seeing them perform live and it was an incredible experience.
This sounds so sixties. Lord I miss that music!
This came out in 1970.
They were the Best! I saw David Crosby last summer and he still is right on point.
Love this song!💜Thank you to whoever requested it..Love your reaction MRM☺️..I replay this song over and over,never tire of it.
Doesn't come better than this. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Harmony made in heaven. Cheers
This album is medicine for the soul. My dad in the 60 s used to complain about my hippie music, then one day I heard him singing along in the other room. My response? Hello fellow hippie welcome aboard
Thank you thank you thank you. I bow to you that you are playing one of the most amazing albums and groups that ever existed. Did I thank you.
Dont' bow man. I just a dude. I bow to someone myself.
Huge #1 album and all great songs! Love this! CSNY were incredible! ♥️ Thanks for playing this! 🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
I was fortunate enough to see this band in concert. It blew me away.
One of the all time great albums!
I was a senior in high school when CSNY was very popular. We knew all of their songs and I learned to harmonize with my brothers and sisters by listening to them. All of my siblings learned the harmonies and sang "Teach Your Children" to my mom on Mother's Day. My brothers played guitar as well. Made my mom cry! It was awesome.
My sister and I would drive to Laguna Beach back in the day and listen to this entire album the whole way to the beach. Good times!
One of the most talented bands, ever.
I really enjoy watching folks enjoy music from outside their norm. Love it! This was out in 1970. Tower of Power - What is Hip (1973) I've seen them in concert in the early 90's...amazing.
This came out in 1970, and was one of their Finest; hands down. The Harmony was perfect, and that Wa Wa pedal sound on Lead was terrific, and don't forget that Right on BASS!
"Teach your Children" with Jerry Garcia on Steel guitar was a real welcoming prophetic number on this Album.
Arguably the best harmonious group ever
This was one of the anthems of my generation, totally fantastic. I'm devoted. "To sing the Blues, you got to live them too." my favourite quote.
Steven Stills is a GREAT guitar player!
I see that you are a musician so you might appreciate this information. The main acoustic guitar part that begins the song and plays throughout all of the verses is played by Stephen Stills and every string on it, except the B string, is tuned to an E note. The B string just stays a B note. That is how he gets that ringing sustained sound. He uses this same tuning on Suite Judy Blue Eyes and 4 and 20. It is called an E9 tuning.
"Southern Cross" is a great one.
This was done during the heights of the Vietnam War. A bunch of their songs were of the message, ‘Stop the War’...one of the worlds most outspoken critics of the War in Vietnam. Harmonic style was their forte, and they spread their message by way of their music. Love CSN&Y!!!
My favorite song for many years...Stills is a genius.
The depth, the width, the spectrum of CSN is unequaled. I learned to sing harmony by listening to their songs.
Thats some serious west coastal jam. CSNY were considered a calif band even though the were from all over. Good tune, thanks for playing it.
By far one of the best concert performances I've ever been to.
This is one of my all time favorites. I was around 20 at the time. I wasn't a hippie, but it was a time of feeling free & hopeful. To be honest with you I thought it was a time when people would finally get together. Being 70 now I can look back & reflect. I have lived through so much history.
