@CitizenD Sorry to hear about his death but he had an intense, and very opinionated life.
The documentary listed by Don above is very recommended to anyone interested in the singer/songwriter LA music scene from the mid 60s and through the 70s.
A taster ...
For harmonies, CSN&Y were sublime.

@Buttless Stills looking like a substitute maths teacher that stinks of smoke and rum ;)
@DemandingFemale 
DF, I worked security for Bill Graham Presents, and had to deal with Stephen Stills on several occasions. The guy is a total douchebag
@max_black LOL, that doesn't surprise me.
I had some dealings with part of his online PR team several years ago and they were absolute loons.
We saw him during his 2008 solo tour. Was great to see him but he sure is deaf as a post and sounds like it. Unlike David and Graham who sounded just as they did 40 years ago.
That being said, Stills is my guy. As much as I like the Byrds or The Hollies - Buffalo Springfield is where it's at!
@DemandingFemale All great bands 
The story they tell about writing and recording 'Ohio' is amazing

We went to see Crosby, Stills & Nash during their 2009 tour. Then Crosby & Nash in 2010. C&N sounded absolutely amazing! We got totally blanked by a very grumpy David but had a great conversation with their guitarist Shayne Fontaine.

@💛Yellow_rose1💛 Almost Cut my Hair is all Crosby...4 way street is a good listen to hear the harmonies from CSNY live
@max_black I was going to mention the harmonies with CSandN. I would have loved to see them live I bet it was amazing. I probably would have been so overwhelmed with emotion I would have cried like I did when I saw Elton John live in 92'

He had a quite unique guitar style, fits so well backing songs and for solos also.
Kept it right to the end... once you have mastered something why change it?
