David Crosby, the iconic singer-songwriter who died Wednesday at age 81, leaves behind a mighty musical legacy.
The vast majority of that legacy is tied to the two legendary acts that he co-founded — the Byrds and CSN (Crosby, Stills & Nash). His work in those bands resulted in him becoming one of only a handful of two-time inductees to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame — first as a member of the Byrds in 1991 and then with CSN in 1997. (Other two-time inductees include John Lennon, Neil Young, Stevie Nicks and the recently departed Jeff Beck.)
Crosby also fashioned an impressive solo career — highlighted by the release of the 1971 debut “If I Could Only Remember My Name,” which reached as high as No. 12 on the charts on its way to earning gold certification.
