David Van Cortlandt Crosby was an American singer, guitarist, and songwriter. In addition to his solo career, he was a founding member of both the Byrds and Crosby.

Crosby joined the Byrds in 1964. In April 1965, a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man” became their first number-one hit.

Crosby appeared on the Byrds’ first five albums and produced the original lineup’s 1973 reunion album. In 1968, he formed Crosby, Stills & Nash with Stephen Stills and Graham Nash. Crosby was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice: once with the Byrds and again with CSN.

Five of his albums are on Rolling Stone’s list of “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time,” three with the Byrds and two with CSN (Y). Crosby was a political outspoken figure who was sometimes portrayed as a symbol of the 1960s counterculture. Crosby also voiced himself on two episodes of The Simpsons, “Marge in Chains” and “Homer’s Barbershop Quartet”.
