He was certainly an entertainer of an entire generation.

So sad that our generation of entertainers are passing. He was so talented.

His was the voice that synced the others in CSN(Y) into a cohesive harmonic sound. A troubled soul who expressed himself in heartbreakingly beautiful music. Wooden Ships is one of my all-time favorites. Learning of his passing hit me like a brick.

This is from the December 12, 1965 Ed Sullivan show. A very young looking David Crosby - without the moustache - is on the far left.

He was my all time favorite singer. His harmonies with Graham Nash were the best. Saw him and CSN many times in concert. Feel a bit broken today even though I knew this day was coming given his health issues. His song "I won't stay for long" on his 2021 For Free CD is prophetic and beautiful.

Does anyone remember a sitcom where he was the Father of the young female lead and kept sort of popping up whenever someone wanted to date her. It was a few years ago, but he was alrewady wearing the beret and a long orange beard.

No, but he did play a pirate in the Robin Williams/Dustin Hoffman Peter Pan movie Hook.

The only reoccurring role in a sitcom appears to have been on the John Larroquett Show. But it doesn't seem to match your memory. Was it a single episode?

I think he only appeared a couple of times and I really have no idea what the show was called. It will haunt me now. I believe there was a running joke about what he was carrying in his guitar case.,

Pretty pathetic that with David Crosby's musical talent and legacy there is an exchange about an obscure tv show appearance. Whatever, your right. He was an extremely talented, flawed and amazing talent. Loved him my whole adult life for being there with my important moments. Yes, when things happen music plays an important point. His was and continues to by mine. Listening to his 2021 CD For Free. The last song on it is I Won't Stay For Long. Prophetic and hits close to home. Check it out if interested.

So, you don't know the name of the obscure tv show either?

Try Google is so interested. The point of this thread was about David Crosby's music legacy and the passing of another icon who meant a lot to so many. I didn't necessarily agree with his politics or life choices but his music got me through many a good and bad time in my life.

Because of your post about his bit part in a movie, I didn't think that his music legacy would be destroyed with the mention of his bit part in a tv show. After all, he condidered himself an actor as well as a musician. I didn't mean to step on your memories.

Sorry for my negative response. Am still a bit broken about it all. A bit stupid I know but what can I say. Just another reminder of my own mortality that hit close to home.

Yes, only McGuinn & Hillman of the The Byrds original 5 are still alive today.

Love his music. Grew up listening to it and to CSN&Y. Had a chance to work with him twice, in 2017 and 2018 and spent a couple of hours talking to him. So nice and down to earth. Amazing how many great songs he was a part of. May he rest in peace.
