David Crosby, an icon of American rock, has died at age 81

NPR  

David Crosby, an icon of American rock, has died at age 81 David Crosby, an icon of American rock, has died. ERIC WESTERVELT, BYLINE: In a late 1960s and early '70s rock era dominated by either heavy electric guitar gods or meandering psychedelia, David Crosby and his friends took a very different path. Exactly where in LA's Laurel Canyon Crosby, Stills & Nash first sang together is still debated, lost in a smoky haze. WESTERVELT: Crosby, Stills & Nash's 1969 self-titled debut album was a huge critical and commercial success. Crosby recorded multiple solo albums and toured with groups of younger musicians, including The Lighthouse Band, here performing for NPR's Tiny Desk concert series.

LA Times  

David Crosby liked to take credit for just about everything that happened in the 1960s. Last year, he told Mojo magazine that he introduced George Harrison to Ravi Shankar, who introduced Harrison to the sitar, which in effect put Crosby’s fingerprints on the Beatles’ 1966 album, “Revolver.” In classic Crosby form, it was a self-mythologizing boast — and basically true. …
