Early Life

Graham Nash was born on February 2, 1942 in Blackpool, England. His mother had been evacuated there from Salford due to World War II; the family eventually returned to Salford after the war.

The Hollies

Alongside his school chum Allan Clarke, Nash co-founded the rock band the Hollies in 1962. The group went on to become one of the most successful British acts of the 60s and 70s, releasing such hit songs as "Stop Stop Stop," "Bus Stop," "On a Carousel," and "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress." Notably, Nash contributed lead vocals to a number of the Hollies' singles, including "On a Carousel" and "Carrie Anne." After his initial departure from the band, he reunited with the Hollies a number of times over the years, including for the 1983 albums "What Goes Around…" and "Reunion."

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

On tour with the Hollies in the US in 1966, Nash met fellow singer-songwriters and musicians David Crosby and Stephen Stills. A couple years later, Nash left the Hollies to form the folk rock trio Crosby, Stills & Nash. The band's self-titled debut album came out the following year; a substantial success, it spawned the top-40 hits "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" and "Marrakesh Express." Aiming to go on tour and realizing they needed more musicians to strengthen their sound, Crosby, Stills & Nash decided to invite Neil Young to join them, ultimately creating the quartet Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. In 1970, they released the album "Déjà Vu," which launched the top-40 singles "Woodstock," "Our House," and "Teach Your Children." The following year, CSNY released the double live album "4 Way Street," which reached number one on the Billboard 200. However, the tour that produced the album was a tumultuous one, marked by many arguments between Young and drummer Dallas Taylor and tensions with Stills. When the tour was over, CSNY split up. The group got back together a number of times over the years, and released such further albums as "So Far," "CSN," "Daylight Again," "American Dream," "After the Storm," and "Looking Forward."
