He had a reputation as a fairly difficult person, but he produced some great music.

When I was about 17, I heard this song in an old Marx Brothers Movie, at the old Blue Mouse Theater.
I went back, recorded it in the next showing, wrote out the lyrics, sounded out and learned the guitar chords, and taught it to my 5 younger siblings. The following fathers day, we gave my father a tie, and sang this song to him. He laughed and laughed, and it was the only time I ever saw him cry.
He’s been gone now for 10 days short of 14 years. I heard the tune last night on the PBS special " Groucho & Cavett" and laughed and cried. Here is a brief YouTube version of the song:

I too am sad about the passing of David Crosby. Saw CSN in concert in Gainesville back in 1982. Way good. Loved the music and the harmony. So I offer a lesser known song written by Crosby, which ties into an area of Florida that I always thought was paradise, but not so much now after Hurricane Ian. I hope you like it as much as I.

Ringo Starr is coming to Salt Lake. This is the best song George Harrison wrote for Ringo.

Was watching “Grimm” and heard this cover of “Sweet Dreams.”
Makes the song all creepy!

The song was already a little creepy. This runs it off the Creep Chart.

I’m working the graveyard shift and playing the 70’s a little loud as I’m the only one here, and up pops this little gem. I laughed my butt off. Sorry, but I don’t think this group had any idea that they came off as creepers. I’m sure it was super hip back in the day.
Lordy!

A 70’s classic

LOL! never liked them much, I actually remember this tune, but only vaguely, but I did get paid $50 at about the age of 15 in the early 70’s to setup their equipment for a concert at the (then) Special Events Center. Their road crew was late arriving to town, so the manager found a group of us kids hanging out at Reservoir Park and paid us all a handsome sum to unload and setup the equipment.
As the only musician in the group, I had the task of tuning all the instruments and checking all the amps, etc. The lead guitarist owned a very unique instrument, one of the very earliest fender guitars from the late 1940s called a Broadcaster (they later released newer versions of these as Telecasters). His had been butchered by a wood carver carving psychedelic designs in the guitar body. The guitarist, Larry Knechtel, had been a member of the infamous LA Studio musicians known as the Wrecking Crew, and was an accomplished guitarist.
As for coming off as creepers, imagine a limousine pulling up to reservoir park in about 1971, rear door flies open and a middle aged hippie jumps out and says to a group of young teenagers, “you guys wanna make some money?”.

Not at all hip. Not even close. Think Nickleback.
