  David Crosby 1976年於荷蘭阿姆斯特丹組成Crosby, Stills & Nash，二度進搖滾樂名人堂的David Crosby 去世的消息被他的家人封鎖，但經Billboard雜誌確認。他的死因不詳。Crosby是一位對folk-rock有深遠影響的開拓者，六十年來，身為The Byrds、Crosby, Stills & Nash 及Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young的團員，他同時也是一位多產的音樂人，尤其近年來他幾近以瘋狂的步伐發行新的音樂。

  David Crosby 1941年出生於加州洛杉磯，父親是是經典西部片《日正當中》 High Noon的攝影師Floyd Crosby。David Crosby曾多次因吸毒觸法，曾在電影《浴火赤子情》Backdraft等片客串演出。

  David Crosby一生成績最好的歌是The Byrds時期的Turn! Turn! Turn，曾獲Billboard Hot 100排行榜三週冠軍，另一首冠軍曲Mr.Tambourine Man則是滾石雜誌RS500第75名的名曲。他後來在Crosby, Stills & Nash時期成績最好的歌則是1977年的Just a Song Before I Go(#7)。

Turn! Turn! Turn是Pete Seeger 1959年寫的一首歌。歌詞由聖經《傳道書》第三章的前八節組成，除了標題在整首歌中都重複出現，結尾總結:「愛有時，恨也有時，和平的時刻我發誓還不晚 」很有60年代晚期風味。

 

Turn! Turn! Turn

Lyrics：Pete Seeger

 

To everything turn, turn, turn

There is a season turn, turn, turn

And a time to every purpose under Heaven

A time to be born, a time to die

A time to plant, a time to reap

A time to kill, a time to heal

A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything turn, turn, turn

There is a season turn, turn, turn

And a time to every purpose under Heaven

A time to buid up, a time to break down

A time to dance, a time to mourn

A time to cast away stones

A time to gather stones together

To everything turn, turn, turn

There is a season turn, turn, turn

And a time to every purpose under Heaven

A time of love, a time of hate

A time of war, a time of peace

A time you may embrace

A time to refrain from embracing

To everything turn, turn, turn

There is a season turn, turn, turn

And a time to every purpose under Heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose

A time to rain, a time of sow

A time for love, a time for hate

A time for peace, I swear it's not too late
