Formation and Debut
Before starting the trio, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash had found reasonable commercial success as part of other bands like The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and The Hollies. Stills and Crosby met after Buffalo Springfield disbanded and were later joined by Nash. The trio also collaborated with the multi-instrumentalist, Neil Young for jamming sessions.
Crosby, Stills & Nash signed a recording contract with the Atlantic Records and made their official debut by releasing their self-titled record in 1969. The album turned out to be a top ten record on the Billboard 200 and was eventually certified as Multi-Platinum. The group gained on road success with their iconic live performance at the Woodstock Festival.

Crosby, Stills & Nash released their second studio record, Déjà Vu in 1970 and it hit the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart.
