Trivia

Father, with Véronique Sanson, of Christopher Stills.

Auditioned for "The Monkees" (1966), and was turned down - not because of a lack of talent, but because his hair and teeth were beginning to fall out, and the show's producers thought he'd look too old for the role. Stills recommended his friend (and former roommate) Peter Tork, who resembled him, to the producers. Tork passed his audition, and became a Monkee.

The only artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice in the same night. He was inducted for his work with Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills and Nash.

Dated Rita Coolidge.

Relationship with singer Judy Collins inspired the CS&N hit "Suite Judy Blue Eyes".

Biggest solo hit was "Love the One You're With" in 1971.
