  David Crosby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Van Cortland Crosby (born August 14, 1941 in Los Angeles, California) is a guitarist, singer, and songwriter.
David Crosby moved through the same Greenwich Village scene Bob Dylan participated in, and even shared a mentor of Dylan's in a local scene favourite Fred Neil.
Crosby is one of the few musicians who found fame in the 1960s who genuinely deserves more credit for his music than he has ever got; unfortunately, all too often, occasional moments that have made the news – basically related to drug abuse and drug related paranoia – have made people forget his excellent songwriting.

 VH1.com : David Crosby : Biography
Crosby was born in Los Angeles on August 14, 1941; the son of Academy Award-winning cinematographer Floyd Crosby, he dropped out of drama school to pursue a career in music, touring the folk club circuit and recording as a member of the Les Baxter Balladeers.
Under the auspices of producer Jim Dickson, Crosby cut his first solo session in late 1963; early the following year he formed the Jet Set with Jim McGuinn and Gene Clark, and with the additions of bassist Chris Hillman and drummer Michael Clarke, the group was rechristened the Byrds.
In late 1985 Crosby was sentenced to prison after fleeing the drug rehabilitation clinic he'd entered in lieu of serving out a previous jail term; upon his release the following August, he'd finally conquered his demons, later chronicling the ugly details of his addiction in the fine autobiography Long Time Gone.
