Who was David Crosby’s mother Aliph Van Cortland Whitehead?

David Van Cortlandt Crosby is the second child of Aliph Van Cortlandt Whitehead, a sales associate at Macy’s, and Oscar-winning cinematographer Floyd Crosby, who previously worked on Wall Street. He was born in Los Angeles, California.

For their debut album, CSN won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1969. Neil Young joined the group for live performances prior to recording their second album, Déjà Vu, their second being at Woodstock.

It was envisioned that Crosby and Nash would be able to collaborate freely. They had three gold albums in the 1970s, and the core trio of CSN were still around from 1976 to 2016. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY) held reunion concerts every decade from the 1970s to the 2000s.
