Nash is one of the most durable and prominent supporting
figures in rock music history. As a harmony singer and
sometime lead singer with the Hollies and Crosby, Stills,
Nash, and Young, his voice is among the most familiar
in two distinct eras and schools of rock music. He has
since gone on to a productive if usually unexceptional
career as a singer/songwriter, both as a solo artist and,
more often, in collaboration with David Crosby. He has
also reunited periodically with Crosby and Stephen Stills
and, more rarely, with Neil Young, and the occasional
project with the Hollies.Graham Nash's musical future
was determined on the day in 1947 when he met Allan Clarke,
the new boy in his class at the Ordsall Primary School.
They became friends, and it turned out that one of the
interests that they shared was music. They both sang in
choir, and discovered that their voices complimented each
other very well. Unfortunately, there was no such thing
as rock & roll at the time, and their spontaneous
musical efforts together didn't begin until the 1950s.
