SUMMARY
David Crosby, the iconic American rock musician and founding member of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills, and Nash, passed away at the age of 81 after a long illness, reportedly related to Covid-19. His unique vocal style, often described as nasal, blended seamlessly with the harmonies of CSN, creating a sound that was almost indistinguishable as a single voice.

"Carry on" was with Neil Young. No way I thought his voice would fit in with CSN, too nasal. I cannot hear it though, only when he sings on his own.
Anyway the harmony is insane on this. Not the arrangement itself (which is great) but the fact they get could get this sound, almost like it's one voice. That's what they could do.
Brilliant.
