Trivia / Stephen Stills

• Beam Me Up, Scotty!: No, it's called "For What It's Worth" and not "Stop!", "What's That Sound" or a combination of both (although the single had a subtitle "Stop! What's That Sound" by Executive Meddling). Also by Word of God, "We Are Not Helpless" is definitely not a Take That! to Neil Young.
• Breakup Breakout: Stills' first band, the Au Go-Go Singers, got some following on the New York folk scene and even managed to record an album, but then fell apart. Stills with his band companion Richie Furay then came across a young aspiring folk and rock singer from Canada named Neil Young and gradually assembled Buffalo Springfield, which had a much larger success and following. Then after Springfield broke up, Stephen started working with two other refugees from famous groups, Crosby and Nash; together they started CSN, which had country-wide major success.
• Executive Meddling: Daylight Again was meant to be a Graham Nash - Stephen Stills album, but the recording company insisted to make it a Crosby Stills & Nash LP, despite the fact that Crosby was at the time in no shape to work in a studio because of a rampant drug problem and ended up contributing some harmony vocals alone.
• Signature Song: "For What It's Worth", "Love The One You're With", "Treetop Flyer", "4+20".
• What Could Have Been: A number of CSNY albums that never materialized, most notably the 1974 short reunion (given Neil was at all-time career high then as a songwriter). Stills also began working with Jimi Hendrix on the latter's never completed fifth album and was seriously considered to replace Noel Redding in The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
