The trio's first eponymous album was released in May 1969 and was an immediate hit, spawning two Top 40 hit singles and receiving key airplay on the new FM radio format.
In late summer 1969, the trio expanded to a quartet with Neil Young with the name changing to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (commonly referred to by their initials CSNY).
In the years since, they have reformed as Crosby, Stills & Nash for several albums and tours.

The lyrics of Crosby Stills & Nash's song "In My Dreams" depict a dream-like experience in which the singer observes dancers who seem to effortlessly glide around without ever touching the ground. The dancers appear to be familiar with each other, and the singer finds himself hoping to see his lover's face alone while also wondering if anyone is home. The singer is surrounded by two or three people who keep fading in and out of his consciousness like a radio station that he can't quite tune into, leaving him feeling adrift-looking for someone to steer him.
The singer observes the dancers with envy, wishing to join them in their blissful state. He then turns to his lover and urges them to introduce themselves to whichever version of him is standing nearby since he is stuck without any instructions to steer by. While struggling to make sense of everything, the singer ponders whether he will ever find the love he desires like the one he sees in his dreams.
The song's lyrics offer a dreamy, introspective commentary on the challenges of finding love and feeling a sense of belonging in the world. The singer longs for a deep connection with a lover and finds himself enviously watching others seemingly effortlessly move through life in sync. The themes of uncertainty and confusion are strong, underscoring the difficulty of navigating life's treacherous waters.

Look at those dancers gliding around
Observe those people dancing and moving smoothly

Saw Graham Nash last week in Gateshead, he sang this song.
Absolutely beautiful, possibly about his love for Joni Mitchell.
His voice still amazing
