About this photograph
On September 18, 1969, one month after their appearance at Woodstock, Jack Robinson photographed the newly formed supergroup of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Earlier in 1969, David Crosby, who had been a co-founder of The Byrds, Stephen Stills, who had played with Buffalo Springfield, and Graham Nash, who had been with The Hollies, released the album Crosby, Stills & Nash to great acclaim. Later they would be joined by Neil Young, who had also played with Buffalo Springfield, for the album that would appear in early 1970 under the title Déja vu. Vogue noted that “sharp thinkers all as well as onstage wits,” they all write songs and sing soaring harmonies.” Photographed here is David Crosby.

About the photographer
Jack Robinson, Jr. (1928-1997), born in Meridian, Mississippi, became a renowned fashion and portrait photographer after moving to New York City in 1955. He quickly gained recognition through assignments with the New York Times and Life Magazine. His career peaked at Vogue, where he photographed celebrities like Elton John, Joni Mitchell, and The Who from 1965 to 1973. Despite his success, Robinson struggled with personal issues and relocated to Memphis in the early 1970s, where he shifted to designing award-winning stained glass. His extensive photographic archive, discovered posthumously, underscored his significant contributions to photography.
