BMG remembers recording artist, publishing client, author and subject of the critically acclaimed film Remember My Name, David Crosby, who passed away January 19, 2023 at the age of 81. Crosby initially joined BMG in 2017, signing a publishing deal, before several recordings deals, his acclaimed film, and later books project.

Crosby, a renowned singer-songwriter and guitarist, joined The Byrds in 1964, notably topping the charts in 1965 with their cover of ‘Mr. Tambourine Man’. He would go on to form the Grammy award-winning Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN) in 1968, before Neil Young joined the band adding his name (CSN&Y) prior to their legendary performance at the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in 1969.

A two-time inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for his work with both The Byrds and CSN, Crosby released his first solo album If I Could Only Remember My Name in 1971. He would go on to release dozens of works before his passing.

In 2019, BMG released the critically-acclaimed Sundance Film Festival documentary David Crosby: Remember My Name, produced by Cameron Crowe and directed by A.J. Eaton, which would go on to earn a Grammy nomination for Best Music Film.

A prolific recording artist, BMG released Crosby’s final four albums including Sky Trails in 2017, Here If You Listen in 2018, For Free in 2021, and his most recent album David Crosby & The Lighthouse Band Live At The Capitol Theatre in 2022.

BMG is also the catalogue home of Crosby’s works with CPR (Crosby, Pevar & Raymond), featuring guitarist Jeff Pevar and pianist James Raymond, Crosby's son, reissuing their collective two studio and two live albums Live At Cuesta College, CPR, Live At The Wiltern, and Just Like Gravity in 2020.

In 2022, BMG released the book collection The Byrds 1964-1967, authored by the band’s three surviving founding members, Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman, and David Crosby, depicting a unique visual history of the group.
