Inductees: Richie Furay (vocals, guitar; born May 9, 1944), Dewey Martin (drums; born September 30, 1940; died February 1, 2009), Bruce Palmer (bass; born September 9, 1946; died October 1, 2004); Stephen Stills (vocals, guitar; born January 3, 1945), Neil Young (vocals, guitar; born November 12, 1945)Buffalo Springfield was an American supergroup that didn’t exist long enough to be recognized as such. Though the band’s tenure was short, Buffalo Springfield was a pivotal rock group with an organic, home-grown musical approach that reverberated beyond the Sixties. Along with the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield laid the groundwork for the folk-rock and country-rock genres that took root in the Seventies. They produced two of rock’s greatest guitarists in Neil Young and Stephen Stills. Their three albums – Buffalo Springfield, Buffalo Springfield Again and Last Time Around – wove together strands of folk, country, pop, soul and rock. Buffalo Springfield also recorded one of rock’s greatest topical songs, “For What It’s Worth.” A cautionary number inspired by clashes between police and youthful protesters on Los Angeles’ Sunset Strip, it was the only Buffalo Springfield single to make the Top 40, reaching Number Seven in 1967.The five original members of Buffalo Springfield converged on California from different backgrounds and locales. Guitarists Stephen Stills and Richie Furay had been members of the Au Go-Go Singers, a nine-member folk group. Furay had been born in Ohio and had attended Otterbein College. He then went to New York, where he initially played in a folk trio before joining the Au Go-Go Singers… More about Buffalo Springfield in the link below… https://www.rhino.com/article/buffalo-springfield
