He would later, head off to military school in Tampa, Florida. As Stephen puts it, he witnessed great music in in Florida, heard and played on back porches, "incredible music" floating over the orange groves. Picking up blues sounds, along with his dad's old blues records. Also, he would be a traveler, traveling with his parents, from Louisiana, to Cuba. Enriching his soul with everything from Bluegrass, to Latin beats. Prior to 1964, he was in a group called the Company, in which he met a future bandmate Neil Young, and they agreed to keep contact, even though they were working in other projects. In 1964 he would join his future bandmate, Richie Furray in folk group called "The Au Go Go Singers." Stephen's broad vocals would carry even in the earliest o More...

Stephen Stills - "Different Man" | Reviewer: CelticCanine ------ About the song Different Man performed by Stephen Stills "Different Man" reminds me somewhat of "Stateline Blues," but is much more addictive. If you like the simplicity of a singer and an acoustic guitar, it doesn't get any better than this. Stills continues to have the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. The song is short, bluesy-folksy (in a good way), no frills, and it stays on your mind. Buy it, and set your player to repeat; you can't listen to it only once in a sitting. The hit that got away | Reviewer: Shirley P. ------ About the song Closer to You performed by Stephen Stills Everytime that someone tells me that Stephen Stills stopped writing truly great, memorable songs after he broke up his band Manassas (in 1973) THIS is one of first songs I refer them to:"Closer to You". It comes off what I think is surely one of the finest albums he ever did "Illegal Stills" from 1976. This song is-in every sense of the word-GREAT song writing! It has everything a well-crafted song requires:a good & engaging story, sensitive, evocative and thoughtful lyrics, truly beautiful music and an excellent arrangement, all served up with a vocal performance that I personally consider one of THE BEST that Stephen Stills ever gave! Here, he was at-IMHO-the PEAK of his vocal prowess:his voice honey-sweet, his delivery sure in its command. The emotion is deeply felt, and sincere without being maudlin. I've always believed that Stills was vastly underrated as a singer, and this song certainly provides a STRONG argument in favor of rating him as among the BEST! In looking back on Stills' career, I'll always consider this song the "hit" that got away, sadly. Hopefully, with Stills' recent brush with cancer and the resulting new rush of media attention it brought his way, folks who haven't done a retrospect on his SOLO career(or those who haven't taken a listen to it for SOME years)will get curious and take the time to do so. When they do, it's my hope that they will do themselves a BIG favor and check out "Illegal Stills" and in particular this lovely song. It WON'T disappoint! This song makes me smile | Reviewer: Gloria Guevara-Peters ------ About the song Stranger performed by Stephen Stills The lyrics to this song reminds me of one of the best memories of my life. In the summer of 1976 when I was 21 years old I went to a Stephen Stills concert with Manassas. I had a bad seat (behind a pole), so I walked outside and decided to go outside to wait for Stephen Stills to arrive. As his car drove in, his manager walked up to me and gave me a backstage pass. Later backstage I kept watching Stephen Stills walking from one end of the hall to the other. As he walked, he would occassionally look my direction to watch me watching him. Then at the end of the hall he stopped, turned, walked directly towards me and stood right in front of me. He was very quiet. I tried to make conversation with him, but he just kept looking at me and responded only with body language (shrugging his shoulders, nodding his head). He did not talk. After about five minutes he went back to his dressing room. Someone else came out to hand me a pass to the dressing room where Stephen Stills was sitting on a folding chair and talking to a visitor to his concert(horse jockey, I was told). I stood there taking pictures of Stephen Stills until he got up to start his concert. Another man came up to me, gave me his address, asked me if I could mail him my pictures of Stephen Stills and offered me money for them. I could never bring myself to selling those pictures, so I kept them for me. I suppose this song is about the many times he's been in concert and the many young ladies he invites to see him up close. I was one of those young ladies. It was wonderful experience. where to find this song | Reviewer: david u ------ About the song Treetop Flyer performed by Stephen Stills this song is on a new cd stills released over the summer (2007), i believe, called "just roll tape", which was a cd he recorded in 1968 that never was distributed Stills - "Black Queen" | Reviewer: Scott Gagel ------ About the song Black Queen performed by Stephen Stills Guitar virtuoso Stephen Stills went back to delta blues and his deep southern heritage when he wrote Black Queen. While the lyrics may be considered understated, most blues songs are, no matter the writer. What sets this song apart is his unbelievable acoutice guitar. The original recording was live with no overdubbing or corrections work in the studio - - one take. If you ever had a doubt about Stills acoustice guitar expertise, then listen to this song. I've played guitar for 35 years and played many Stills songs along with CSN songs, but I have never been able to quite master this one. I can play the notes and chords in this D tuning, but never with the crazy fervor with which he plays it - - such emotion and raw, almost vicious string attack and powerful vocals that the guitar and Stills seem as though they are one with each other. I hope you enjoy this song from a master acoustic guitarist and singer as much as I do. It's one of a few songs I've heard that I never get tired of hearing it. Listen and feel the song. What style picking | Reviewer: Rod Boyette ------ About the song Treetop Flyer performed by Stephen Stills Can someone tell me what style of picking Stephen Stills uses on Tree Top Flyer? Absolutely great song and I want to learn how to pick it like Mr. Stills does. Best song Stephen has ever written | Reviewer: alec kuracina ------ About the song Word Game performed by Stephen Stills and he has written some GREAT songs. His live performance of the song ALWAYS rises to the occasion. Stephen Stills is one of the most brilliant members of the baby boom generation, leaving even William Jefferson (Bill) Clinton in the dust. WHERE I FIRST HEARD THIS SONG. | Reviewer: JOE WOOD ------ About the song Treetop Flyer performed by Stephen Stills IN 1990 ONE OF MY ENTERTAINERS FOR MY BAR PLAYED TREE TOP FLYER. I LOVED THE SONG. HE PLAYED IT I D TUNING. HE LEARNED IT FROM A VIDEO TAPE OF A STEVEN STILLS LIVE SHOW. AT THE TIME IT WASN'T ON ANY ALBUM THAT I COULD FIND. I PLAY A LITTLE AND TURNED A BUNCH OF MY FRIENDS ON TO IT JUST LAST NIGHT AT SNEAKY PETE'S IN LOVELY ANTIGUA WEST INDIES. JIMMY BUFFET HAS IT ON A CD. DOES STEVEN STILLS HAVE IT ANYWHERE? PEACE, JOE WOOD first time | Reviewer: Linda ------ About the song Spanish Suite performed by Stephen Stills I heard it a few months ago for the first time. it is indeed an composition instead of just a record, i instantly fell in love with it. as I almost everytime to when Stephen sings Right on the mark | Reviewer: Doug Kelly ------ About the song Stranger performed by Stephen Stills I was glad to see the lyrics to this song in here. I know it's an old one but then so am I sort of. I've always been pretty good at getting the lines but I had a few wrong on this one but know I've got it. Thank you! Everybody's Talkin' at Me | Reviewer: guillermo ------ About the song Everybody's Talkin' at Me performed by Stephen Stills I want get the sheet and the sound of this song please if you can send me I¨ll apreciate the favor thanks Treetop Flyer | Reviewer: Steve ------ About the song Treetop Flyer performed by Stephen Stills Where too Can I buy this Song Really liked it Heard it on the radio last night Great Guitar too! 1/30/2006 | Reviewer: Kevin Mckinney ------ About the song Spanish Suite performed by Stephen Stills An unexpected gem, thoughtful, well-performed and produced. Guest pianist Herbie Hancock is on fire; his performance alone justifies the price of the entire album, but there's a lot else to like about this track as well. Highly recommended. Masterpiece | Reviewer: Matt Bennett ------ About the song Spanish Suite performed by Stephen Stills Stephen Stills has created a masterpiece! The more I listen to this song, the more I hear. Spanish Suite reminds me of another Suite, Judy Blue Eyes. The melodies are haunting (particularly the "I gave up on you" section), the guitar playing is impeccable and the lyrics poignant. It was worth the wait for Mr. Stills to create another classic. Treetop Flyer | Reviewer: Rod Boyette ------ About the song Treetop Flyer performed by Stephen Stills I really enjoyed this song and I want to know where I can buy it.
