ON this date in 1966 - Neil Young, Stephen Stills and Richie Furay formed Buffalo Springfield.

Percussionists Bun Man and Mr. Purple were all set to join the group but a fall out over whether the band would wear Beatles Suits or 'just be themselves' ensued and the Boyz moved on; later joining Santana.

Buffalo Springfield would be the springboard for Poco; Loggins and Messina; CSN; CSN&Y; Manassas; Souther-Hillman-Furay Band; and the Eagles.

What a legacy...
