He was born in Blackpool, England[?], during World War II, and in the early 1960s was a leading member of The Hollies[?], one of the UK's most successful pop groups ever. Although recognised as a key member of the group, he seldom sang lead vocals.
In 1968, after a visit to the USA at which he had been introduced to David Crosby in Laurel Canyon[?] and had begun experimenting with drugs, Nash left the Hollies at the height of their fame, to form a new group with Crosby and Stephen Stills. With them, he went on to even greater worldwide success.
