Background on the song Empress Joy The song was written by Stephen Stills with help from Richard Curtis and Michael Curtis. In the CSN boxed set, Stills explained: "The Curtis Brothers brought a wonderful song called 'Seven League Boots,' but it drifted around too much. I rewrote a new set of words and added a different chorus, a story about a long boat trip I took after my divorce. It's about using the power of the universe to heal your wounds. Once again, I was given somebody's gem and cut and polished it."

Crosby, Stills and Nash will always exist, even if the members pass, their beautiful harmonies are legend. Funny, I am 69, remember when this song came out in 1982, and it is still as breathtakingly beautiful to me today as it was when I first heard it..

@@EMPRESSJOYJEAN David Crosby passed in January. In addition to CSN and CSNY, Crosby started a band in the 2000s, CPR, after reuniting with his son, James Raymond, whom he had given up for adoption decades prior.

One of my all time favorite bands especially when they teamed up with Neil Young! Empress you will enjoy listening to Crosby Stills and Nash singing live at Woodstock the song titled “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” it’s an absolute joy to hear especially the live from Woodstock version! They are a mixture of rock and folk. David Crosby passed away in January of this year and the other two are still alive. Thank you for a wonderful reaction for perfect Sunday listening to song while cooking!

Are you aware that Judy Blue Eyes is about Steven Stills' girl friend at the time Judy Collins.

Before they became Crosby, Stills, and Nash. David Crosby was in The Byrds, Stephen Stills was in Buffalo Springfield and Graham Nash was in The Hollies. Their first Gig was Woodstock.

Beautiful. Thank you Darlin💙💜💖

One of my favorite CSN songs. The first time I heard it it wasn't just the lyrics that grabbed me, it was the way they blended their harmonies together. It is still on my playlist after all these years. Another of my favorites is OUR HOUSE, probably my favorite song.

Empress you should listen to the studio version. Their harmony in fantastic!

Thanks for reacting honey, your beautiful... Darealdeal

The BEST ROCK group ever for Men's Vocal Harmony!!

Stills is a Texas treasure!

Great song love the song great reaction by you again thank you so much for sharing this with us love it Joy.👍

.. Yup, soft folk rock is what it be called! 🙂

Live or studio they are like that special Mason jar of sweet preserves. Excellent harmony. I glad you enjoyed my dear.

Hi Ms. Empress, This is a Great Song.. ♠W.G.

So the lead singer (in this song) is Stephen Stills. He is also the best musician in the group...but together they are Crosby Stills and Nash!

Have you listened to more ??? Oh my goodness your in for so much more ❤

The first CSN album was full of winners front to back. Put it on and enjoy.

I had the privilege of seeing them when they last came to Australia. Just phenomenal! I don't think anyone does better harmonies than CSN. You should listen to Carry Me, Bittersweet, WInchester Cathedral, Yours and Mine and Our House. It's a mine well worth following and you will not be disappointed!

This amazing 👏 ty I remember seeing the southern cross stars 🌟 I realized it had no genre. Ty again

You are right, classic soft rock.

Hi. These men know how to make a great song and perform it like they do. I think this music belongs to the genre that hippie people like .. and me too. Thanks for this Joy-Jean💋

Folk rock is this genre.

Great song ,great reaction,sure glad you enjoyed it 😊keep up the great work

If you love voices, then CSN and CSN&Y are for you!! The Y is for when Neil Young joins them.

Lil soft-rock, lil folk. You got it.

If this is your first time listening to Crosby, Stills and Nash you haven't heard anything yet! Look for the song "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" Your mind will be blown

Please react to Time to Say Goodbye by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman live in 1997! Such a beautiful song and amazing performance. You will not regret it!

Time gets us all but they still sound good on this version but I love the version I first heard on the radio back in 1982.

A popular song by Crosby, Stills, & Nash. I'd put this in either in folk rock or yacht rock genre. It could be put in both genres.

@@EMPRESSJOYJEAN Not a commonly known label of music. Yacht rock is a broad music style commonly associated with soft rock, one of the most commercially successful genres from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. Drawing on sources such as smooth soul, smooth jazz, R&B, and disco, common stylistic traits include high-quality production, clean vocals, and a focus on light, catchy melodies.

One of my top five favorite bands. Stephen Stills on the right singing lead. David Crosby on the left and Graham Nash in the center singing high harmonies. Try Wooden Ships and Carry On by them.

They mostly did folk rock. Some people call this yacht rock. 🤷🏻

Stephen Stills has one of my all time favorite voices!!

Empress...this song IS Soft Rock, and also Soft Folk Rock, it checks both boxes. Mr. "Raspy Voice" is Stephen Stills and he has great power AND range in his voice. Mr. "High Harmony" in the center is Graham Nash, and yes, he has an angelic voice and incredible pure high notes and falsetto. ;)

I can't put my finger on it, but this song speaks to me like none other. It is my all-time favorite.

One of their last big hits and also one of my personal favorites! ate dinner at a table next to Stephen Stills and Kenny Wayne Shepperd in Shreveport, LA about 8 years ago; my wife knew Kenny Wayne as she'd booked him for a big concert a couple of years earlier so she went over to say hi and ended up visiting with them for 15 minutes. Good people!! Oh, yes, it is adult contemporary rock.

The high notes are sung by Graham Nash!

Think it's there best song!

Growing up in Florida, I was surrounded by music. Several local bands. I knew sound systems back then and helped with sound boards for them. On several occasions I got on stage for backing vocals. Bass/baritone. This song was always a favorite at local events.

You can call it soft rock. They also have roots in folk music. They're known for their tremendous 3 part harmony! I'd love to hear you react to more of their songs. They have a lot of great ones like Teach Your Children, Woodstock, Helpless, Ohio, Our House, Suite - Judy Blue Eyes and Wooden Ships.

We just so enjoy seeing you review this music from our "Baby Boomer" years in the States. So glad you enjoy it.

We would of called this Contempory Rock!❤or Folk Rock

Its folk music. Very popular in the 60s. Great talent.

just good stuff
