Just from these pictures alone,it was obvious that there was a chemistry between Graham Nash and Cass Elliot.I obviously can't say they were both in love with each other,but there was something present.

@landrykkb Thanks for commenting.I think they were only good friends as Graham was involved with Joni Mitchell

[landrykkb]

@ocnarfeara No,I knew he was involved and even living with Joni Mitchell,hence the song Our House that he wrote about her,I was just saying there was something there,that's all.Joni,by the way,is a fellow Canadian who did well for herself abroad.

@landrykkb I know that..I read somewhere in the web that Graham even wanted to form a group with Crosby and Cass before CSN, but Cass declined... it's a pitty...it would be a fantastic super group..

Clapton with Micky Dolenz of the Monkees, at that.

I believe it was at Cass' home where CS&N first sang together at her behest. Thanks to Mama Cass for her great vision. Also, another great video production ocanfeara!

I love these photos! Great montage -- thanks for sharing!

The image at 2:51 hangs in my house, signed and numbered by Henry ....I get chills when I realize how cool it is to have that piece of history!

I have heard Graham say many times that he and Cass were just friends. But I've often wondered too....

[MrBadgerland]

[ModGirl1967]

They had Cass dialed waaaaay back in the mix...darn it...

Outrageous images! Think of all the music and laughs that faded into the mist during that short time. God, I can remember all that stuff happening. Everything was a big party. Can you imagine Joni and Cass harmonizing? Maybe add David and Graham? Wow. Yep. Back then was a time of discovery and "free love" that permeated the country, maybe the world. It was a good time to be growing up. sigh. Hey, isn't that Mickey Dolenz holding the camera in the mixed plate around :28?
