Today's Forgotten Oldie...

Buffalo Springfield was one of the most talented bands of the 60's.  Featuring Neil Young, Steven Stills, Richie Furay and Jim Messina, Buffalo Springfield members have appeared on literally hundreds of records and influenced rock and roll greatly.  Their big single, For What It;s Worth, was their only top ten hit... but another song, Bluebird, became the band's signature song.  Released as a single in 1967, Bluebird climbed to #58 on the hot 100... and then stopped. But the song was performed by Buffalo Springfield on many TV appearances, as well as becoming their swan song at their final concert in May of 1968.  It's a tremendous song, my favorite Buffalo Springfield song... and today's Forgotten Oldie!
