On this day June 21, 1982, Crosby Stills and Nash released their seventh album Daylight Again. Originally begun as a project by Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, the album eventually brought David Crosby back into the fold, resulting in the full reunion fans had long been waiting for. The record featured the hit singles Wasted on the Way and Southern Cross, both of which received heavy radio play and video rotation on the newly launched MTV.
Daylight Again reached number 8 on the Billboard charts, reaffirming the group’s place in the changing musical landscape of the 80s. With a polished production and smooth harmonies, the album appealed to both longtime fans and a new generation discovering the trio through television screens rather than turntables.
80s insight: Daylight Again proved that legacy acts from the 60s and 70s could still find success in the 80s by adapting their sound and embracing new media platforms like MTV.
