In the late 1960s, George Harrison rejected one of Laurel Canyon’s most famous groups, Crosby, Stills & Nash. The trio hoped to score a recording contract with The Beatles’ newly established record label, Apple Records.
Apparently, they weren’t exactly what George had in mind.
After a fan tweeted about George rejecting Crosby, Stills & Nash, David Crosby explained what went down.
Crosby tweeted, “Did not record for them…live audition…sang the whole first record in London to George and Peter Asher …Apple passed on a number one record there …..ahh well …everybody makes mistakes ….Bet they regretted it later.”
Another fan replied, “Wow… I can’t imagine someone hearing ‘Suite: Judy Blue Eyes‘ at a live audition and deciding to pass.” Crosby responded that the trio was surprised too.
