Richie Furay!
After starting his musical career as a solo artist and member of various folk groups, RICHIE FURAY formed BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD in 1967 with Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Bruce Palmer and Dewey Martin. Buffalo Springfield’s debut album included the hit single “For What It’s Worth.” The band went on to record two more albums before disbanding in 1968.
In 1968, Furay formed one of the first “country-rock hybrid bands,” POCO along with Jim Messina (who had replaced Palmer in Buffalo Springfield), Rusty Young, George Grantham, and Randy Meisner (quickly replaced by Timothy B. Schmidt). Poco recorded 6 albums with Furay at the helm, including the classics “Pickin’ Up The Pieces” and “A Good Feeling To Know.”
Soon after departing Poco, Furay participated in Souther-Hillman-Furay Band (with J.D. Souther and Chris Hillman (of The Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers). The SHF band’s hit single was Furay’s “Falling In Love.”
After three solo albums in the ‘70’s, Furay, headed home to Colorado where he is the pastor of a Calvary Chapel Church.
Furay has since released two excellent inspiration albums, “In My Father’s House” and “I Am Sure.” In 1997, Buffalo Springfield was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Over the past few years, Furay has made a limited number of live appearances, both solo and with Poco, Chris Hillman, and Jim Messina.
