Fuzzy Samuel (CSN&Y, Manassas)

I play things with strings…”

 

As a bassist for Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, David Crosby, and Neil Young in their innumerable configurations – Calvin “Fuzzy” Samuels complimented his bandleaders’ wayward folk, rock, blues, and country yearnings with soulful bass passages borne of his love for Muddy Waters, Count Basie, and Fats Domino.

 

 

Nowadays Fuzzy is a bandleader who records under his own name – which, incidentally, does not include the last “s” in his surname.
