His real name was David Van Cortlandt. Rich family, OLD money. He pretended to be a hippy and got a disproportionate amount of press despite being just a harmonizer.

Grace Slick was another Hippy who grew up extremely wealthy. Slick’s family was one of the wealthiest and most established families in San Francisco.

Descendants of the Van Rensselaer family... of Rensselaer Polytechnic.

No. His birth name was David Van Cortlandt Crosby.

Van Cortland was his mother, Crosby was his father, who was a well known Hollywood cinematographer.

Yeah, Crosby was known to be a jerk, but he had a lot more talent than you are giving him credit for. No need to disparage the dead.
