Crazy Horse is a rock band best known for its association with Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young. It has been co-credited on a number of albums throughout Young's career, from Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969) to Live at the Fillmore East (2006). In addition the group has released five albums of its own. The band's origins date back to 1963 and the Los Angeles-based a cappella doo wop group Danny And The Memories, which consisted of main singer Danny Whitten and supporting vocalists Lou Bisbal (soon to be replaced by Bengiamino Rocco), Billy Talbot, and Ralph Molina. The latter two would become Crazy Horse stalwarts and be the only members present in every incarnation of the band. Making its way to San Francisco and back to Los Angeles again, the group evolved over the course of several years into the Rockets, a psychedelic folk hybrid comprising Whitten on guitar, Talbot on bass, Molina on drums, Bobby Notkoff on violin, and brothers Leon and George Whitsell also on guitars. This lineup recorded the Rockets' only album, a self-titled set released in 1968. With their album complete, the Rockets made a point of reconnecting with Neil Young, whom they had met two years prior
