Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young | Teach Your Children (1970)

"Teach Your Children" is a song written by Graham Nash in 1968 when he was a member of the Hollies.

Although it was never recorded by that group in a studio, the Hollies did record it live in 1983.


The song first appeared on the album Déjà Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, released in 1970.


As a single, the song peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts that year.


On the Easy Listening chart, it peaked at No. 28. In Canada, "Teach Your Children" reached No. 8.


Reviewing the song, Cash Box commented on the "incredible soft harmony luster" and "delicately composed material."


Stephen Stills gave the song its "country swing", replacing the "Henry VIII" style of Nash's original demo.
