The Untold Truth Of Neil Young

From his early days playing rhythm and blues with Rick James in Canada to his mysterious disappearing act at Woodstock with Crosby, Stills Nash and Young, the legendary singer songwriter Neil Young has been an icon of the counterculture movement.

But hits like “Ohio,” “Old Man,” “Heart of Gold,” “Cinnamon Girl,” “Rockin’ in the Free World,” and “The Needle and the Damage Done” only tell part of the story of the man who famously feuded with Lynyrd Skynyrd in the 70s and jammed with Pearl Jam in the 90s. For the rest of the story, you’ll have to learn the untold truth of Neil Young.

I grew up in the late 60s and thru out the 70s and what I think of Neil young is this. Commitment, talent, genius lyrist and a true musical icon. I've listened to his music my entire life and was even his neighbor for a short time when he owned a beach home down street from my house. I could go on about this musician but I think his body of work speaks for itself. Thank you Neil 👍♥️

Still waiting to hear the “untold” truth about Neil Young.

[seanmcaleavy]

There was not a single piece of information here that was previously "untold".

It's amazing Rick James and Neil Young were in the same band together!

[lexbeltran]

Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well I heard ol' Neil put her down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow

It's really amazing to think how the incident with the "Mynah Birds" changed music history, most likely for the better! Who knows if "Neil" would have become the Neil Young we all know if the Mynah Birds had gone forward. And it's hard to imagine a less likely person to be in a band with Neil Young than Rick James!

Many musicians are critical of each other's music and that is fine they are all artists and unique and all of their ways. Neil Young is a rock and roll icon he seems from his heart and his lyrics and music elevate everyone who listens to him. Thank you Neil for expressing your unique talent and gifts to the world.

[Sunfried]

Let's face it folks: We're not gonna hear the untold truth about Neil from someone who sounds like a teenager.

[allanbrown]

So much bad luck, so much good luck, such a hard-working musician a special guy, and so many fans.

[tompease]

Terrific talent plays a very different style of electric guitar also a very good accoustic

[jackinthewoodsii]

Did Neil approve of this "documentary" ? Maybe we should make our own documentary about you !

[wilharrison]

The voice that makes nails on a chalkboard feel like a nap in an easy chair

That video of Neil Young singing live at 27... Blew my mind. So much soul! It gave me the same feels as listening to an 8 year old Michael singing Who's Loving You...

I dislike it when entertainers call themselves artists, but Neil Young is a true musician, singer, songwriter, and artist!

4 Dead in Ohio was written in two days after the massacre at Kent State on May 4, 1969 those were truly great artist that had a social conscience and were able to put it to music
