In 1997, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame witnessed one of its most heartfelt and unforgettable moments. As Crosby, Stills & Nash took the stage for their induction, the audience was treated to a deeply moving performance of their classic anthem, “Teach Your Children.” Joining them were two musical greats — James Taylor and Emmylou Harris — whose voices blended seamlessly into the harmony, turning the moment into pure magic.
“Teach Your Children,” written by Graham Nash and released in 1970, has always carried a message of wisdom, empathy, and connection between generations. But on that night, its meaning seemed to expand — becoming not just a song, but a reflection on legacy and shared humanity.
James Taylor’s warm, soothing vocals wrapped around the melody like an old friend’s embrace, while Emmylou Harris’s angelic harmonies lifted the song to a place that felt timeless. Together with Crosby, Stills & Nash, they created something that felt both nostalgic and alive — a reminder of why this music still matters.
More than just a performance, it was a celebration — of friendship, artistry, and the enduring power of song to bridge the years between us. Even decades later, that night still echoes as one of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s most beautiful tributes to harmony, in every sense of the word.
