It was on July 3 in 1968 that David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash sang together for the first time.  It was at a party at Joni Mitchell's house. The song was "You Don't Have To Cry." We've posted a later performance of video, below.

Crosby, Stills & Nash (Live) -  You Don't Have To Cry

The three improvised the song together, and it dawned on them quickly that they liked the vocal chemistry they had.  Less than a year later, they released the song we played on Morning Edition's music segment today, "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes."
