Poco’s Rusty Young passed away Wednesday after suffering a heart attack at his home in Davisville, Missouri. He was 75.
Rusty was a founding member of the country-rock band, which he formed in 1968 with former Buffalo Springfield members Richie Furay and Jim Messina, as well as George Grantham. He was also the only founder of the group to stay with them throughout its five-decade career.
"I just received word that my friend Rusty Young has passed away and crossed that line into eternity,"Furay said in a statement “People.” "My heart is saddened; he was a dear and longtime friend who help me pioneer and create a new Southern California musical sound called 'country rock.' "
Poco released 19 studio albums, and is best known for their on and only Top Ten hit, “Crazy Love,” which Rusty wrote.
