Buffalo Springfield drummer Dewey Martin dies

Dewey Martin, the drummer who helped found the pioneering country rock band Buffalo Springfield with Neil Young and Stephen Stills, has died. He was 68.
Martin was found dead by a roommate in his Van Nuys, California apartment.
Martin, along with Young, Stills, singer-songwriter-guitarist Richie Furay and bassist Bruce Palmer, formed Buffalo Springfield in 1966 and toured with the Byrds. Their debut album included the hit song “For What It’s Worth,” a solemn observation of 1960s turmoil.
The band broke up two years later amid tension between Young and Stills. Young led a successful solo career and Stills moved on to Crosby, Stills & Nash.
Martin’s career never ignited after the group split like those of his former band mates.
