Rusty Young, founding member of the country rock band Poco, has died at age 75.
Young's management confirmed to USA TODAY Thursday that Young, born Norman Russell Young, died of a heart attack at his home in Davisville, Missouri on Wednesday.
Young formed Poco in 1967 with former Buffalo Springfield members Richie Furay and Jim Messina after Young was invited to play the steel guitar on Buffalo Springfield’s third and final album. George Grantham also joined Poco.
Over the next five decades, Young remained the only constant member of the band, which also included a rotation of members Randy Meisner, Timothy B. Schmit and guitarist Paul Cotton over the years.
