Career
There Young fell in with Buffalo Springfield members Richie Furay and Jim Messina as they wrapped up that band"s final album. With Buffalo Springfield disintegrated, Furay, Messina, and Young joined together to create a new band, originally named "Pogo" but then shortly rechristened "Poco" after copyright concerns forced a change. The band needed a drummer, and Young recruited Grantham, who became part of Poco"s founding line-up.
Grantham"s backup vocals were an important element of the band"s distinctive harmony sound.
He returned in 1985, and was part of four of five band incarnations before departing again 1990. Reunited once more in 2000, he suffered a debilitating stroke in 2002 and was unable to rejoin the band again until some vocals-only appearances in 2009.
