Jesse Colin Young is best known for his song "Get Together"

With a truly unique voice and a terrific talent for writing and playing, Jesse Colin Young founded The Youngbloods, as well as showing prowess as a solo artist and gave us great songs like "Get Together", "Josianne", "Darkness, Darkness", "Sunlight" and "Ridgetop".

I never saw The Youngbloods, though we lived on their music, however I was fortunate enough to see Jesse at the old Boston Garden during his solo tour with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, after the release of his Crazy Boy album. His and his band's performance that night ranks among the finest I've ever witnessed by anyone, anywhere!

Jesse Colin Young in a nutshell... 

Jesse Colin Young (b, Perry Miller, November 11, 1941, in Queens, New York City) is an American singer / songwriter / folksinger. His career began in 1960s Greenwich Village and he released two solo albums before forming The Youngbloods. The group signed with RCA and released "Grizzly Bear" (written by guitarist Jerry Corbitt), followed by their debut, Youngbloods, in 1967. This album included Get Together, which became a major hit a few years later when RCA re-released it after it was used in a public service announcement for the National Council of Christians and Jews.

Young also wrote a few hits from 1969 and into the '70s, including "Sunlight" and "Darkness, Darkness". The group formed its own label, Raccoon Records, and continued releasing albums until Young disbanded the group in 1972 after his solo album, Together became a hit. Several more albums and some mainstream success followed, but Young had lost a major label contract by the 1980s. He continued touring and re-formed the Youngbloods for a brief period before going back to his solo recording career again in 1987. He has since begun re-issuing older material.

When his recording studio and house were destroyed in the Ridgetop Fire in 1995, he moved from Marin to Hawaii.

The Youngbloods in a nutshell...

The Youngbloods was an American folk rock band consisting of Jesse Colin Young (Vocals, bass), Jerry Corbitt (lead guitar), Lowell Levinger (rhythm guitar), and Joe Bauer (drums). Despite receiving critical acclaim, they never achieved widespread popularity. Their only U.S. Top 40 entry was "Get Together".
