Jesse Colin Young

Like so many other folk-rockers of his generation, Jesse Colin Young got his start in Greenwich Village in the 60's alongside Bob Dylan and Judy Collins. By '67, he was tearing his way up the charts with the song "Get Together," which proved to be a remarkable hit single for his new band the Youngbloods when it was released over the summer. The band broke up a few short years later, but their legacy was already assured – to this day, the song is still the quintessential ode to widespread irrational friendship and would prove to be the template for many of the hippy-dippy anthems to come.
