Jesse Colin Young, frontman and co-founder of the influential Sixties group the Youngbloods, has died at the age of 83. The musician’s death was confirmed by his wife and manager, Connie Young, who disclosed that he passed away at his home in Aiken, South Carolina, though she did not reveal a cause of death. Young is best known as the vocalist for 1969 counterculture anthem, “Get Together,” which peaked at Number Five on the Billboard Hot 100. The song’s unforgettable hook, “Come on, people now/Smile on your brother/Everybody get together/Try to love one another right now,” was even quoted on Nirvana‘s “Territorial Pissings,” a track on their legendary 1991 album, Nevermind. Young’s artistic versatility extended to folk, blues, jazz, country, and rock & roll across a series of solo albums following the Youngbloods’ dissolution in 1972. He released his last album, Dreamers, in 2019, following a Lyme’s disease diagnosis in 2012. (Rolling Stone)
