Jesse Colin Young, the singer, songwriter and founding member of the Youngbloods, the 1960s group best known for their top 10 hit “Get Together,” has died. He was 83.

Young died Sunday in his home in Aiken, South Carolina, his wife and manager, Connie Young, announced.

As the frontman of the Youngbloods, Young brought forth the ideals of the Woodstock generation with his band’s version of Chet Powers’ “Get Together.” The song, which called for peace and brotherhood, came off their debut album in 1967 and peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 two years later.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
- Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001)

Si fractum non sit, noli id reficere.

Teach a child to be polite and courteous in the home and, when he grows up, he'll never be able to drive in New Jersey.
