אודות פרק זה
Jesse Colin Young had a Top 5 single with the Youngbloods' version of "Get Together," but he didn't rest on those laurels. He continued to perform and also write his own songs both with the group and as a solo artist.
To listen to the Youngbloods sing "Get Together," you can go here. The song, about loving one another, plays as a fitting soundtrack to videos from Woodstock, the iconic peace and love event of 1969. In the chapters, there's a cover image of the CD "Get Together: The Essential Youngbloods," available on Amazon.
You can go here to listen to "Darkness, Darkness," which Young wrote and the Youngbloods recorded. It's on their "Elephant Mountain" album, which you can see in the chapters. The CD is also available on Amazon.
To learn more about the man and his long career, visit the Jesse Colin Young website where you can rent or purchase his 2020 Empty House Concert, recorded in Aiken, S.C., at the height of the Covid shutdown and buy CDs including the original 1973 master of "Jesse Colin Young (Song for Juli)" and the original master of "Light Shine."

Song of the Day creator Sheldon Zoldan researched, wrote and narrated this short story, one of 35 tributes to music stars who passed away in 2025. Song of the Day used to be a daily feature delivered to an email list of subscribers. Sheldon ended it in early 2026 which, I suppose, means that Song of the Day deserves a tribute of its own. The good thing is that the tributes to music makers live on. Each is a snapshot of the life of one music maker whose work made an impact on the lives of many.
