Band history[edit]
Background and formation[edit]
Jesse Colin Young (born Perry Miller, November 22, 1941, Queens, New York City) was a moderately successful folk singer with two LPs under his belt – Soul of a City Boy (1964) and Youngblood (1965) – when he met fellow folksinger and former bluegrass musician from Cambridge, Massachusetts, Jerry Corbitt (born Jerry Byron Corbitt, January 7, 1943, Tifton, Georgia).[3][4] When in town, Young would drop in on Corbitt, and the two played together exchanging harmonies.
Beginning in January 1965, the two began performing on the Canadian circuit as a duo, eventually adopting the name 'The Youngbloods'. Young played bass, and Corbitt played piano, harmonica and lead guitar. Corbitt introduced Young to a bluegrass musician, Lowell Levinger (born Lowell Vincent Levinger III, 1946, Cambridge, Massachusetts). Levinger, known as 'Banana', could play the piano, banjo, mandolin, mandola, guitar and bass; he had played in the Proper Bostonians and the Trolls, and played mainly piano and guitar in the Youngbloods. He knew of a fellow tenant who could flesh out the band, Joe Bauer (born September 26, 1941, Memphis, Tennessee), an aspiring jazz drummer with experience playing in society dance bands.
Small gigs to recording success[edit]
Once the line-up was set, Jesse Colin Young and the Youngbloods, as the group was then known, began building a reputation from their club dates. (Early demo sides from 1965 were later issued by Mercury Records on the Two Trips album.) Their first concert had been at Gerde's Folk City in Greenwich Village; months later, they were the house band at the Cafe Au Go Go and had signed a recording contract with RCA Victor. Young, however, was not satisfied with RCA.[citation needed]
The arrangement produced one charting single, 'Grizzly Bear' (number 52 in 1967). Several critically praised albums followed: The Youngbloods (1967, later retitled Get Together); Earth Music (1967); and Elephant Mountain (1969), with the track 'Darkness, Darkness'.
In 1967, when 'Get Together', a paean to universal brotherhood, first appeared, it did not sell well, reaching only number 62 on the chart.[5] But two years later – after Dan Ingram had recorded a brotherhood promotion for WABC-AM in which the song was used as a bed for the promotion, and after the National Council of Christians and Jews subsequently used the song in television and radio commercials – the track was re-released and cracked the Top 5.[2][6] This disc sold over one million copies and received a gold record, awarded by the R.I.A.A., on 7 October 1969.[1]
Johnny Carson once reportedly refused to allow the band to perform on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, saying they were overly demanding during the pre-show soundcheck. In a 2009 interview, Young stated that the band refused to perform because the show reneged on a promise that they could play a song from their new album Elephant Mountain, instead demanding that they play only 'Get Together'.[7]
With Corbitt's departure from the band (for a solo career) in 1969, before the band recorded the album Elephant Mountain, Levinger assumed lead guitar duties and played extensively on Wurlitzer electric piano. The band became adept at lengthy improvisations in their live performances (as captured on the albums Rock Festival and Ride the Wind, released after the band moved over to their own Raccoon label, distributed by Warner Brothers).
In 1971, the group added the bassist Michael Kane to their line-up and put out two more albums Good & Dusty (1971), which featured ”Hippie from Olema' (an answer to Merle Haggard's 'Okie from Muskogee'), and High on a Ridgetop (1972), before disbanding. Young, Levinger and Bauer all went on to solo careers, of which only Young had any notable success. Levinger, Bauer and Kane were part of another group, Noggins, in 1972, which lasted for only one album, Crab Tunes. Bauer died of a brain tumor in September 1982, at the age of 40.[8]

Later history[edit]
In 1971, Jerry Corbitt and former Youngbloods producer Charlie Daniels formed a band called Corbitt & Daniels and toured.
In 1976 HT Rabin, the drummer from Alias, joined the Youngbloods for a brief tour.
Banana supplied guitar, banjo, synthesizer, and back-up vocals to Mimi Fariña's 1985 solo album, Solo, and also toured with her on and off from 1973 until the 1990s.[9] During the 1980s and 1990s, he played with the jam rock band Zero on keyboards, vocals and rhythm guitar.
In late 1984, the Youngbloods briefly reunited for a club tour. The 1984 line-up contained Young, Corbitt and Levinger, plus new members David Perper (drums, ex-Pablo Cruise) and Scott Lawrence (keyboards, woodwinds). Once the tour was completed, the group disbanded once again by mid-1985.
Following the September 11 terrorist attacks, the media conglomerate Clear Channel Communications included the Youngbloods' recording of 'Get Together' on a list of 'lyrically questionable' songs that was sent to its 1,200 radio stations in the United States.[citation needed]
Jerry Corbitt died of lung cancer on March 8, 2014. He was 71.[3][4]Cabinet hinge soft close attachment.
Lowell Levinger joined Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul for their 2017 European and 2018 American tours in support of (Steven) Van Zandt's latest album, Soulfire.
In 2014, Sony Music Japan remastered the first 3 Youngbloods Albums as 'The Youngbloods - 3 Albums Collection 1967-1969' (Mini LP BSCD2). 'The Youngbloods' and 'Earth Music,' contain both Mono and Stereo versions of the album plus bonus tracks. Elephant Mountain contains the full Stereo version of the album, plus a few Mono versions of selected tracks plus bonus tracks.

History[edit]
The Youngbloods 1967
'Get Together' was written by Chet Powers (aka Dino Valenti of Quicksilver Messenger Service) and had already appeared in 1963 on the album 12 String Guitar! Vol. 2 by The Folkswingers[3] and in 1966 as a track on the first album by The Jefferson Airplane. Upon first release as a single by The Youngbloods in 1967, it only went to #62 in the pop charts.[4][5] Two years later, after being featured in radio and television commercials, the track was re-released and climbed to number 5 in charts, selling more than a million records.[4]
The first song on the album, 'Grizzly Bear' (spelled 'Grizzely Bear' on the album cover), was also released as a single reaching #52 in the pop charts in December 1966.[5]Jerry Corbitt took credit for writing this song, but it had appeared on a 1928 recording by singer/songwriter Jim Jackson.[6] The song featured the 'jug band' style popularized by The Lovin' Spoonful, Jim Kweskin Jug Band and other similar groups of the middle 1960s. The title refers to a popular dance style of the 1910s. Corbitt also wrote the second song on the LP, the ballad 'All Over the World (La La)'. Side one also featured Blind Willie McTell's 'Statesboro Blues' and another ballad, 'One Note Man' written by fellow Cambridge folk musician Paul Arnoldi (spelled 'Arnaldi' on the record label).
Side Two featured two more songs written by fellow folk singer-songwriters, Fred Neil's 'The Other Side of This Life' and 'Four in the Morning' by George 'Robin' Remailly (who became a member of the Holy Modal Rounders in the 1970s).
Jesse Colin Young wrote two ballads on side two, 'Tears Are Falling' and 'Foolin' Around (The Waltz)' which alternates between 4/4 and 3/4 time signatures. Classical cello was added to 'Foolin' Around' by George Ricci. Side two ends with two blues standards, Jimmy Reed's 'Ain't That Lovin' You' and Mississippi John Hurt's 'C.C. Rider'. The last song featured a hard-rocking guitar jam that was common in the late 1960s, especially for San Francisco, which would soon become the Youngbloods' destination both geographically and musically.

Richie Unterberger, in a retrospective review for Allmusic, feels 'they would have been better off leaving the blues alone'; though he regards the rest of the material as 'good' and calls the album an 'engaging debut'.[7]
