Jesse Colin Young Wiki Information
Jesse Colin Young
(b, Perry Miller, November 11, 1941, in Queens, New York City) is an American singer / songwriter / folksinger. His career began in 1960s Greenwich Village and he released two solo albums before forming The Youngbloods. The group signed with RCA and released "Grizzly Bear" (written by guitarist Jerry Corbitt), followed by their debut, Youngbloods
, in 1967. This album included Get Together
, which became a major hit a few years later when RCA re-released it after it was used in a public service announcement for the National Council of Christians and Jews.
Young also wrote a few hits from 1969 and into the '70s, including "Sunlight" and "Darkness, Darkness". The group formed its own label, Raccoon Records, and continued releasing albums until Young disbanded the group in 1972 after his solo album, Together
became a hit. Several more albums and some mainstream success followed, but Young had lost a major label contract by the 1980s. He continued touring and re-formed the Youngbloods for a brief period before going back to his solo recording career again in 1987. He has since begun re-issuing older material.
