Jesse Colin Young, who sang one of the signature songs of the 1960s counterculture, the Youngbloods “Get Together,” before moving into a solo career in the ’70s, has died at age 83. Prior to the Youngbloods’ version, “Get Together” had been recorded by the Kingston Trio and Jefferson Airplane, but Young remembered the serendipitous moment when it first came onto his radar, being sung by Buzzy Linhart at the Cafe Au Go Go in New York.
