[@lockedonlaw]

Walking On Sunshine - Katrina And The Waves

[@ramongolden2157]

I remember when this song came out. I immediately felt that it was a song protesting the war and asked my dad, a combat veteran from early Vietnam, what it meant. He explained that he felt I was too young to understand what it meant, but that one day I would “get it”. Now I am a the combat veteran, and it really hits home for me. My life came around full circle, so to speak. I “get it” dad…😢

The Youngbloods turned this song into a timeless classic. An intricately woven together masterpiece that is so beautiful that it is addicting. It leaves my senses stunned every time I hear it.

[@ProfessorofRock]

Agreed! Such a beautiful song!

[@kanadianbacon7733]

*"Angelically Beautiful!♡¡"*

[@Jims_Camera_at_dawn]

I wish it was just that simple. As I always say, dream big. It costs the same as dreaming small. I would like to hear POR take on the song, In The Year 2525. Searched KZbin for your review and could not find one.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

Their performance was just amazing.

[@Stoneylfm]

@@Jims_Camera_at_dawn I like that. Gonna try to remember to dream big cost the same

[@michaelbillington8737]

I first heard this song during my second tour in Vietnam and when I finally got home I was fortunate enough to hear the Youngbloods perform it live. After two years of war, it was one of the best times of my life. Thanks for sharing this story.

Thanks for serving our country. I'm glad you made it home safely. One of my best friends was a chopper pilot there. He picked up wounded soldiers; he doesn't like to talk about it, which is understandable. When he returned, he became a medical doctor. You guys are heroes.

[@copenhagen1968]

Glad you made it home,Bro! One tour was enough ! Stay well.

[@TheLionessjudah]

There could be a thousand versions but this version by Young is the one that lives on in hearts.

[@Samtzu]

Wow... this song affected my generation greatly during this time... and then a little while later, "Darkness, Darkness" tore out our hearts. Jesse Colin Young IS the road map of my generation.

[@bill-the_virtual-deal-maker]

This is one of my all time favorite songs. There are no other versions or renditions of this song that can even begin to measure up to this version. It doesn't get played enough anymore, we could really use it now with all the animosity that we are going through in our country.

[@ProfessorofRock]

Amen to that statement! Love it!

[@Code.Name.V]

I could not agree with you more!

[@Dave-lq2le]

Well said, Bill !

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

This song is like a warm friend that is there to comfort you.

[@edryba4867]

Here’s the problem. Your basic “oldies” station tends to play only 300 SONGS! And they play ONLY those 300 tunes TO DEATH! That’s why there are so many songs you never hear. I know. I’ve worked at a few.

[@57RickH]

One of those classic songs that still gets played on radio after 50+ years and still gets you singing along, turning up the volume. 📻

[@ProfessorofRock]

No question!

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

Especially that lovely chorus.

[@josephblue4135]

Not on Philadelphia's Classic Rock station WMGK 😢

[@oldschoolrr6077]

This was a incredible song to hear on the radio in Late Summer 1969 just before school started up once again. Living in L.A. at the time, "Get Together" reached #3 on the 93 KHJ Boss Radio Chart in August 1969. (#5 on the Billboard Hot 100) Youngbloods were yet another underrated band of the 60"s

[@stevengilleyOU812]

We need that song now is an understatement. Too much hate permeates in this country. This was my favorite interview to date. And you’ve had some great ones!

[@donaldk.macbaird5248]

I am a 71 year old Marine and I Served 69-72 and I remember this song . Thank you for bring this song to the for front.

[@MyName-pl7zn]

Wow! What a kind and beautiful soul Jesse Colin Young is!! He was definitely put on this earth for exactly this message, without The Youngbloods I may have never known this song which I believe framed the end of the 60s perfectly. When I was young the Vietnam war was on TV nightly and it scared me because I thought this was going to be happening throughout my life but this song reassured me that Peace and love was possible and there was a crowd that wanted that. I guess you could say it made me kind of a hippie in my beliefs of caring for others. What a powerful message and powerful interview professor, one of my favorites for sure!!

[@ProfessorofRock]

Thanks My Name!

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

Songs like these remind us that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

[@macgrad1]

I’m from your generation and the songs about love and peace really touched me, too. I had grown up in a Canadian Baptist Sunday School that preached love, peace, brotherhood, and never discriminating against anyone. As a result, I was already predisposed to accept the message of that music. I sincerely believed that we were entering a new era of love, brotherhood, and peace. It was extremely discouraging to see so much hatred, prejudice, and violence continuing. My generation is passing and I hope that the young people will step up and choose to reject hatred and bigotry, and that they will be political activists who fight for social and economic justice for their countries.

[@MyName-pl7zn]

@@macgrad1 I believe that the generation in their early twenties are much like our generation of people that believed in Peace and love and social justice. I am glad that after Vietnam that no other (north American) generation had to watch on the nightly news of a war of people being killed. I'm with you I still believe we are coming into an Age of Aquarius. Many of us old hippies, so to speak, believe that we can reach out to others and become brothers and sisters. Thank you for your wonderful comments!

[@JimWright-i7y]

This is one of the strongest most positive and spiritual songs ever. I have loved it since i first heard it on the radio in 1967. It still brings tears of joy to my eyes.

[@BSPIVEY100]

This is my favorite song of that time. I love it so much, that I instructed my son to play this at my funeral. He was told to print out the words and give them to everybody to sing along with while waving lighters over their heads.

[@okthumper8047]

I haven't heard this song in a long time. Now I have to replay this on KZbin. Thank you.

[@Bill-Rocker]

Sometimes the Universe gets it right. This is one of those times. This song had every ingredient to make it perfect. Words, vocals, music. It sounds as good today as when I was listening on my transistor AM radio in grade school. It really helped a young kid formulate a way of looking at others. I often wonder if artist really understand the effect a truly great bit of music has on individuals. Once again the Professor brings the soundtrack of life.... to LIFE ! Thanks.

[@ProfessorofRock]

Thank you for your kind words and for watching. We can change things one by one. One by one!

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

It has aged beautifully.

[@robinpfohl9989]

I was so happy to see Jesse Colin Young! I am a huge fan. Great job getting the interview Adam!

[@michaelelwell7476]

When the Youngbloods performed this song at the Seattle pop festival in 1969 I perceived a wave of calm from the stage rolling across the throng. Words are not adequate to describe the feeling.

[@ArchFundy]

Songs like this defined my youth. One of my favorite songs of all time. This song along with Eve of Destruction (Barry McGuire), San Francisco (Scott McKenzie), Abraham, Martin and John (Dion), ... these songs meant something. They were guiding lights for a generation. Thank you Jesse.

[@ProfessorofRock]

So many classics in your comment!

[@MyName-pl7zn]

Agree wholeheartedly, I believe these songs helped make who I am today

[@LazyIRanch]

I was a little kid when this song came out, and I loved it even though I didn't understand anything about what was going on in the world. When the refrain came around with the verse "Smile on your brother", I would run towards my big brother with the biggest smile I could muster and smash my teeth on his arm. 😊 Literally "Smiling on my brother"!😅

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

The 60s were incredible.

[@dukecraig2402]

Where'd it guide them to? Job's in corporate America after they got out of college and play time was over and it was time to get serious in life? Because that's what they did, as soon as daddy's money quit paying their way in life they all went out and got job's and started competing with each other for promotions so they could buy a bigger house than the next ex hippie that used to protest the very establishment they were now embracing and working for, by 1980 even the most radical ex hippies that planted bombs in defense plants were hiding in the very comfort and safety of suburban America they'd been protesting just 10 years before, that's if they weren't raking in money from having written books about what they'd done, or better yet working as a technical advisor on a movie about their exploits while they were sitting around waiting for Bill Clinton to write pardons for them.

[@doneestoner9945]

I have always loved that song very much since it first came out when I was a teenager.

[@jtmet5]

I bought that album when it first came out. That song, along with Darkness Darkness has never lost its magic. To me, I feel sometimes God chooses to write a song for us. This is one of them. Whenever I need to feel at peace, it’s always there. Thank you Chet and Jessie for bringing it to us.

[@timlawson4314]

I remember as a kid of around ten years old, watching the war every night on the evening news. I know it bothered my parents, but my mom was into rock. It was her escape from the world, and she would have the radio on while cooking dinner. She loved this song and would dance around the kitchen when it played. As I grow older, the words of the song mean so much to me, as well as the memory of my mother, God rests her soul. I've asked my wife to have the line "We are but a moments sunlight fading in the grass" placed on my headstone when I pass. Such a beautiful and poignant line.

[@archerg4608]

There isn't any other song that resonates so deeply with so many, words to live by!!!

[@beatleographer_10-51]

"Get Together", one of the most iconic songs of the '60s. Written in 1963, it's probably the first Love and Peace song released. I know how it affected me. Great interview ... thanks Professor!

[@hughwright1860]

A timeless classic. What a great story about a powerful song with a powerful message. Like most other music junkies here its one of my all time favorites. Bravo 👏👏👏 Adam. 👏 👏

[@ProfessorofRock]

Thanks Hugh!

[@waynevia6976]

I agree it's one of my favorite songs. I love get together one of the greatest songs of all time.

[@ProfessorofRock]

Thanks Wayne!

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

Me too. The message cannot be overstated enough.

[@Kenboslice3]

Heard this song all the time growing up on Mom's radio. A beautiful message that unfortunately is ignored to this day. Maybe we'll figure it out some time, I hold on to that hope.

[@ProfessorofRock]

I was lucky enough to see Jesse in 1969 at the Woodstock Festival the whole crowd sang along . It was such a beautiful thing a wonderful day . ❤

[@susanfox-mx3nv]

I graduated from high school in 1969. I know the song, the feeling, and the reason. It seems Jesse Collin Young is seeing the renaissance of a desire for harmony and peace that looks like that time. Our country is divided because the media says it is so. NO! NO! I'm sensing an upsurge of love and inclusion. People want more, and we are embracing our brothers and sisters in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Cheers Jesse!

One of my all time favorite Songs and performed by The Youngbloods. It was in 1967 on a car radio. I was in High School and being driven to Cour de Lane ID. I’ll never forget that time or the Song that brings back that time in a heartbeat!I watch all your videos…but this is my favorite to date! GREAT JOB!!!

[@rolandgarcia3567]

This is an incredible piece of art. Fantastic guitar play, musicianship, and singing. Truly a perfect version of this song. One of the best songs from our history.

[@robertweldon7909]

I was living in San Diego when The Youngbloods released this tune the first time. I was serving in the Navy at the time, and Get Together really seemed to be calling (even begging) all of us to find a way to bring to and end the fear and sadness, due to the war in Viet Nam. Every time I've heard this song, over the years, a tear starts to well up in my heart. If only we ALL could take to heart the words of this tune, our world would be a better place, and will "when the one who left us here, returns for us at last". The youngbloods had another song out at about the same time, I believe, was called "Ridge Top". That was really MY favorite Youngbloods tune. It was along the same line as The Moody Blues tune "Tuesday Afternoon" (one of my all time favorites). Jessie seems to have adopted the feel and meaning of this wonderful tune, one of the defining tunes of the late 1960's. Great interview, Adam, great interview. ;-)

This is one of my all time favorite songs still today. I can't play it and be doing something else but stop and listen intently. Thank you for your channel and bringing up this song.

[@stephenhanft1226]

"Get Together" may have been The Youngblood's only hit but it was an important song that perfectly represented the times. In 1969, there were protests against the Vietnam War, riots in the streets, and social unrest. The Hippie, Woodstock Generation of the 1960's used the song's message of peace and love as their anthem. Its powerful message still resonates today. Definitely a classic and one of the most memorable one-hit-wonders.

[@ProfessorofRock]

Agreed. Thank you Stephen. Great comment.

[@robertbrescia3196]

The Youngbloods were not quite a one-hit-wonder. Before "Get Together", they had a minor chart hit "Grizzly Bear" which peaked at No. 52 on the Hot 100 (although it received enough airplay in the Midwest to make the Top 40 on a few local charts, including WLS). But no, not may people would remember it.

[@petercena9497]

Darkness Darkness was an early FM classic.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

My mother was born in 1969 and was three months old at the time of Woodstock. Life changing events.

[@Frankie5Angels150]

Sadly, the hippie generation is now running the world into the ground. They kept the Marxism and ditched all that peace and love b.s. The result is more violence but this time without a cause.

[@ericcrawford3453]

This song has been bouncing around in my head I think all my life. What a good song to have on my minds top 20 for life, thanks Young Bloods. Cool show Professor. T.C.B. 🤟

Loved that song in the tv show The Wonder Years as a junior in high school in early 1989 - nice memories

[@jimtaylor4488]

This is one of those songs that when I hear it start, a certain feeling immediately comes across me. I can’t explain the feeling, but those of you who love music and grew up in the 60s and 70s know what I am talking about. Your interview with Jessie was really enjoyable.

[@ranealong6555]

I have LOVED this song since I heard it as a little girl! To this very day, whenever something tragic happens I play this song. It is TIMELESS, and how I wish we could all "love one another right now"......❤ Thank you for this great interview!!😊

[@Mskatsnow]

The Youngbloods and Jesse Colin Young were great. Jesse’s lp Ridgetop and Song for Julie were a major staple in beginning of FM Rock stations. Gotta hear Jesse at least once a month!! Get Together is one of the greatest songs ever! Thanks for all you do!!

[@nancydemoss2945]

Of all the songs used in Forrest Gump, I'm glad the Youngbloods version of Get Together was used. It's always been a favorite of mine from the Era of the 60s. Thanks, Professor of Rock for this excellent video!! Get Together has always been one of my favorite songs, period! I love it when you interview the actual artists and get their takes on the music and the era they recorded the music. Love this installment!!!!

[@geoffstrickler]

What made The Youngbloods version special is that the music, pacing, and vocals are a match for the feeling of the lyrics. The earlier versions didn’t have that. Those all had a notable mismatch between what the lyrics convey and what the music and vocals were conveying.

[@jeromethiel4323]

In my mind there are two parts of any song. The actual music, instruments, vocals, etc; and then the lyrics. And either one can make or break a song. But if both together work together, it's magical.

[@adriennedaley8940]

What he says at the end, about "the heart"...THAT is what's missing from so much of today's music experience. The spiritual element a.k.a. God is what put us all together in the first place and will keep the faithful together with Him en masse in the end. This is the message He sends through His minstrels, perfectly delivered in this version of this song.

[@justJelene]

What he described about singing for free in SF in the '60's... This is what music is all about. That interchange from the original writer/lyricist to whoever has taken that gift to perform as a gift for others who in turn fuel the whole process with the gift of their energy & vibe. ❤

[@teddyboone4919]

Thank you thank you thank you Jesse.One of my all time favorite songs.THIS SONG IS THE MESSAGE.

When Jesse speaks, his soft-spoken demeaner reminds me of Dabbs Greer, known for playing the minister on Little House on the Prairie and Old Paul Edgecomb in the Green Mile. Thanks for the great and inspiring interview, Professor.

[@Lam_3-22-23]

Interpretation is such a huge part of a songs success. After hearing clips from the other recordings of Get Together, it's easy to hear why the Youngbloods version was so successful. It's wonderful how he gives props to artists like Muddy Waters. Thanks, Prof

Professor, this is my first comment although a long time viewer. Your episodes are a “force multiplier” for the music.

Congratulations on another tremendous episode.
