Get Together - The Youngbloods (Cover by Nancy Cruz)

Get Together made popular by The Youngbloods is one of the most iconic songs of the 60s' hippie counterculture movement during the Summer of Love in San Francisco. A time of peace, war, love, protest, brotherhood and drugs.
This beautiful song of faith was written by Chet Powers (aka Dino Valenti) and was first made popular by The Kingston Trio. The Youngbloods did their version in 1967, and it made #5 on the Billboard Hot List in 1969.

I was a teen when this song was out. I truly believed we were going to change the world for the better. I mourn the world we could have had.

[@bscorpio12]

I was just a little girl back in the '60s. Too young to be a part of the group of people protesting for peace and love back then. Let's keep trying to make that world happen - a better place in kindness, unity, empathy and understanding. In my heart, love always wins at the end. ❤

This was one of my first song that meant so much in my teenage year and , yes ,we need so desperately to make those words and those those feelings live again , we need that key to open our genuine heart to love and be human being like we’re suppose to be…. Hope it’s not a dream like a long long time….

I lived through the 60s Love the music love the peace love and all that But I've grown older and wiser And realize that all through history We the collective people have wanted love and peace and gentle life But it was never to be and it never will be simple because the human condition Is filled with darkness fear of death And violents Towards fellow human being I doubt that that will ever change until we finally destroy ourself ourselves over the hate and fear and

[@rancors1]

I wasn't even a teen when this came out. You have a very loving voice. I believe that humanity has access to a higher power and one of the doors to it is music. Organized religion is just another form of government. We all find our own roads to paradise. Sometimes we can invite others to travel with us-but down different roads. Our diversity is our organic wealth.

[@bscorpio12]

Thank you so much for the kind words and wisdom! 🥰

🎶This is the Song that I still sing almost every day,. I began singing it in 1970. It is one of my go-to songs when I make my way to the closet and kneel. I imagine Daniel in the Lion's den. And, I know we can fulfill the affections of these lyrics. If they gave a war, and nobody came. It is easier than you dream. Persevere. and, Peace can become the norm. All you need is Love, Love, Love. And, as Jesus still sings, Love you forever and forever. Love🎶 you whenever we're together, Love you when we're apart. ...You know I will, ...I will...🎶 Seek Infinity'G'. The firs thing that you, yes, You have control over is your own rudeness. Master that and all these dreams will come true. May this be the Star that you wish upon.💓 - gLCTLC

This song is only a little older than I am. I've heard it off and on since I was a boy. But only now have I actually found out the song's title and the name of the group that performed it. Talk about learning something new every day.

[@johnnyp8979]

Sooooo, CHET POWERS wrote n recorded this song way back in 1963. You are telling us you are al my almost that old, or you are almost as old as the Youngbloods version from 1967 ? Or maybe: The Kingston Trio version...? No matter what, what you remember IS a beautiful melody 👍 ! Yes, beautiful song 🥰...
