Jesse Colin Young passed away today at age 83.

Jesse Colin Young was a founding member and lead singer of the 1960s group the Youngbloods. After their dissolution in 1972, Young embarked on a solo career, releasing a series of albums.

While I can't say I am a huge fan, especially of Young's solo work, I have great appreciation for the song "Darkness Darkness" from their 1969 Elephant Mountain record.

The other notable piece performed by the Youngbloods is "Get Together", a true folk rock anthem.
