Early DAVID CROSBY - GET TOGETHER (Pre-Byrds Folk Rock)

Early David Crosby before the Byrds phenomenon took off. His voice and singing is quite nice on this version of the soon to be folk peace anthem.

This song is from 1969 if I recall well, so there's no way It could have been pre-Byrds!

This song is an old folk song from the early 60's and was recorded by various artists throughout the 60's. Jeffersor Airplane recorded it in 1966 for instance.

Chet Powers wrote Get Together in 1963. Dino Valenti was his stage name while with Quicksilver. The Kingston Trio first recorded it in 1964. A 1965 version by We Five charted at #31. Jefferson Airplane put it on their 1966 debut album. Also In 1966, Powers sold the song to Frank Werber,manager of the Kingston Trio to pay legal fees on a drug charge. The most popular version is by the Youngbloods from 1967. Used in a tv campaign, it was reissued in 1969. That charted at #5.

Nothing beats the Youngbloods version, but this is wonderful to hear. Crosby's voice is a dream.

@raponte1955 funny they gave it a Twist & Shout Intro. Dino Valente (aka Chet Powers) wrote this song and it goes way back before the Byrds. Plus, the namby pamby delivery here would have never been cut in this fashion in '69. This is pretty historic actually  seems like Crosby didn't know what he had. McGuinn, Valente, Crosby, Kantner, they all knew one another before they were.

nice pre-byrds crosby tune,thanks for putting it on

[dansdotcom]

his was written in 1963 by Dino Valenti from Quicksilver Messenger Service. He signed away rights to it when he was imprisoned for marijuana possession. The Youngbloods recorded it in 1967 and gave the composer credit to Chet Powers, a name they made up. dan

LOL...sounds like "Guantanamera," or "La Bamba." Very un-edgy...
