“Get Together” (Youngbloods - 1967) #62 10/14/1967

Originally a Kingston Trio song from '64, many acts recorded this, including We Five, Jefferson Airplane, and the Dave Clark Five. It became a much bigger hit when the Youngbloods re-released their version in 1969 - here, not so much for them in 1967. Written by Chet Powers, who sold the song rights to raise money defending himself against a conviction on pot charges. Those netted him some time at Folsom Prison.
