Jesse Colin Young is an American singer and songwriter. He was a founding member and lead singer of the 1960s group the Youngbloods.

Early life

Young was born Perry Miller on November 22, 1941 and raised in Queens, New York. He attended the fourth grade with Art Garfunkel.[1] His mother was a violinist,[1] and his father was an accountant with a strong interest in classical music.

When he was 15 years old, Young received a scholarship to Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. He was later expelled from the school.[2]

Career

During the 1960s, while living in the Greenwich Village section of Manhattan, Young released two solo albums, The Soul of a City Boy and Young Blood. He then formed the group the Youngbloods with guitarist Jerry Corbitt, keyboardist and guitarist Lowell "Banana" Levinger, and drummer Joe Bauer. The group's first album contained the song "Get Together", written by Chet Powers, which was re-released as a single in 1969. Young and his band founded Raccoon Records and released four additional albums on that label.[2]

Young left the group in 1972 and released a solo album, Together. His fourth solo album, Song for Juli, released in 1973, produced four singles and remained on the Billboard Top 200 chart for several months. He recorded the albums American Dreams in 1978, The Perfect Stranger in 1982, and The Highway Is for Heroes in 1987.[2]

He continued touring and re-formed the Youngbloods before returning to a solo recording career in 1987.[2] In 1993 he started a recording company, Ridgetop Music.[2]

Personal life

In September 1979, Young performed in the "No Nukes" concert.[2]

His recording studio and house in Inverness, California, were destroyed in the Mount Vision fire in 1995.[3] Young, his wife and their two children maintained a coffee plantation in Hawaii.[2]
