“Get Together“, also known as “Let’s Get Together” and “Everybody Get Together“, is a song by American rock band the Youngbloods, originally included in their 1967 debut album The Youngbloods. It was written in the mid-1960s by American singer-songwriter Chet Powers (stage name Dino Valenti), from psychedelic rock band Quicksilver Messenger Service.^[2] The single was The Youngbloods’ only Top 40 on Billboard Hot 100—peaking at No. 5 in 1969.

Background

The song is an appeal for peace and brotherhood, presenting the polarity of love versus fear, and the choice to be made between them. It is best remembered for the impassioned plea in the lines of its refrain (“Come on people now/Smile on your brother/Everybody get together/Try to love one another right now”), which is repeated several times in succession to bring the song to its conclusion.^[2]

Original recording history

The song was originally recorded as “Let’s Get Together” by the Kingston Trio in a live performance in March 1964 that was released on June 1, 1964, on their album Back in Town.^[5] While it was not released as a single, this version was the first to bring the song to the attention of the general public. The Kingston Trio often performed it live.

Cover versions

A rendition first broke into the top forty in 1965, when We Five, produced by Kingston Trio manager Frank Werber, released “Let’s Get Together” as the follow-up to their top ten hit “You Were on My Mind“. While it did not achieve the same level of success as the other, “Let’s Get Together” provided the group with a second top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 when it peaked at No. 31^[6] and No. 5 in Canada.^[7] It would be their last hit record. This was included on their second album, Make Someone Happy.
Also in August of 1965 the Mitchell Trio released its version of “Get Together” on its album, “That’s the Way It’s Gonna Be” (Mercury, SG61049). The album was also the debut of new member, John Denver, who replaced the departing Chad Mitchell.
Jefferson Airplane included it on the 1966 debut album, Jefferson Airplane Takes Off.
The most notable recording came in 1967, when the Youngbloods released their version under the title “Get Together”. It became a minor Hot 100 hit for them, peaking at No. 62 and reaching 37 on the US adult contemporary chart.^[8] However, renewed interest in the Youngbloods’ version came when it was used in a radio public service announcement as a call for brotherhood by the National Conference of Christians and Jews.^[2] The Youngbloods’ version, the most-remembered today, was re-released in 1969, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.^[9]
In 1968, The Sunshine Company recorded the song, under the title “Let’s Get Together”.
Also in 1968, the Canadian group 3’s a Crowd released their version as a single, titled “Let’s Get Together”. It peaked at No. 70 on Canada’s national singles chart.^[10]
In 1969, Richie Havens played “Get Together” live at the Woodstock festival.^[11]
In 1970, Gwen and Jerry Collins released the song as a single that reached No. 34 on the US country chart.^[12]
In March 1970, the Dave Clark Five reached No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart with their version retitled “Everybody Get Together”.^[13]
In 1974, Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah performed it on PBS station WTTW Channel 11, for the series “Made in Chicago.”^[14]
In 1995, Big Mountain put it out on a single that reached No. 28 on the US adult contemporary chart and No. 44 on the Billboard Hot 100.^[15] It also reached No. 32 on Cash Box.^[16]
In 1991, Nirvana included the chorus lyrics – “Come on people now, smile on your brother. Everybody get together, try to love one another right now” – in the introduction to “Territorial Pissings” on the album Nevermind. “Sung” in a garbled manner by Krist Novoselic, Kurt Cobain explained this inclusion to Brazilian publication O Globo: “The song speaks of people who join together to be cool and try something new, the ideal contrast to the macho men I’m portraying in ‘Territorial Pissings.’ We didn’t mean to be offensive to the guy who wrote it. The idea of being positive and causing change in society and the world was appropriated by media, who turned it into something ridiculous, a caricature.”^[17]
In 2021, Belinda Carlisle released a version of the song to be included on a Record Store Day-exclusive EP titled Nobody Owns Me.^[18]

VIDEO & PODCAST – PREMIERE HOUSTON CARDIOLOGIST, DR. COLIN BARKER, UNRAVELS STENT TECHNOLOGY AND PATIENT HEALTH –

WHAT’S AT THE HEART OF A DECISION FOR PATIENTS WHO MAY NEED STENTS?
Understanding the right questions to ask about stents can have a meaningful impact on patient health

In the last 20 years, treatment options have proven so commonplace and effective in treating coronary artery disease (CAD), the most common type of heart disease, that many patients spend little time asking doctors about treatment advances and benefits. They instead limit their questions to economic or logistical matters, but what they should be asking is how quickly they can get back to their daily lives.

In fact, a recent Harris survey showed that most Americans have little information about stents until they develop CAD. So what are the other questions that patients should be
asking? What are the latest developments in stent technology? What benefits do these advances offer patients? Who are the best candidates?

Knowing the right questions to ask proved to be of special significance for CAD patient Shawna Dukes. A combination of active research and persistence with doctors enabled Shawna to ask the right questions, which ultimately saved her life. After consulting with a number of physicians who could not determine the cause of her extreme fatigue and overall discomfort, she finally found answers from her interventional cardiologist. He determined that getting a stent that promotes faster healing was the right treatment option for her, and one that gave her back control of her health again.

Shawna is just one of the more than 15 million Americans affected by CAD.[i] For the many others affected by CAD, understanding advances in stent technology can be the first step in becoming an active, knowledgeable advocate for your health.

Shawna and her interventional cardiologist Dr. Colin Barker of Houston Methodist Hospital shared their personal experience, provide an overview of this evolution in stent technology, and helped to answer the toughest questions surrounding the role of stents.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carla Neggers once again delves into the world of international intrigue in HERON’S COVE, her newest novel that hits stores August 2012. www.carlanegger.com

Set in one of the author’s most beloved locations, the mist-shrouded coast of Maine, HERON’S COVE offers a gripping story of a priceless collection Russian jewelry that’s about to be stolen … again. For millions of readers, the popular New England author’s books mean edge-of-their-seats suspense, complex plotting, multi-faceted characters and romantic tension. HERON’S COVE, which hits stores August 2012, is no exception.

In the gripping novel, FBI agent and art crimes expert Emma Sharpe and her new love, FBI undercover agent Colin Donovan, fight to uncover the connection between an illegal arms operation and a collection of Russian Art Nouveau jewelry. When Russian billionaire Dmitri Rusakov docks his yacht in Heron’s Cove, he claims he is there to recover a priceless collection of jewelry that was stole four years earlier. Colin suspects he’s there for another reason altogether – and he wonders how much Emma knows about the Russian’s mission. To get to the bottom of the mystery, Emma and Colin must reveal their secrets and trust each other’s expertise to outwit their ruthless enemies.

Carla’s careful research and attention to detail always come into play when she creates the mysterious plots for her characters. “Art has been an ever-present influence in my life,” Carla says. “My mom was very visual, an inspired quilter. One of my uncles, who was captured by the Nazis during World War II, was an avid painter, and my roommates in college were artists. I’m fascinated by high-stakes international art theft and the motivations behind it.”
