“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]

HELPING PETS AND THEIR PARENTS TRANSITION
AS THE NATION REOPENS
Celebrity Veterinarian Dr. Lisa Lippman to Discuss New Survey Findings and Provide Tips for Getting Back to “Normal”

PETS PLAYED A CRITICAL ROLE IN HELPING THEIR PARENTS NAVIGATE THE STRESSES OF THE PANDEMIC. BUT EASING COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS AND A RETURN TO NORMAL ACTIVITIES IS CAUSING ANXIETY FOR SOME PET PARENTS AS THEY LEAVE THEIR PETS HOME ALONE MORE OFTEN. JOINING US AS WE DISCUSS RESULTS FROM A NEW SURVEY AND TO SHARE EXPERT PET CARE ADVICE IS NEW YORK CITY’S PREMIER VETERINARIAN AND DOG MOM DR. LISA LIPPMAN.

BIO: Lisa Lippman, DVM, Premier Veterinarian
Lisa Lippman, DVM, is one of the most followed and socially influential veterinarians in the United States and is nationally respected as a go-to source for expertise in pet health and safety by media outlets such as Dr. Oz, Inside Edition, and Live with Kelly and Ryan. When not making house calls to treat some of the most influential pets in the world, Dr. Lippman serves as a medical director for Animal Lighthouse Rescue, whose mission is to help the homeless dogs of Puerto Rico, co-hosts a hugely popular podcast called “We Don’t Deserve Dogs” with comedian Richie Redding, while still finding time to devote to her own dog, the incomparable Rhodesian Ridgeback named Chloe. The only thing larger than Dr. Lippman’s big brown eyes is the size of her heart, which is why she tirelessly advocates for animals and the humans who love them

Dr. Lisa Lippman knows firsthand how much extra time pet parents have spent with their pets during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a dog parent, New York City veterinarian and Instagram influencer with over 159k followers, she’s hearing from pet parents daily about their concerns as the country shifts to reopening. As U.S. restrictions ease and people start transitioning to their “normal” lives and activities, pet parents also have to adjust to spending less time at home with their beloved pets they’ve grown so close to.
http://bravecto.com/bravobuddy
A new survey is shedding light on some of the biggest pet parent anxieties around this once-in-a-lifetime transition. Now more than ever, dog and cat owners are looking for advice on leaving their pet home alone more often and how to relieve stress through pet care solutions that help pet owners and their furry friends adjust to their new day-to-day routines.
On Tues., June 29, Dr. Lippman will be available to share her perspective about this “new normal” as a veterinarian and a pet parent. As part of the interview opportunity, she’ll also provide solutions to help ease the transition for pets, such as:

 How pet parents can prepare to spend longer periods of time away from pets
 How to recognize signs of a stressed pet when returning to work or going on vacation
 How to simplify pet care and streamline pet parents’ routines

Dr. Lippman announces a special social media contest encouraging pet parents to share their favorite video or photo of their pet. The contest aims to help pet parents focus less on the stress of leaving their pet home alone and more on the reasons they love coming home to their four-legged pals each day. Winners will receive 12 weeks’ worth of pet care services to help ease the transition, which may include dog walking, doggie daycare and more.
