The Youngbloods

The Youngbloods was an American rock band consisting of Jesse Colin Young (vocals, bass, guitar), Jerry Corbitt (vocals, guitar, keyboards, harmonica), Lowell "Banana" Levinger (guitar and electric piano), and Joe Bauer (drums). Despite receiving critical acclaim, they never achieved widespread popularity. Their only U.S. Top 40 entry was Chet Powers's "Get Together".

I wanted to go back to playing guitar and he was kind enough to help us out. He was glad to move to West Marin and he fit right in. He was a kind and gentle man with a smile in his eyes and a generous heart. Thank you Michael for keeping us going. You will be missed"
