/24-7PressRelease/ - VIENNA, VA, October 05, 2005 - Jesse Colin Young began his music career in New York City in the 1960s. He was a fixture at Greenwich Village coffee houses and released two solo albums during that period: Soul Of A City Boy and Young Blood. Following the solo releases, Young formed The Youngbloods and achieved a worldwide Top Ten hit with the anthem "Get Together" followed by "Sunlight" and "Darkness, Darkness", both written by Young for the Youngbloods critically acclaimed album, Elephant Mountain.
After releasing seven albums with The Youngbloods, Young returned to solo recording in 1972 with the album TOGETHER, which charted in Billboard's Top Albums. Young followed it with another solo album, Song For Juli, released in September 1973. Song For Juli stayed on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart for nearly a year and was followed onto the chart by Light Shine in 1974, Songbird in 1975, On The Road in 1975, and Love On A Wing in 1976.
Throughout his career Young has collaborated with noted songwriters such as Wendy Waldman, Michael McDonald, and Danny O'Keefe. Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant recorded the song "Darkness, Darkness," originally on The Youngbloods' Elephant Mountain in 2002, and it was nominated for a Grammy as Best Rock Vocal. The song was also used in the James Cameron directed, Disney distributed, Ghosts of the Abyss currently on cable and in IMAX theatres. Young has performed on behalf of American Indians; he has sung in prisons; and he has used solar energy for his concerts. He has appeared in benefits on behalf of organizations ranging from the Dream Foundation to the Kona Pacific Waldorf School, which Jesse and his wife Connie helped to build, and where they both teach music.
