The Youngbloods ☮ "Get Together" 1969

?si=X9tQe0YgeQqLrtpP

Get Together", also known as "Let's Get Together", is a song written in the mid-1960s by American singer-songwriter Chet Powers (stage name Dino Valenti). U.S. Billboard Hot 100 1969 ranked #5

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&quot , which is repeated several times in succession to bring the song to its conclusion. ☮
