The Youngbloods

The single “Get Together” by The Youngbloods, which would be included on their
self-titled album released in 1967, stalled at number 62 at the time, but was re-
issued in 1969 and made the top 5 the second time around.

Jesse Colin Young (70) was the founding member of The Youngbloods

"American Woman" by Canadian rock band The Guess Who was
first released in January 1970 on the album of the same name and
later in March as a single. It reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The monologue "What it Was, Was Football" was recorded in 
Raleigh, NC for the Colonial label in 1953. Soon, Colonial had 
sold nearly 50,000 copies of the record and then sold the 
masters to Capitol Records. Capitol released the record in 
the same year, and soon had sold nearly 800,000 copies
and was instrumental in launching Griffith’s career in TV,
stage, and film. The record is still one of the biggest
selling comedy records of all time. On the original single,
(below) the monologue is credited to "Deacon Andy Griffith."
