The Youngbloods were an American rock and folk band consisting of Jesse Colin Young (Vocals, bass), Jerry Corbitt (lead guitar), Lowell Levinger (rhythm guitar), and Joe Bauer (drums). Despite receiving critical acclaim, they never achieved widespread popularity. Their only U.S. Top 40 entry was "Get Together" Beginning in January 1965, Jesse Colin Young and Jerry Corbitt began performing on the Canadian circuit as a duo, eventually adopting the name 'The Youngbloods'. Young played bass, and Corbitt played piano, harmonica, and lead guitar. Corbitt introduced Young to a bluegrass musician, Lowell Levinger. Levinger, known as "Banana," could play the piano, banjo, mandolin, mandola, guitar and bass; he had played in the Proper Bostoners and the Trolls, and played mainly piano and guitar in the Youngbloods.
It's a Beautiful Day were a band formed in San Francisco California in 1967.
The group's signature song "White Bird" was inspired by the experiences David and Linda LaFlamme had while living in Seattle. For the month of December 1967 the group members lived in the attic of an old house owned by their manager Matthew Katz while playing and rehearsing at Seattle's Encore Ballroom. In an ironic twist on the band's name, the song was partly inspired by Seattle's rainy winter weather. In a later interview David LaFlamme said:
Where the 'white bird' thing came from ... We were like caged birds in that attic. We had no money, no transportation, the weather was miserable. We were just barely getting by on a very small food allowance provided to us. It was quite an experience, but it was very creative in a way.
