Jesse Colin Young, the legendary singer/songwriter known for his work with the Youngbloods as well as a prolific solo career, has died at the age of 83. Jesse has left a unique mark on the intersecting worlds of folk, blues, jazz, country, and rock & roll.
As the frontman of The Youngbloods, he immortalised the ideals of the Woodstock generation with “Get Together,” an international hit that called for peace and brotherhood during the turbulent 1960s. An acclaimed songwriter, singer, instrumentalist, producer, label owner, podcast host, and longtime social/environmental activist, he has established a permanent place in America’s musical landscape – while continuing to make modern music that’s every bit as vital as his work during the counterculture era. @followers Rockers Through The Ages Classic Rock 60s 70s 80s 90s Hippies and 60s, 70s Music

So sad to hear that Joey Molland, best known for his work with the now-legendary Welsh band BADFINGER, has died at the age of 77. The news of Joey's passing was announced via a post on the Original Badfinger page, which noted that Molland was surrounded by his longtime girlfriend Mary, his two sons and other family members. No cause of death was provided, but Molland had faced health issues including pneumonia in recent months.
Signed to THE BEATLES' Apple label in the late '60s, BADFINGER would go on to score four consecutive worldwide hits from 1970 to 1972: "Come And Get It", "No Matter What", "Day After Day" and "Baby Blue". In 1971, a cover of the BADFINGER song "Without You" by Harry Nilsson became a No. 1 hit on the Billboard chart. Molland had continued to keep the BADFINGER flame alight through concerts and recordings over the past 40 years.
The members of BADFINGER interacted in various ways with each member of THE BEATLES, including their solo careers. Paul McCartney wrote and produced the band's first single, "Come And Get It". Joey and Tommy Evans played acoustic guitars on John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" and "I Don't Want To Be A Soldier, Momma" on his "Imagine" LP. Pete Ham and Tommy contributed backup vocals on Ringo Starr's "It Don't Come Easy". The entire original BADFINGER lineup contributed to George Harrison's landmark triple-LP set "All Things Must Pass" and the equally groundbreaking fundraising event The Concert For Bangladesh.
The story of BADFINGER is arguably rock's saddest and most tragic tale. But one thing is for certain, the group that practically invented "power pop" was abundantly filled with great talent. Three great songwriters in one band was reminiscent of the group's original label founders, THE BEATLES. Perhaps the most unheralded of the three in BADFINGER was Liverpudlian guitarist Joey Molland. His songwriting talent started to blossom with the group's finest album, 1971's "Straight Up". Molland contributed five songs
Sad news today that Roberta Flack, the four-time Grammy-winning singer who had three songs to top the Billboard Hot 100, has passed away at the age of 88. Flack hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with three singles — “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”, “Killing Me Softly with His Song”, and “Feel Like Makin’ Love,” forever etching her name in music history. She also became the first artist in Grammy history to win the award for Record of the Year in consecutive years — which she did in 1973-74 for “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and “Killing Me Softly.” Rockers Through The Ages Hippies and 60s, 70s Music Classic Rock 60s 70s 80s 90s

British pop star Marianne Faithfull has died peacefully in the company of her family in London, aged 78. The singer was most known for inspiring helping to write some of the Rolling Stones' greatest songs, and dated frontman Mick Jagger for several years. She also created her own musical legacy, specialising in genteel ballads before her voice cracked and coarsened. Faithfull was a celebrity before turning 17, homeless by her mid-20s and an inspiration to peers and younger artists by her early 30s, when her raw, explicit Broken English album brought her the kinds of reviews the Stones had received. Over the following decades, her admirers would include Beck, Billy Corgan, Nick Cave and PJ Harvey, although her history would always be closely tied to the Stones and to the years she dated Mick Jagger.
One of the first songs written by Jagger and Keith Richards, the melancholy As Tears Go By, was her breakthrough hit when released in 1964 and the start of her close and tormented relationship with the band. She and Jagger began seeing each other in 1966 and became one of the most glamorous and notorious couples of Swinging London, with Faithfull once declaring that if LSD "wasn't meant to happen, it wouldn't have been invented". @followers Rockers Through The Ages British Invasion Plus. 60s/70s Rock Forum.
