"Get Together", also known as "Let's Get Together", is a song written in the early 1960s by American singer-songwriter Chet Powers (aka Dino Valenti). The song was originally recorded as "Let's Get Together" by The Kingston Trio and released on June 1, 1964, on their album Back in Town. While it was not released as a single, this version was the first to bring the song to the attention of the general public. The Kingston Trio often performed it live. A version of the song first broke into the top forty in 1965, when We Five, produced by Kingston Trio manager Frank Werber, released "Let's Get Together" as the follow-up to their top ten hit "You Were on My Mind". While it did not achieve the same level of success as the other, "Let's Get Together" provided the group with a second top forty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 when it peaked at number thirty-one. It would be their last. Jefferson Airplane recorded a version which was released on August 15, 1966, on their debut album, Jefferson Airplane Takes Off.
In 1966, Chet Powers, in an effort to raise money for his legal defense on drug charges, sold the rights to the song to Frank Werber. Judy Collins performed the song live at the 1966 Newport Folk Festival, and her version was included on a later album compiling highlights of various Newport Festivals. From 1967-1969, "Get Together" was a staple in Joni Mitchell's shows, often playing the song as an encore.

Reclusive singer-songwriter Nick Drake recorded "Get Together" at his home in England in early 1967, before releasing his debut album. Though some of these home recordings have been released on various rarities box sets, his version of this song has not yet been released. In 1967,

The Youngbloods released their version of the song under the title "Get Together". It became a minor Hot 100 hit for them, peaking at number sixty-two. However, renewed interest in the Youngbloods' version came when it was used in a television public service announcement as a call for brotherhood by the National Conference of Christians and Jews. The Youngbloods' version, the most-remembered today, was re-released in 1969, peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100" [Wikipedia]

CD Down at the Sea Hotel .review
..............
Since 2000, the Secret Mountain has released a series of imaginative music-and-storybooks for children including "A Duck in New York City," "The Fabulous Song" and "Dream Songs Night Songs from Mali to Louisiana." In every case, they are available either as a book/CD combo or the CD alone, with the each disc containing computer accessible, printable files with lyrics, illustrations and credits.

This latest entry is "Down at the Sea Hotel," with the Greg Brown-penned title song serving as the cue for whimsical illustrations by Mireille Levert. Fourteen lullabies have been selected for this set, with a nifty crew made up of John Gorka, Eliza Gilkyson, Lucy Kaplansky, Guy Davis, Lynn Miles and The Wailin' Jennys taking turns on lead vocals. For parents who've battled kids' records with thermonuclear cringe-factors ("Fruit Salad" by The Wiggles, anyone?), this series is a god-send, with each and every one fine-tuned to please the kids AND the parents.

The list of tunesmiths represented just on this disc includes Brown, Tom Waits, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Neil Young, Nanci Griffith, Jesse Winchester, Bruce Cockburn, Billy Joel, Don Henley, Steve Earle, Goffin/King and more. It's beautiful stuff, elegantly rendered, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Breast Cancer Fund.
