The Youngbloods has 6 people listed as members in MusicBrainz. This list reflects that database, retrieved 2026-11-06. MusicBrainz lists the band as ended, with no current line-up, and gives its active years as 1965–1985.
The roster below includes every person with a “member of band” relation on the MusicBrainz page. It separates the entries into former members because MusicBrainz lists no member without an end date. The entries retain the names, roles, and year information shown by MusicBrainz; where a role or year is not listed, that information remains unknown rather than being inferred.
Former Members
- Michael Kane – not listed, 1971–1972
- David Perper – drums, years not listed
- Jerry Corbitt – guitar, years not listed
- Jesse Colin Young – bass, lead vocals, years not listed
- Joe Bauer – drums/percussion, years not listed
- Lowell Levinger – piano, guitar, years not listed, years not listed
These six entries are the complete member list reflected by MusicBrainz for this page. Michael Kane’s entry includes the years 1971–1972, while the other five entries have years not listed. That difference should be read only as a difference in the available year fields: it does not supply dates for the entries where years are missing. The missing year information is unknown, not evidence for any particular start or end date.
Roles are also presented only as listed. MusicBrainz does not list a role for Michael Kane in this member relation. For the other entries, the roles shown are drums, guitar, bass and lead vocals, drums/percussion, and piano and guitar, respectively. This roster does not add role descriptions or assign roles where the database does not provide one.

MusicBrainz lists the band’s status as ended and does not show a current line-up. Accordingly, this page has a former-members section and no current-members section. The roster and timeline describe what MusicBrainz lists; they do not turn unknown dates into a sequence or imply additional membership details beyond the entries shown.
How This List Was Compiled
