Jesse Colin Young, the Youngbloods singer known for the hit “Get Together” died Sunday at the age of 83.

TMZ reported Tuesday the folk rocker died from a heart attack, citing the Aiken County Coroner’s Office in South Carolina.

According to the report, the Youngbloods singer died from “cardiac complications of atherosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease.”

Paramedics responded to his home Sunday, and he was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The New York City-born singer and guitarist – with Jerry Corbitt, Lowell “Banana” Levinger and Joe Bauer – fronted the 1960s-70s era rock band.

“Get Together,” the iconic call for love and peace written by Chet Powers, was the group’s only hit.

“It is with deep sadness that we announce music legend Jesse Colin Young, who left a unique mark on the intersecting worlds of folk, blues, jazz, country, and rock & roll, died in his home in Aiken, South Carolina yesterday afternoon,” a statement to PEOPLE read.

“As the frontman of The Youngbloods, he immortalized the ideals of the Woodstock generation with ‘Get Together,’ an international hit that called for peace and brotherhood during the turbulent 1960s.”
