Jesse Colin Young:
Biography: Perry Miller was born on November 22, 1941, and raised in Queens, New York, to musical parents both originally from Lynn, Massachusetts. His mother, Doryce (Van Sciver), was a violinist and singer with perfect pitch, while his father, Fredrick Miller, was a Harvard-educated accountant. h of his parents had a passion for classical music, and he learned piano from a young age. In 1959, Young won a scholarship to attend Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, where he studied classical guitar; however, he was expelled from the strict academy. After finishing high school, Young enrolled in Ohio State University, where he broadened his musical tastes by living behind a record store. After a semester, Young returned to his parents' home in Pennsylvania, later transferring to New York University in 1961. Young balanced his studies with performances in Greenwich Village; however, he later decided to leave college and become a full-time musician. During this period, he decided on his stage name Jesse Colin Young as a blend of the names of outlaws Jesse James and Cole Younger, and Formula One design engineer and team owner Colin Chapman, as he felt like this was a more appropriate name for the music he performed.
