The singer, born Joseph Allen McDonald, was 84 years old.

Country Joe and the Fish was one of the most influential groups in the San Francisco music scene in the mid to late ’60s, addressing counterculture issues like protesting the Vietnam War and recreational drug use.

They’re known for songs like “I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-to-Die Rag,” one of the the era’s most recognizable anti-Vietnam War protest songs.

The group, founded by McDonald and Barry “The Fish” Melton, released two albums — their debut album, 1967’s “Electric Music for the Mind and Body,” and “I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-to-Die,” which came out later that year.

The band disbanded in 1971.

McDonald went on to have a solo career, and continued to release songs with political messages, highlighting environmental issues and civil rights.
