John C. Stewart is an American singer/songwriter. He sang with The Kingston Trio from 1961 to 1967, when he left to pursue a solo career. He penned the song "Daydream Believer", which became a #1 pop hit for The Monkees in 1967. In 1979, Stewart scored his own performing success with the song "Gold", a #5 pop hit in 1979, from the album 'Bombs Away Dream Babies'. John Stewart then went back into relative obscurity but continued to record for minor labels without significant commercial success although his songs have been covered by Roseanne Cash, Nanci Griffith and others. He continues to release new recording regularly and still does occasional live performances in the United States and Europe.
His brother Michael Stewart was the leader of 1960's folk group, The We Five, and produced Billy Joel's first two albums.
