In 1965, Youngman's family moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan where he attended Loy Norrix High School.
In 1967, at the early age of 16 years, he started a band with school mates called Super Jerome's Magic Band.
This eclectic punk blues band consisted of two saxophones,a trumpet, guitar, harp, bass guitar, and drums.
Super Jerome’s Magic Band performed and rehearsed at Kalamazoo College Blackspot and performed many times at the Crazy Horse club in Kalamazoo.
At their appearance on May 5, 1968, "they completely destroyed two guitars, a television set, and a washing machine as m-80 fireworks exploded and the drum section from the Loy Norrix marching band marched back and forth across the stage dodging the bits of glass and other flying debris.
Youngman explained that the band was more out for the personal satisfaction of assaulting the culture rather than making money."
