Nebraskans Zager and Evans were a US rock-pop duo of the late 1960s and early 1970s named after its two members, Denny Zager and Rick Evans.  They are best known for their 1969 hit single In the Year 2525, and the fact that they never had another national hit record.   

Composed by Evans - this song was prescient – warning of the dangers of technology and a future where the human race was destroyed by its own technological and medical innovations.  The last stanza of the song suggests mankind undergoes a continuing cycle of birth, death and rebirth.
