And I`m only 65 and this song can bring me to tears, a classic from 1967 when my mother was still alive, she passed away just 2 years later, if ONLY I could go back in time.
This story was shared with me by an old friend: Before I left to serve my country in Vietnam, when I was a teenager, I would go to Diane’s house to listen to records. Diane’s parents were very friendly and with 4 teen and preteen children of their own they were glad to host the neighborhood kids as long as it didn’t get out of hand. Other than noise and foot stompin’ to the groovy tunes of the Beatles, The Monkees, The Doors, The Turtles, The Buckinghams and yes, The Rascals, we were well behaved. I was a skinny kid, weighed about 115 pounds and stood about 5 foot 5. I hadn’t begun my growth spurt when I first started going to Diane’s. And neither Diane, whom I adored, or her girlfriends paid much attention to this little goofball. And then as years went on and as I grew, one by one the guys in the group were shipped off to Vietnam and things at Diane’s got quieter and quieter. As I grew Diane started to pay more attention to me and by the time it was my turn to go, well, I could honestly say Diane was my gal. But, with my impending departure off to war I couldn’t be sure if Diane would still be there when I got back from ‘Nam. The Rascals song “How Can I Be Sure” played over and over in my mind. I wouldn’t be surprised if Diane found someone else during my absence and I told her if she did find another guy that I would understand. On our last night together we were alone on her couch, Diane’s parents respecting our need for privacy stepped out for dinner. We held hands and listened to music and as this song played in the background we kissed pleasantly but somewhat awkwardly for the first time. How could I know at the time that it would be the first of thousands of kisses we would eventually share? But still I wondered as I shipped out, how can I be sure? As often as Diane tried to assure me it constantly nagged at me for the 11 months I served in combat. Well, it needn’t have bothered me. When I got home Diane was at the bus station to greet me. It was the happiest day of my life. It turns out that I could have been sure the whole time. Just before this past Thanksgiving I said goodbye to Diane for the last time after nearly 50 years together. Yes, it was and still is sad for me. But I know one glorious day when I am called home, I will say hello to Diane once again. How can I be sure? I just know, Diane told me I would.
My favorite Rascals tune. What a vocal range. Wonderful writing. It's got it all and I love it. Loved it for a gozillion years now. Peace to all you Rascals fans out there.
I absolutely love this song it is the most amazing mesmerising video is the blonde lady in the video Julie Christie she is beautiful. The lead singer is so handsome, could listen to this song on repeat for ever.
Yeah isn't it funny how much the sounds exactly like the studio cut on their album that's so strange I wonder why that is oh yeah it's because everybody especially the ones who made these little television Studio show appearances would lip sync and thats facts facts facts all day long do your homework and research and find out yourself and I apologize for bursting your bubble of ignorance but like when a woman has sex for the first time her hymen is broken and its just gotta be done. I mean sure you can go about trying to do it a certain way but the way i see it is it's just gotta be broken so just get it done & over with you know?
+Wolf Boy Ok, not my favorite Rascals songs but it doesn't matter because this guy's voice was so incredible, I love to hear anything he sang. I wish the guy eternity.
+Jeremiah Strong Hi Jeremiah, lets contact WWE or maybe Dana White at UFC to see if we can set up a charity fight. My only request is that you can't used napalm, radioactive pepper spray or a machete with more than an 18" blade in our fight.
The key to Eddie’s vocal prowess is quite simple. He was gifted with those incredible Italian singing genes. Pure and simple. (and I’m not even Italian!) Kudos to the Sons of Italy.
It's not that simple. I'm thoroughly Italian and I can't sing to save my life. Now, I've got relatives who are pretty good but it looks like there's a lot of scatter in singing talent among the Italians I know. But Eddie Brigati, yeah, he can sing.
Bravo, Eddie Brigatti. What a great singing voice you have. How Can I Be Sure was such a great song, the words had such meaning. You sang it great. The Rascals are #1 to me. All the members so talented. Thank you for the great music.
I was born in 1979 and I love music from this era but its something about this song that you just feel warm in side in this video if anbody knows they show a girl was this song in a movie or something well Thanks for thos beautiful song
I have loved this song since The Rascals recorded it, I was 16 then and I'm, almost 70 now. Thanks for the live video. So many memories of that time in this.
Yes. All I knew when I was a teenager was... that I loved this song ( and... the Rascals were my favorite American group! ). But... as I grew older... I began to realize just how difficult a song it REALLY IS... to. deliver. It requires amazing vocal range....by someone with an AMAZING VOICE!!! That would be Eddie Brigati!!!
David Weiss..... Yes. I do believe just as you do. NO ONE ELSE COULD HAVE DELIVERED THIS SONG AS EDDIE BRIGATI DID! That is because.... Not ONLY did he have a great voice.... but... Eddie Brigati had an AMAZING VOCAL RANGE!!!
If you grew up in the Northeast, The Young Rascals were like The Beach Boys. It was impossible to spin the radio dial and not hear them. They were the Northeast's Garage Band.
" in a world constantly changing" ... who would have thought it WOULD have changed so much... i really really want to go back to 1967 ... beautiful music ...
+Karen MacGregor Agree completely. With the rap crap and other hate songs, I enjoyed this era's much more. And there were no songs with cussing and such. Times and music has changed.
Always loved the Accordion playing in the background; gives the song kind of an Italian/Jewish "Old World" quality, like when you fall in love for the first time with a Jewish girl from college. I remember those days :)
Memories when I was 10 or 11 in the mid 60's riding at the back of my old man's car, an early model AMC Ambassador station wagon, sky blue with the window roll down, Rambler. And this song was playing. Back than I didn't really thinking about song, just my old man's Rambler;🙂
Eddies linguine fueled vocals are right up there with Motown's finest soul singers. Makes me proud to be Italian. Oh yeah I almost forgot, I grew up about 20 minutes from these guys. Jersey is a great place.
I know as the years pass, styles change with them all around, but I could never understand how this style of music couldn't keep going on forever, but it's not forgotten.
These guys were HUGE in the mid to late 60's ! On the radio 24/7.All the way through my College years they were featured on the Radio and TV.What a great collection of hit songs they created, that sound as good NOW, as they did then ! What great memories of some fantastic times.1967 was the BEST year ever in Rock History, as so many great groups and sounds, from every music genre emerged during the " Summer of Love". You younger folks[ I am 68], should have been there to experience the things that were exploding everywhere in the music industry.Nothing has ever happened since that would ever compare to 1967 !
I am 53 years old, born in 1967. My favorite music era by a LONG shot belongs to the 1960s. I always joke that I was born in the wrong decade. These songs were played all of the time while I was growing up. As I got older I dug more deeply into the era. I discovered more music. It seemed as if it would never end, but eventually, it pretty much did, because the 60s ended. I laugh when I see people say "This music brings back memories of good times" and they're 20 years older than I am. It's because for me, it brings back memories of the good times as well. I never really cared for the music from my era. Oh; and yes, I agree, this is one of the greatest songs ever.
With all of the anti war protests and songs (Viet Nam), this is a love song, that is pure. One of the best I've ever heard, as the song speaks of love and devotion. A needed song for those days, and possible these days, also.
I guess what Biden is doing to us is even more beautiful. There were a lot of non-protest songs then , really the protest songs were a small minority on the radio. You can never be sure. One day you're the young rascals then the rascals. Touch me but don't take me down ? I can't understand such depth.
@@suek6477 ..... Yes, I do NOT believe that it is an underrated song, either. I was in high school when this song came out (1966). Now.... what I DID come to realize was... that it took a great voice to sing it... and... that it took an AMAZING VOCAL RANGE, also! Those two qualities sure were possessed by Eddie Brigati! I had meant that... as I became older... I surely did realize this. And, yes... Just as the original commenter had said....this song is, " second to none "!!!
I used to hear this on the radio as a kid...now I'm seeing them here for the first time! I love his voice..and smile! "I LOVE You, I LOVE You Forever...You know where I can be FOUND!"God I Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of if not the best song recorded by this group. Eddie's delivery is heart felt, the vocals are absolutely spot on, and the message is...well you figure it out
A beautiful song--they don't make them like this anymore...
11 лет назад+4
especially for "a girl like you"...those times are gone but live on in the music. they were miraculous times.. I miss them. you are one beautiful lady.
ronald lucero Ron are you the original " lounge lizard" ? shirt collar to your shoulders, unbuttoned almost to your navel, gold chains , blown dry hair, oh yeah ronnie that's you baby.
How is it that this song evokes so much emotion. It has all the ingredients. Writing perfection. Instrumentation is excellent. Eddie's vocal range is impeccable. He certainly brings out the best in the lyrics and it's great to know that there was a true story attached to it. Timeless!!
From September 1967 it was very popular on the radio before they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show on WCBS TV ch.2 New York. I was a boy in my old hometown of NYC in those days.
One of the best love songs of the late '60s/"hippie" era in rock & rock-related music (since these guys were also blue-eyed Soul progenitors). Anyway, that's saying a LOT. Still brings me to tears, many years after hearing it around the age of 11, for the first time...

Mine too!
Susan I am 65🥲😢the years go buy! I think of a women I lost, I am still in love with her!🥲
Muy favorite then and still my favorite @ 76 years young!

Amazing song...teary eyed! Does anyone else get teary eyes? The memories of my childhood comes up for me.
I do! Such a gr8 song.
Yes very nostalgic to me too. Absolute beautiful song! Could listen over and over.
I'm crying.
Absolutely your not alone 😢memories of my childhood
Feel that way everyday. 😔
This song alone will live and define the 60's decade.
I'm 72 now and this takes me back to a time when music and times were good. The Rascals were awesome. I miss those days.

They had some great songs so underated 😢❤
Memories memories all those lovely memories thanks for sharing
Wow, Eddie's vocals are just incredible. Voice like an angel.
The perfect song to waltz to beautiful
An extremely difficult song to sing. One of the best ever written and delivered from the 60's
1mikera I agree, It's not easy to sing. But with lots of practice, I can sing it easily now. My karaoke homies love it!
not terribly easy to play, either
Awesome chord progression!
@@roh3974 What is the chord progression?
cuts right to the soul.
One of the greatest songs of all time and I'm willing to fight anyone who feels differently

Yes one of the most beautiful songs ever.
"It's a pity I can't seem to find someone who's as pretty and lovely as you"🥰🥰🥰
The are an amazing group. We all loved the songs, but most of us would not recognize the guys if we ran into them back then or now
This is the Rascal's best song. takes me back to memory lane..
I was born in 1979 and I love music from this era but its something about this song that you just feel warm in side in this video if anbody knows they show a girl was this song in a movie or something well Thanks for thos beautiful song
I have loved this song since The Rascals recorded it, I was 16 then and I'm, almost 70 now. Thanks for the live video. So many memories of that time in this.
Who ever wrote this song had a moment of poetic inspiration. A divine touch of transcendence.
THIS is music.
Classic.
Thankyou.
One of the most pure vocals ever
This group was in a "field of their own." Some of the BEST music!
Eddie was top drawer. One of the most underrated songs of all time, and a very difficult vocal buy anyone's standards
Top drawer in an eight-drawer tall boy, Fo' Sho'...

@@debraweaver6308 I cover this on my channel...1Mikera.... it's got some flaws but, give it a listen and leave a comment.
I went to concert in 1971 starring The Rascals and Badfinger and I love the two bands!!
I agree with every sentiment I've read here. Incredible song, and legendary performance from Eddie. No one else could've delivered this as he did.
David Weiss..... Yes. I do believe just as you do. NO ONE ELSE COULD HAVE DELIVERED THIS SONG AS EDDIE BRIGATI DID! That is because.... Not ONLY did he have a great voice.... but... Eddie Brigati had an AMAZING VOCAL RANGE!!!
Eddie, a marvelous vocalist, nailed it on this tune!! A difficult song to sing for sure!
I love this song. It’s unusual to have a waltz tempo in a rock song.
If you grew up in the Northeast, The Young Rascals were like The Beach Boys. It was impossible to spin the radio dial and not hear them. They were the Northeast's Garage Band.
What a voice...these guys really know how to mellow and rock at the same time.
Even at this time in my life(75) I still get tears in my eyes remembering the summer of 1967 when this song was playing.
This music is timeless. I really miss the good old days!
Thank you, Eddie for singing a wonderful song.
Also for writing this song with Felix & Eddie's brother, David! One in a million song that blows you away!
" in a world constantly changing" ... who would have thought it WOULD have changed so much... i really really want to go back to 1967 ... beautiful music ...
+Karen MacGregor I want to go back too!.....I miss it back then so much...at least we can still listen to the music...
+Karen MacGregor Agree completely. With the rap crap and other hate songs, I enjoyed this era's much more. And there were no songs with cussing and such. Times and music has changed.
The cars were better, too...At least, they were made from REAL metal.
I wish I could give you a million thumbs up Karen. I echo your sentiment.
"... I really really want to go back to 1967..." Get in line pal!

An incredible, timeless pop tune...... in a waltz time signature no less
"I love you, I love you forever..... " My God fhe way Eddie Brigati sings those words..... Gets me every time
Feel the same thing. Gets me every time. U can feel the passion! Wow!
Eddies linguine fueled vocals are right up there with Motown's finest soul singers. Makes me proud to be Italian. Oh yeah I almost forgot, I grew up about 20 minutes from these guys. Jersey is a great place.

Absolutely my favorite song by this group. Simply awesome
The most underrated singer of the 60's, I think so.
+Paul Robinson How are they underrated?
+MIKECNW I mean that Eddie is, nobody ever mentions his name when talking about great singers of the 60's.
+Paul Robinson Dino, as well. The whole band criminally underrated!!!
Dave You don't know what you're talking about.
It's not like they were some obscure group and this song was one of their hits.
Paul Robinson So what.
Truly a great song from an underappreciated band
This group...so Under rated.
No they're not underrated any longer. They were inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
How can I be sure in a world that's constantly changing?How true.
Eddie has street named for him in his hometown of Garfield NJ.
Luv those Jersey Boys
The Rascals.
GREAT SONGS!...

One of the greatest songs ever written and performed.
From September 1967 it was very popular on the radio before they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show on WCBS TV ch.2 New York. I was a boy in my old hometown of NYC in those days.
One of the best love songs of the late '60s/"hippie" era in rock & rock-related music (since these guys were also blue-eyed Soul progenitors). Anyway, that's saying a LOT. Still brings me to tears, many years after hearing it around the age of 11, for the first time...
It really does tug on the heart strings
It makes me cry as well
One of my all-time favorites :-)
How I love this song! My favorite Rascal song!
