Felix Cavaliere is one of the greatest singers ever!!!! Still performing mid 70s. Their in the Rock n Roll hall of Fame and truly deserve it. Sooooo many very good timeless songs!!
The Rascals music is timeless. Yes, Felix Cavaliere's voice and musical talents are legendary. Kudos to all of the members of the Rascals. Thanks for the great reaction Harri as always. ✌👍✌👍
It sounds so familiar yet I'm not so sure. What a treat to get turned onto a song that's 56-years-old and one that was released when your dad was flying combat in Southeast Asia. Solid gold, Imadrummin -- I've Been Lonely Too Long is fire! Thanks to you and Harri.
@@pncombies My pleasure my friend. This song is another gem from a long list of Rascal hits. I have a few more for Harri down the road. Take care brother. 👍👍👍
This was the song that got me hooked on the Rascals. Felix Cavaliere has one of most beautiful voices ever. Still listen to the Rascals almost every day.
The Rascals were a four-piece band, but the essence of their sound, IMO, was Felix Cavaliere's vocals/organ and Dino Danelli's drumming. They were the driving force.
Loved the (Young) Rascals since their first song hit the airwaves!! My favorite of all their wonderful songs is How Can I Be Sure. Groovin' is another great one, & a 60's classic!!!
This New Jersey band, started out as The Young Rascals but dropped the Young in 1968. Such a groovy band they also brought us Groovin' and A Beautiful Morning. This great tune from 1967, has the rhythm track based on The Temptations song " Aint Too Proud to Beg" released in 1966. The vocals, lyrics, the beautiful organ whirling through out all so typical of the great 60's music. This tune made it to Number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100's and Number 7 in Canada. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Imadrummin. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I've been a Rascals fan since they first started. They were, along with the Righteous Brothers, considered "blue eyed soul" during the 60s. Thank you for doing this song. Sadly, their drummer Dino Dinelli recently passed. I think he was one of the greatest drummers of all time. The organ player, Felix, and guitar player, Gene, still perform together with other musicians. I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention their singer, Eddie Brigati. He doesn't tour with them any longer, but he did a lot of lead vocals for the band, and both he and his brother Dave also did back up for many songs.
Love your reaction to the Rascals! They were a blue-eyed soul group from New Jersey in the sixties. Felix is a powerful singer still to this day and for a group of New Jersey kids, they lit the radio waves on fire! He's their keyboardist and is still dragging around his original 1965 Hammond organ on tours. Just an incredible talent. Thanks for the amazing review😎
Felix Cavaliere is the great singer. Actually theres two great singers in the band the other is Eddy Brigatti I know he sang lead on How can I Be Sure and others. Their in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and sure deserve to be there. Felix still performs occasionally
Thanks Imadrummin for requesting this. Takes me back to the days of fantastic music all the time. When they started out they were called the Young Rascals. Naturally they outgrew that quickly and dropped Young. They had several big hits but I don’t think they were ever signed by Motown. Thanks for the great reaction Harri. 👏👏🇨🇦
Great 60's group! They started out as "The Young Rascals" but later were just known as "The Rascals". They were considered rock & blue-eyed soul. You've done a lot of their hits already. Other songs are "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore", "You Better Run", "People Got To Be Free", "A Girl Like You", "It's Wonderful" etc.
Man, The Rascals had so much soul. Singer/Keyboards Felix Cavallari, driving in my car headed to the Beach on a hot summer day, it was the best. Lots of great music in that time period.
The high falsetto vocals are by Eddie Brigati along with his brother, Dave. Dave was originally with Joey Dee and the Starlighters who introduced the Peppermint Twist. They even opened a NYC club called, The Peppermint Lounge. Proud to ay the Brigati brothers grew up in m hometown of Garfield, N.J. Dave was my Sophomore high school sweetheart. Both great talents and sweet guys.
Great request, Imadrummin! Harri, Rascals lead singer-songwriter Felix Cavaliere is still alive. The band is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Such amazing songs and sounds and grooves.
These guys were so good and they hit in a time where music was in transition. I loved all their stuff and they were very much a part of the sound track of our lives back then.
Felix Cavaliere is one of the greatest singers ever! Definitely one ofy favorite groups ever. Their in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and sure deserve to be there Felix is still performing mid 70s.
By some accounts, and hindsight, the Rascals may be considered the original “Blue Eyed Soul” group. At least the precursors the 70s and 80s when the moniker took hold.
The sounds of the 60's borrowed from each other all the time. Why not? The end product was all on the same radio station then. No favoritism. Well, maybe the Beatles. For instance: "You keep me hanging on" both Supremes AND Vanilla Fudge (and I think, the Temptations) Try the Rascals. "How can I be sure" for a singing lesson, and a love song for you and everyone you love!
You mentioned Motown and it was right at the time where motown was still big and the 60's were still into that dance beat and sound. I can still remember hearing both styles of music played at Teen Town dances, it was all great dance music. ♡
Thanks ImaDrummin & Harri , great to her The Rascals (The Young Rascals) anytime😂 My girlfriends & I used to sing & dance to all the songs they recorded back in the 60’s - 70’s … great choice !💓
Harri Felix Cavaliere did two albums with legendary Stax Records & Booker T. & M.G. guitarist Steve Cropper and one of my favorite tune from those albums is Without You. Give it a spin you can't go wrong with these two legends. Take care.
I loved the Rascals and was lucky enough to see them live in Hawaii in 1966 (1967?). As a matter of fact, I believed that I belonged on stage with them ... Security disagreed wih me and removed me! 😊 However I took that opportunity to sneak backstage and I succeeded in getting an autograph from each of them!! I, of course, still have that Program booklet with their autographs. Such good times and the best music. Thank you for sharing this ... I love your reaction to the Rascals. God bless you.
A lesser known genre of that time was the Philadelphia Sound which was distinct to Detroit's Motown. Neil Sedaka, Nazz, etc. Hall & Oats are a later version of it. Checkout Nazz, Runt, and Todd Rundgren music.
THANKS for doing this one, my very favorite of the group's fine catalog and Felix Cavaliere, who sings and plays that Hammond B-3 organ...he is truly one of the best singers/players/writers and performers of his era. Dino Danelli (RIP) on drums was fantastic as well. Good on you Harri!
HarriBest i think the only White Group signed to Motown was Rear Earth great Band give a listen to I Just Want To Celebrate or Get Ready or I Know Im Losing You thanks
felix cavalier is the lead singer. and they were great and very overlooked. the 60's was the best music era ever.because the comp among the groups was intense because the talent level of each group was so deep that we still listen to it and love it to this day.
They had some great hits, originally called The Young Rascals, which they were still called, when I saw them live in 1967 or 1968, at the University of Miami. Unfortunately, they sounded pretty bad, maybe because something was wrong with the audio setup, or they didn't do proper sound checks, or hadn't rehearsed, I don't know. A little while later in that same year I saw The Happenings at the same venue, who had had some cover hits, such as See You in September, and they sounded absolutely fantastic, and the lead vocalist was great.

The voice is Felix Cavaliere and, yes, he is a great singer as well as keyboardist.
..... and producer too
For a few short years these guys were the greatest American band in my opinion, from about 1966-1968 anyway..❤
On the drums was the late, great Dino Danelli who was probably the greatest drummer ever.
Felix Cavaliere is one of the greatest singers ever!!!! Still performing mid 70s. Their in the Rock n Roll hall of Fame and truly deserve it. Sooooo many very good timeless songs!!
The Hammond B-3 when played through a Leslie cabinet was like listening to heaven. Felix Cavaliere was a master at it.
With a Leslie speaker the B3 became a living breathing creature, especially when played by artists like Felix.
The Rascals music is timeless. Yes, Felix Cavaliere's voice and musical talents are legendary. Kudos to all of the members of the Rascals. Thanks for the great reaction Harri as always. ✌👍✌👍

His name is Felix Cavaliere. I just love the Rascals. They are lots of songs for you to react to.
Felix singing and playing the hammond b3. They were a great band.
Love the Rascals.. thanks for the request 😊
You are welcome Diane.👍
My fav Rascals tune.What a groove..RIP Dino Danelli
This was the song that got me hooked on the Rascals. Felix Cavaliere has one of most beautiful voices ever. Still listen to the Rascals almost every day.
Marvin Gaye. Felix Cavaliere. Absolutely! Indeed, totally agree … Motown, excellent observation.
Wow the 60s such great music for the most part definitely better than anything today
The Rascals made so much great music. I had that album.
You are right. Felix was an incredibly fantastic singer.
They don’t make them like this anymore Harri.
That's known as Italian soul
The Rascals were a four-piece band, but the essence of their sound, IMO, was Felix Cavaliere's vocals/organ and Dino Danelli's drumming. They were the driving force.
50,6070 AND SOME 80'S MUSIC IS BEST
Loved the (Young) Rascals since their first song hit the airwaves!! My favorite of all their wonderful songs is How Can I Be Sure. Groovin' is another great one, & a 60's classic!!!
I was wondering if I were the only one who would remember The Young Rascals. 😊
This New Jersey band, started out as The Young Rascals but dropped the Young in 1968. Such a groovy band they also brought us Groovin' and A Beautiful Morning.

Felix Cavaliere is the singers name. Great singer, and keyboardest. He still plays to this day as well.
If you see their live version of this on Ed Sullivan you will NOT regret it!
I agree. You need to see them play this song live on the Ed Sullivan Show. You’ll see why their drummer Dino Danelli was top tier.
@@skydogfan4671 Dino all the way baby!👍🏻
Yay ! More Rascals ! One of New Jersey,s best .
Felix Cavaliere is the great singer. Actually theres two great singers in the band the other is Eddy Brigatti
I know he sang lead on How can I Be Sure and others. Their in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and sure deserve to be there. Felix still performs occasionally
Try listening to "People gotta be free" and pay attention to the words and the meaning of the song.
This band brings back so many wonderful memories. The 60's.❤❤❤

The were on Atlantic Records.
Harri doing a lot of the songs of my youth.

One of my favorite al time bands. Felix is such a great singer and keyboard player.
The Rascals also covered "The Midnight Hour" and "Mustang Sally" which were Wilson Picket songs.
The Rascals best song... thank you Harri
Great request, Imadrummin! Harri, Rascals lead singer-songwriter Felix Cavaliere is still alive. The band is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Such amazing songs and sounds and grooves.
Thank you Marcus Oh-really-yes! Much appreciated my fellow Bestie. 👍
All Four of the rascals are still alive. Dino Danelli, Gene Cornish and Eddie Brigati
These guys were so good and they hit in a time where music was in transition. I loved all their stuff and they were very much a part of the sound track of our lives back then.
Next to Beatles the Rascals were my next favorite band
Then came the Temptations
Turn up..them ear buds !
Time Peace album by The Rascals filled with great songs .....IMO
Felix Cavaliere is one of the greatest singers ever! Definitely one ofy favorite groups ever. Their in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and sure deserve to be there

I saw Felix 2 years ago at a local casino and he sounds great .
Love it!
Great voice of Felix.
Great group, great music, I own this album
At 80 years old now, Felix Cavaliere is still touring with The Rascals but don't think with the original lineup.
Thanks ImaDrummin & Harri , great to her The Rascals (The Young Rascals) anytime😂 My girlfriends & I used to sing & dance to all the songs they recorded back in the 60’s - 70’s … great choice !💓
If go on the flower power tour they play on the ship and the cowsells were there to

I think Southside Johnny was inspired by Felix....great stuff Harri!

Ima, this was an ace submission from earlier days; very enjoyable. Splendid review, Harri.
Thank you my brother!!!👍👍👍

Great song I absolutely love The Rascals. Thanks, Imadrummin and Harri...
Appreciate ya!! My pleasure. Love the Rascals.👍👍👍
Excellent group, you keep bringing me back to my teenage years. I was 19 when this one came out!
Felix and the band were incredible!
felix cavalier is the lead singer. and they were great and very overlooked. the 60's was the best music era ever.because the comp among the groups was intense because the talent level of each group was so deep that we still listen to it and love it to this day.
Check out Eric Burdon and War ,"Spill The Wine" from 1970...it's still got such a relevant timeless sound.!
Contemporaries of PR&R it was an East coast West Coast rivalry
Well the guy singing is the Guy playing the Organ.
Could you do the rascals " A girl like you"
Not girls backgrounding . That's Gene Cornish and Eddie Brigatti and i think Eddie's brother.
you should watch some of the live performances
They had some great hits, originally called The Young Rascals, which they were still called, when I saw them live in 1967 or 1968, at the University of Miami. Unfortunately, they sounded pretty bad, maybe because something was wrong with the audio setup, or they didn't do proper sound checks, or hadn't rehearsed, I don't know. A little while later in that same year I saw The Happenings at the same venue, who had had some cover hits, such as See You in September, and they sounded absolutely fantastic, and the lead vocalist was great.
First white act signed to Atlantic records.
Their best rockin' song is "Good Lovin'."
Do I Deserve Such Great Music ?
Do Paul McCartney and Wings. Letting go.
They were first the Young Rascals and I guess as they aged just a little, changed to just The Rascals. They are definitely not one hit wonders.
I guess that Charley Pride faced similar stereotypical reactions in his country music career as are expressed in this criticism.
Wheres the criticism?
The drums are a little too loud for me. They drown out the singer.
