The soulful and wonderful voice of lead singer of 'The Rascals' Felix Cavaliere. This was one of their biggest hits back in 1968. I was a 14-year-old boy back then and enjoying the great sounds of the times. We listen to these great artists back then on our AM Transistor radio we held in the palm of our hands. Now I am a 69-year-old senior citizen listening to the great sounds of my youth once again. Awesome!
I was 16 years and 4 months old👨🏼. I remember how wonderful and magical those times were. All those great love songs went hand in hand with summer camp. And summers were forever. 👴🏼
I do have a cold beer when I look them up after work...I get in a better mood...and usually the same 5. I love what they discover and of course, the reaction..love them
One of the local stations in Calif played this song at 6 a.m. every day, just when my alarm went off, time to get ready for school. It was a great idea and made the morning even better, every day.
Simply put, the Rascals are one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. My personal favorite track is a cut off their brilliant second album (Collections) entitled "What is the Reason?" It is the perfect song. Nothing wasted. Just perfection.
@@mamb70 For sure. The Rascals are so great. I would still like to see some other deserving '60s bands like Tommy James and the Shondells, Three Dog Night, Herman's Hermits, and the Monkees get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
PLEASE watch the video with them performing this back then. I listen to this EVERY morning. 🌄 "No sense in staying inside if the weather's fine and you've got the time." 💛
You must hear A girl like you , that’s my favorite Rascal number but they have so many hits . Fun fact they were the first American band to refuse to play in front of a segregated audience . The Beatles were first . They also signed with a black owned record company Atlantic records who gave them full jurisdiction over the production of their records .
Much appreciated! Felix Cavaliere is one of the greatest singers ever, hats off to the band members. Good Lovin' may be their biggest hit, soooo good. Eddy Brigatti is the other great singer there does How can I be Sure, very good song They got inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and sure deserve it
Love the way you guys react to.and analyze a song. Numerous hits by The Rascals. One of my favorites is 'How Can I Be Sure?' Please react to it if you haven't ready.
Shawn & Mel, you both rock! I am an older Latino but I have been living in this great country for 40 years and I appreciate great music. The Rascals are an awesome band and I am going to see them in the Lynn Auditorium in June. It’s a beautiful morning is one of my favorite tunes, it makes me feel alive. Blessings from Boston my brothers and sisters.
Shawn and Mel, when i saw that you all were reacting to this song, i hurried to listen. This is one of my favorite songs in life!❤ While watching I kept remembering the 4th grade, 1968, Miss Miller, (married 2b Mrs. Mack). She and her husband were bonifed hippies. She taught in BCPS in the hood, driving a powder blue VW Beetle and sometimes a VW bus... both decked out with painted daisies! She played this type music for us and i have been a hippie ever since! 😂 Great times, we grew up during the best of them. Musical diversity at its finest. ❤
It's a beautiful day.. just groovin' with the Rascals. That was a banger! They put you in a good mood, good vibes. Shawn you look dapper today and Mel, I have to say you look beautiful; you're glowing. Enjoy your day! xx
Rascals were a great group, my personal opinion is they were very underated and didn’t get near the recognition they should have, they were up there yes but but should have been higher, this song here still today gives you the same feeling or vibe that it did when it first was released, you guys Gotta do more of them, Aint gonna eat out my heart anymore is Awsome, you better run will really get you going 😁. Love listening to you guys, youve got me thru a very rough time when my Son died in January, I watch your videos for hours at a time. God Bless!!!
There is a live version of them doing “I’ve been lonely too long “ on the Ed Sullivan show that is really good. Shawn, you would love the drummer. Please, I’m begging you to react to that.
My older sister bought the 45 of this as soon it came out and played it constantly on her record player (yes, record player) and it became part of the soundtrack of my youth. To this day I sometimes think, "why are you just stayin inside." Go out and be part of the day. 🙂
A few years ago when I thought I was terminal. This was the first song I wanted to hear. When you think your days are numbers something as simple as a beautiful morning is important. Fortunately I survived.
I'm sure I'm not alone but I am so glad you two discovered The (Young) Rascals! Now after you do, "Mustang Sally", "Slow Down", "A Girl Like You", & "People Got To Be Free", then you've got to check out their live performances on The Ed Sullivan Show, "I've Been Lonely Too Long" and "Mickey's Monkey" the longer version of their performance on 2/12/1967 @ 3:26! ✌🏼😉
Lots of good recommendations for more Rascals here. I would add "Lonely Too Long", another big hit for them that is perhaps my favorite from this group.
TY Shawn and Mel I am so grateful you got back to The Rascals, they certainly put out so masterpieces that have lasted through time. For me when the were The Young Rascals or just The Rascals they made some music that to this day I still listen to. I would suggest the next one should be my all time favourite "How Can I Be Sure" and knowing your love I am positive you will love love love it. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘🎶🎶🎶🎶💖💖💖💖
You two are right on. One thing about the Rascals is their songs were always positive and upbeat, which in the 60s wasn't all that common. Give us more!
"Timepeace" was the first greatest hits album I ever bought. I wore the grooves out of it on vinyl, bought a CD of it, and now it;s a playlist on my Iphone. Times change, but classics like this are forever. These guys were so talented and their sound was so enjoyable!
Hey, I love you guys, and as always, I enjoy your reactions, the best on RUclips! I enjoy being a member of the S&M Squad. This is one of my favorite songs and I wanted to drop it off but other members of the squad beat me to it. I thoroughly enjoyed your reactions as always.
"Good Lovin " People Gotta Be Free" "You Better Run" "Ain't Gonna Eat My Heart Out Anymore" are some of the Rascals hits.
How Can I Be Sure..great song!
Yes thanks Diane, can’t forget How am I Be Sure, they will absolutely love that classic! I maybe wrong, I think there is a live one too on RUclips.
Oops,
How Can I be Sure!
"How Can I Be Sure" is another amazing song by The Young Rascals.... the vocals are incredible!
YES!!!!!! Forgot all about that song!!!
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Also "A Girl Like You"
Love How can I be Sure.
Yes!
Rascals are so underrated
Every song they made was a gem!!! My favorite is How Can I Be Sure.
By the great Eddy Brigatti. Man, two great singers in one group. Awesome

Same age, best era for music ever! Old Motown/Soul up to and including Metallica!🎸✌
@@user_aikensfinest_md Agreed! I considered the music of the 60's as the greatest decade of every music genre in Rock & Roll history. Priceless!
I was 16 years and 4 months old👨🏼. I remember how wonderful and magical those times were. All those great love songs went hand in hand with summer camp. And summers were forever. 👴🏼
Yes they sound like a philadelphia pa group the soul surivors
You two are a bit late aren't you? Tha song came out in the 60's. Glad you found them!
Keep The Rascals coming!! People Gotta be Free, I've been lonely too long and A girl like you!
When Shawn and Mel posts a video it's like drinking a cold beer after a hard day of working under the sun.
That's a good way of saying it!👍🏻😃
@Louis B
Hi dear Louis, I wish you the best in your life my friend. 💙
I do have a cold beer when I look them up after work...I get in a better mood...and usually the same 5. I love what they discover and of course, the reaction..love them
"How Can I Be Sure" is a beautiful song...
One of the local stations in Calif played this song at 6 a.m. every day, just when my alarm went off, time to get ready for school. It was a great idea and made the morning even better, every day.
Really was no other band quite like The Rascals! Thanks
Lov'in the Blue Eyed Soul, Italian Style!
You gotta check out one of their all time biggest hits: “Good Loving”.
This song will just take you away from all your worries and troubles. The Rascals had that way about them.
This song should be listen to by everyone every morning in this crazy world just to knock down the cra cra just a tad. Beautiful guys thanks❤️🙏🏼
I listen to this every morning. 🌄 💛
You are so right☮️👍🏻❤️
Wow I was 14years old going to the beach listening to this song.
Simply put, the Rascals are one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. My personal favorite track is a cut off their brilliant second album (Collections) entitled "What is the Reason?" It is the perfect song. Nothing wasted. Just perfection.
Their in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and sure deserve it!!!!!
@@mamb70 For sure. The Rascals are so great. I would still like to see some other deserving '60s bands like Tommy James and the Shondells, Three Dog Night, Herman's Hermits, and the Monkees get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Alright guys, you have to hit my favorite, Good Lovin’
I love every song that they made. Hope you go through as many as you can. ✌People Gotta Be Free
PLEASE watch the video with them performing this back then. I listen to this EVERY morning. 🌄 "No sense in staying inside if the weather's fine and you've got the time." 💛
Oh that 60s classic Rock music. Those were the some really great times. The Rascals were one of the top Bands of that era.
Great selection! "People Gotta Be Free" is my favorite.
ya gotta hit some "Good Lovin"
Don't miss How Can I Be Sure..Powerful
The Rascals make every morning beautiful. So do Shawn and Mel!
You must hear A girl like you , that’s my favorite Rascal number but they have so many hits . Fun fact they were the first American band to refuse to play in front of a segregated audience . The Beatles were first . They also signed with a black owned record company Atlantic records who gave them full jurisdiction over the production of their records .
Very good song
An old favorite! But let me honestly say, this song reminds me of YOUR personality! It fits you perfectly.
Great songs and Felix Cavaliere had one of the most soulful voices ever. Dino Danelli, tha drummer, was very good.
Much appreciated! Felix Cavaliere is one of the greatest singers ever, hats off to the band members. Good Lovin' may be their biggest hit, soooo good. Eddy Brigatti is the other great singer there does How can I be Sure, very good song
They got inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and sure deserve it
Good enough for the Grateful Dead to cover..I saw them rock Good Lovin' for more than half an hour once...
When I go out on a perfect June morning, this song always pops in my head. It's a "glad to be alive" song.
The Rascals - Ain't Gonna Eat My Heart Out Anymore
It was their first hit single in 1966 if I remember correctly.
Love the way you guys react to.and analyze a song. Numerous hits by The Rascals. One of my favorites is 'How Can I Be Sure?' Please react to it if you haven't ready.
Top ten song of the sixties!
Great song and The Rascals were a great band with great music

Thanks guys I really appreciate this one. Beautiful 60's blue eyed soul.
Get yourself a cup of coffee, put the phone down, and crank up this tune. You'll never regret it, ever.
Loved your reaction. This song always got me smiling and dancing. A happy song like Groovin’
That song will lift your spirit any time of day.

There's a place that's called Heaven, filled with joy and peace! Lyrics from their song "Heaven". You two will love it!
There is a live version of them doing “I’ve been lonely too long “ on the Ed Sullivan show that is really good. Shawn, you would love the drummer. Please, I’m begging you to react to that.
Definitely Dino was on one the best he passed recently unfortunately sadly
Great band with other epic tunes like this one which will put anyone in a good mood after listening or singing along with this superb tunes!
WHAT A TIME MAN!!GOOD DOBBIE(WEED)BOONE FARMS WINE AND A NICE RIDE WITH A EIGHT TRACK___DON'T FORGET YOUR FAVORITE CHICK😁😁💹🕊🕊💕💕
Happy day! Thank you!
My older sister bought the 45 of this as soon it came out and played it constantly on her record player (yes, record player) and it became part of the soundtrack of my youth. To this day I sometimes think, "why are you just stayin inside." Go out and be part of the day. 🙂
This song is a feel good tune when taking a walk on a summer evening walk or in the morning
A few years ago when I thought I was terminal. This was the first song I wanted to hear. When you think your days are numbers something as simple as a beautiful morning is important. Fortunately I survived.
I almost always start singing this song when I go outside…..even getting into the car for an errand! It’s hardwired from childhood……lucky me! 😽💋🎶💕

This song makes me feel Claritin clear!
Clariton Clear? I'm dead! 🤣🤣🤣

Huge fan of theirs since the beginning. Heard them do Mickey's Monkey, incredible!!!!
Such positivity...we need more, Mel & Shawn!
This group was so awesome when they came out in the late 60's. I had just graduated from high school when they came out with their great hits!!!
This song is one of the most beautiful songs ever ❤️. For sure. When it comes to mornings 😊
More Rascals please, thank you,😎👍
Didn't we have it good... we had so much love for life and each other...
Yeah, Young Rascals are likely the best of our oldies to start the day!!!
Such a good song! Loved it in my college years. These guys were great!
Awesome group. My fav of theirs - "A Girl Like You"
I play this often on these gorgeous mornings, I played it this morning too
All of their music (lyrics) was so positive and beautiful, what we need right now !! ✌👍🐦🐤🦢🐇🌺
Lots of good recommendations for more Rascals here. I would add "Lonely Too Long", another big hit for them that is perhaps my favorite from this group.
The beautiful harmonies that fade in and out, and overlay throughout the song is magical.
Classic ❤ Always Love!!
The 60s were so chill, love your reactions! You will love the fifth dimension too from that era
Maybe the most underrated band ever
They wrote most of their songs and did the arranging production and recording. No studio guys except for extra instruments.
Now.... you need to hear the Rascals --- "People Got to Be Free"
I could never listen to this and be sad!😂 Traveling music 🎉
60s🎶🎸
TY Shawn and Mel I am so grateful you got back to The Rascals, they certainly put out so masterpieces that have lasted through time. For me when the were The Young Rascals or just The Rascals they made some music that to this day I still listen to. I would suggest the next one should be my all time favourite "How Can I Be Sure" and knowing your love I am positive you will love love love it.
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘🎶🎶🎶🎶💖💖💖💖
You two are right on. One thing about the Rascals is their songs were always positive and upbeat, which in the 60s wasn't all that common. Give us more!
Will do Perter. Thank you for watching.
I can't find a single reaction video on RUclips of "It's Wonderful", my favorite Rascals song.
Love all the Rascal songs.
"Timepeace" was the first greatest hits album I ever bought. I wore the grooves out of it on vinyl, bought a CD of it, and now it;s a playlist on my Iphone. Times change, but classics like this are forever. These guys were so talented and their sound was so enjoyable!
The radio DJs played the heck out of this song back in the 60s. We needed these uplifting messages. Because there was a LOT going on.
The days of Peace, Love, and music! Looking like everything's gonna be alright
Hey, I love you guys, and as always, I enjoy your reactions, the best on RUclips! I enjoy being a member of the S&M Squad. This is one of my favorite songs and I wanted to drop it off but other members of the squad beat me to it. I thoroughly enjoyed your reactions as always.
This song was written in Hawaii. They nailed the feeling of what it was like to be there!
Good song from the 60s of course they have several good ones
Great choice you two!
How Can I Be Sure is my Favorite
I loved this group. You must hear "People gotta be free".
You guys are fantastic! Love watching your reactions, especially the 60’s and 70’s! Thanks for making my mornings more beautiful here in the DMV
❤️💛🖤🤍
Our pleasure!
I love this song. Love to sing along. I love mornings.
Grab a cup of coffee and watch the Sun rise ... while this song plays in your buds ...
Do it.
❤❤❤❤
