So glad you guys finally dived into the Young Rascals! "A Beautiful Morning" , "Good Lovin", " I've Been Lonely Too Long" , "How Can I Be Sure" and "People Got To Be Free" are some of their really good songs.

[@SK-lk3iu]

All great, and "Good Lovin" is more of a rocker than their others.

[@bgallagher8129]

They started out as the Young Rascals and even wore attire that looked like the original Little Rascals, but they dropped the outfits and the name Young and just became known as the Rascals. Might have been due to trademark concerns.

[@epicycles700]

Felix Cavaliere, the songwriter and usually lead singer of this group, had toured in Europe in 1963 as the organ player for another group and guess who else was on the bill? The Beatles! Felix took one look at that and headed back to the States and put this band together. Lots of great songs in the mid-to-late Sixties: "I've Been Lonely Too Long," "A Girl Like You," and "People Got To Be Free," among others.

Many radio stations in the way back would start your day with their "It's a Beautiful Morning."

[@colibri1]

One of the iconic songs of the sixties was the Rascal's "People Got to Be Free" from 1968. 1967's "How Can I Be Sure?" was also a big hit for them. A big hit song with kind of a similar message and feel as this one was Simon and Garfunkel's "Feelin' Groovy" from 1967, and another sixties song with the word groovy in it is the Mamas and the Papas' "Somebody Groovy" from 1965.

[@bobbyd968]

The Harper's Bizarre version of Feelin Groovy was better in my opinion since it became a hit and was longer than the Simon and Garfunkel version. Of course kudos to Simon and Garfunkel for writing such a great song.

Thanks for the reaction. The Rascals were some of the dukes of 60’s “blue-eyed soul”. They were first The Young Rascals, and then they dropped the “Young”, and just were “The Rascals”. And as so many have commented, they have so many gems in their catalog. Enjoy!

One of my favorite Rascals songs of all time (BTW, by the time Groovin' came out, the band had dropped the "young" from their name and became simply The Rascals) is "How Can I Be Sure?", as well as their biggest overall hit, "Good Lovin'".

[@robertlanciani7458]

Yes, that's Gene Cornish on the harmonica. This song came out in the Spring of '67. Graduated high school and entered college that year. Whenever I hear it I think of those carefree days. Did lots of groovin.......not just on Sundays.

[@rubroken]

"It's a beautiful morning", great song, great Sunday morning drive song

[@dennissmith9259]

When I hear "A Beautiful Morning " I'm transported to my mom's kitchen. NYC, mid-summer 1968. She had a small table radio there and that song was in heavy rotation. We didn't have A/C, the windows are open and the air was warm with it's own early morning smell. It was going to be a hot day, I was on vacation from school, and the day held many possibilities.

[@827dusty]

What a great "Classic Rock" song from the 60s. These guys (Felix Cavaleri) had so much soul in their music.

Rascals are a forever group...Once you've heard them, you never forget!

[@d.j.starling3559]

The Young Rascals (later, The Rascals) was one of the great groups of the 60s. How Can I Be Sure is their most beautiful song. When their first hit, Good Lovin', was released in early 1966, I was in 6th grade & the group has been well-played on the soundtrack of my life. Another great song, People Got To Be Free, was The Rascals' entry on the long list of protest songs of the late 60s. Great group to hear again. And again.

[@thepunadude]

The Band was first called the Young Rascals, then they dropped the Young and just called themselves the Rascals. that IS a harmonica.

Did you notice it is not the original? There were no birds in the original, and there is a spot where they are singing acapella. That never happened in the original song. Somebody made their own remix.

[@commentatron]

My feelings for this song are colored by two things: 1) hearing it when it came out in 1967 as a child of 8, with the extra magic that comes from hearing with a child's ears, and 2) hearing it in the musical and social context of the times.

[@deonneparrish9850]

Just found out a fun fact The Beatles opened for the Rascals when the Beatles were starting out in Germany. "Beautiful Morning", "People Got To Be Free", and "Good Loving" are favorites of mine.

[@cathyortiz1280]

Always loved this song! Great to start off a weekend. BTW, that whole album is GREAT! Actually very soulful group. "I've Been Lonely too Long," & "Good Lovin'" are other great hits. They had quite a few hits.

[@larryg7126]

I'm from the NYC/NJ area and the Rascals came up in the clubs and were a highly polished act by the time they started recording and only got better. "Good Lovin'" is a hard edged rock feel, "A Beautiful Morning" is closer to Groovin'. You called it with the soulful feeling. They also were concerned with events in the news with "People Got To Be Free". Their last two albums "Peaceful World" & "The Island Of Real" are actually very soulful/funky/jazz fusion, I don't think they sold as well because their audience was more rock oriented but I really like these albums. Their earlier albums though did have the strongest material.

[@idanwillenchik3050]

This song was the Rascals' second US # 1 hit out of a total of three. Groovin' spent four nonconsecutive weeks at # 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (two weeks beginning May 20th 1967 and two weeks beginning June 17th 1967).

[@marybaillie8907]

[@StevenW1958]

Groovin" is a single released in 1967 by American rock band the Young Rascals that became a number-one hit and one of the group's signature songs. It has been covered by many artists, including the Young Rascals themselves in other languages. A slightly different version was later released on their third studio album, Groovin'. Written by group members Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati and with a lead vocal from Cavaliere, it is a slow, relaxed groove, based on Cavaliere's newfound interest in Afro-Cuban music. The instrumentation of the song includes a conga, a Cuban-influenced bass guitar line from session musician Chuck Rainey, and a harmonica part, performed first for the single version by New York session musician Michael Weinstein, and later for the album version by Gene Cornish. "Groovin" was inspired by Cavaliere's then-girlfriend, Adrienne Buccheri. He said of her, "I believe she was divinely sent for the purpose of inspiring my creativity."[2] Lyrically, "Groovin'" is the evocation of a person in love: Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly ... Groovin' ... on a Sunday afternoon Really couldn't get away too soon - Cavaliere wrote the music for the song, and he and Eddie Brigati collaborated on the lyrics. The basic track was recorded by Cavaliere on vocals and piano, with Dino Danelli playing conga and woodblock and Gene Cornish on tambourine. Background vocals by Eddie and David Brigati were added later. Bass was added by Chuck Rainey, and occasional session musician Michael Weinstein provided the harmonica. The production was supervised by Arif Mardin. The song is fairly different from the Rascals' white soul origins, enough so that Atlantic Records head Jerry Wexler did not want to release the single. Cavaliere credits disc jockey Murray the K with intervening to encourage Atlantic to release the song: "To tell you the truth, they didn't originally like the record because it had no drum on it...We had just cut it, and [Murray the K] came in the studio to say hello. After he heard the song, he said, 'Man, this is a smash.' So, when he later heard that Atlantic didn't want to put it out, he went to see Jerry Wexler and said, 'Are you crazy? This is a friggin' No. 1 record.' He was right, because it eventually became No. 1 for four straight weeks." The single became an instant hit in May 1967, spending four nonconsecutive weeks atop the Billboard pop singles chart. The weeks were interrupted by Aretha Franklin's cover of "Respect", which spent two weeks at No. 1 in the middle of "Groovin'"'s run. Interestingly, Franklin would later cover "Groovin'" for her album Lady Soul. The song also reached No. 3 on the Billboard Black Songs chart. “Groovin'" was the only hit the group ever had in the United Kingdom, reaching No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart. After the fourth week, "Groovin'" dropped from the charts; Casey Kasem remarked on it in his radio show American Top 40 five years later. The song was an RIAA-certified gold record on June 13, 1967. Due to its massive popularity, the track was included on the Young Rascals' late July 1967 album of the same name, albeit with an alternate harmonica solo by Cornish on the stereo version. The Rascals performing "Groovin'" during their 2013 Once Upon a Dream show, with a peaceful park scene showing on the video screen behind them. Gene Cornish plays the well-known harmonica part. "Groovin'" is one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll, and is also the recipient of a Grammy Hall of Fame Award. The phrase "you and me endlessly" was often misheard as the mondegreen "you and me and Leslie".

One of the best American Groups of the 60's. Rascals had "blue eyed soul". Meaningful songs: People Got To Be Free came out Summer '68 as Russian tanks were used to repress hope of freedom in Czechoslovakia. Groovin', such a mellow, peaceful, feel good song that could be so enjoyed when Sundays were still a relaxful day for just about everyone. How Can I Be Sure, is still very relevant today to any relationship. A Beautiful Morning, is such an inspiring, feel good song to start the day off with.

I can’t believe you can’t come up with more 60’s groups ! The 60’s had some of the best R+B music ! The 4 Tops , Temptations, Diana Ross and the Supremes,Smokey Robinson , Archie Bell and the Drell’s, The Dells , Isaac Hays , Martha and the Vandellas,Sam and Dave,The Spinners , the Shirelles , Sly and the Family Stone

The Rascal did some great songs. They should do a Jersey Boys 2 about this and Strongly Suggest "Good Lovin'" "Beautiful Mornin'" As far as more Blue-Eyed Soul music from the 60's, you should try another Jersey band The Soul Survivors and "Expressway to Your Heart".

My favorite song from these guys is "A Girl Like You" - great!
