The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

You know, you really had to be a kid growing up then to really appreciate how cool this song was.

[@teacup3133]

Man, it's still really cool. Great voices, great musicians

[@mistery-ed7900]

One of the greatest summer songs ever!!

[@lorriet2922]

I agree 100%!

[@jackieguccione94]

No question about it

[@tonisumblin2719]

YES!!

[@fifimylene8698]

Mon plus bel été ❤

[@fionanorris7761]

Totally agree, I just close my eyes and the years fall away.

[@TheCoreyLight]

That Blue-Eyed Soul sound always brings that peace to your heart!

[@luispadilla6070]

These guys in my opinion didn't get enough publicity. Great hits and where are these type of songs gone. Alot better than the crap of today. Luis

[@gerrydooley951]

c'mon , they were all over the radio, RRHOF, Broadway show

[@TomGargiuloArtandFilm-fu2hv]

I lived pretty close to the lead singer, Felix Cavalieri, in Pelham, NY. there was lots of buzz as the Rascals were beginning their journey and hadn't released anything. And then, it all happened pretty fast." I Ain't Go'in to Eat Out My Heart Anymore" and "Good Lovin" transformed them and everyone near them. As a kid I wondered what it would have been like to swap places with Felix or Eddie Brigatti. In the end, I'm glad I never did. Life has many surprises and instant success can have more pitfalls than a life built one step at a time. I'm thankful to have earned things slowly, using passion, hard work and intelligence.

[@mddell58]

~~~ I'm a 60ish year old woman, THIS is my favorite song by The Young Rascals. Such a better time in our 🌎 world. ❤

[@kennyc388]

Hell yes !

[@traceyballerini888]

This song was released when I was born. I am so very fortunate to be raised with this beautiful song. It's still one of favorite songs of all times. It's actually on my KZbin playlist.🤩🥰

[@jaime9130]

Blue eyed soul from New Jersey, fantastic musicians.

[@christopherdavison652]

Jersey baby!! The best.

[@andylawson87]

None of that lip-syncing stuff for these guys! This was a REAL band and they would do these TV shows and play live , not always the case back then. Best American band of the sixties and one of the greatest drummers ever in Dino Danelli! Rest in peace Dino. You are missed and respected.

[@troydaigle7902]

Great memories and music from a gone but GREAT ERA

[@jeffkatt]

Yessiree! Dino could work them drumsticks like no other! It was always a joy to see him in action! 🥁🎶🥁

[@boomerguy9935]

I saw them twice and they were better in person than on recordings or videos. Their personalities were genuinely nice and sincere. No superstars here, just wonderful and talented people. Rest in peace, Dino.

[@siriusfeline]

I noticed it as well...VERY rare to not have a band lip-synching on TV from this era.

[@georgestevens1502]

No horns on stage. He may have been singing along to the recording,. Not convinced this was live

[@kevinkilduff2064]

Tough song to do live but , man, they nail it. Great tune!

[@williammasi7128]

Felix had such smooth vocals.

[@markjulianoriginalhooli2217]

Damn I want to go home back to my music my people my time maybe that's what heaven will be

[@tonisumblin2719]

YES!!! Just thinking of it makes me cry.

[@Sincopare]

The quality of pop music in the 60s is unsurpassed

[@bernadetteh8470]

Great video! The Rascals are my all time favorite rock band. Still groovin’ with them after all these years ❤️❤️

[@hapkidtwo]

Keep grooving Sunny

[@ABdancers]

Great live version of this song by the Young Rascals. I love the shadows of the girls dancing in the background. It's so 1967. Awesome!

[@rosemaryspafalmouth2609]

The screams coming from the young people in the audience let’s you know how cool it was and remains to this day!,

[@user-tb5fq3qx9g]

There is a surprising amount of talent in this band :)

[@catherinecrow5662]

I watched this Live on Sullivan, watched his show every Sunday night. I was 15

[@BuffaloBeatle]

These guys were the real deal

[@legendarymcdinis3391]

Seldom if ever you will see 4 more multi talented singers/musicians/performers. Gene Cornish and Eddie Brigatti are both criminally underrated.

[@johnzabrenski6327]

As a teenager in the late 60s. you can't imagtine how great it was to wake up to songs like this. What do kids hear when the wake up now?

[@Imjustabotdewd]

There parents arguing🤣😂😂😂

[@hgodvilla00]

Rest in peace, Dino Danelli 🙏 😢

[@MostlyBrenda]

Brigati, Cornish, Danelli and Cavaliere are all still alive and have occasionally reunited. Almost all 60s groups have "replacement" members if they are still around at all.

[@NewFalconerRecords]

R.I.P. Dino Danelli. Passed away in December 2022.

[@lonestarfriend]

Groovy. 😎 And I like the shadow dancers in the background.

[@bennyadler5882]

Very underrated Gene Cornish leading the show from get go until Felix gets rolling. Magnificent.

[@jamescalifornia2964]

Apparently, he came up with much of the melodies in the songwriting 🎵

[@jjsudlow]

Wow! 56 years ago, a dynamite , organ powered performance, great vocals, standout drumming, the lyrics full of optimism. I heard on a transistor.

[@-AV8R-]

He's got some soul!

[@kevingoins9858]

One of three #1 Pop hits (Billboard) the Rascals earned. Gene Cornish raised in my hometown of Rochester NY.

[@57highland]

My hometown too. Regards from Chili NY!

[@ottomatic7823]

No auto-tune. Those were the days. I probably watched it in black & white.

[@waynesilva3129]

It takes me down memory lane as a young kid riding my bicycle in Orlando.

[@pattibrooks1907]

I was 11 when this song came out got their greatest hits album when I was 12 in 1968 !

[@desert.mantis]

Classic song! Marvelous performance! Thanks for the upload.

[@surfghoul]

The Rascals…first “band” I liked as a kid. Sullivan introduced a whole generation to music…

[@hanno-erdmanntietz8424]

A brilliant performance by The Young Rascals. On that show they also played 'A Girl Like You'.

[@jo-annkawakami3373]

Thank U for this live performance! Luv Felix w/ his soulful vibes, Eddie's & Gene's back up harmonies, Gene's harmonica, & Dino on congas. Magnificent group & timeless song. RIP to the gr8est drummer, Dino Danelli. Twirl them sticks in heaven Dinoooo!

[@stevecrow3075]

Good times along with good music.✌️

[@nobodyaskedbut]

Felix was one of the greatest all-around performers in rock history & the 4 of them one of the top 10 groups of all-time.

[@adriennerobinson1180]

The Rascals were one of the Ultimate Favorite Groups of the 60s. We will Neverget grlet a Group like them again. Love them..

[@notinmyUSMC]

Classic sixties songs and go-go girls!! Yeah, baby. Yeah!!

[@luispadilla6070]

Just the way music was intended. These guys were terrific. The music of today just can't compete with the music of yesteryear.

[@barbiebrowny7003]

The Rascal ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Exclusive the harmony blends in perfectly

[@RobertBrown-vf8yd]

What a wonderful tune by a great band!

[@shanenichols1052]

Among other things, what a great vocal band. They were so strong they could be a four piece with the luxury of having one guy on tambourine and vocals.

[@tj921able]

This was excellent. Thank you for sharing it. I enjoy how they performed.

[@monteyoung7126]

WOW are they young!! Love this group and Felix is a legend!!!

[@colinr8042]

like the background music even more in this live performance then on the original album, amazing!

[@mtp4430]

What a great feel and groove in a song so appropriately named "Groovin"

[@pablocaira8240]

Gran performance en vivo!

[@leonel1687]

Innocent at it's best! Wholesome 🎵🎶 music mellow music 🎵🎶 Outstanding!

[@lencampa9049]

[@jo-annkawakami3373]

Just saw Felix & Gene, & the Rascals 2nite @ the Blue Note in Honolulu. FANTASTIC SHOW!!! Felix sounded absolutely gr8. So much energy & still got that soulful vibe going on. What a fabulous nite to hear that voice of his & all those hits. Groovy!

[@VideoMusicManiacPlace]

Again thanks for another lost iconic memory of a time long gone. Here I sit "Groovin".

[@smileysmilefan7879]

Yes, I get to see the full thing!

[@Brenna944]

Mr. Dino Danelli was an excellent drummer and a very handsome man. I love him rest in paradise Mr. Danelli.

[@rodneybaker2643]

Wow and wonderful! This song still puts a shiver through my being-some 55 years after first hearing it! -it epitomises the promise of that era of music/life / awareness and loving energy!👌🙏🌼🕊💖

[@johngreen6783]

The Rascals were the best performances on the Ed Sullivan show, bar none

[@jacquelinerussell8530]

THE rascals were called "BLUE EYE SOUL back in the day" proving that comes in all colors 👍

[@TJPoppy]

🎼 Life will be ecstasy! You and me endlessly, groovin . . . . How sweet, that harmonica is magic ❤

[@jeannetteguerra3139]

Me encantó..Buenísimo. Gracias por compartir.

[@kdapson1452]

These dudes right here....all you can do is just shake your head in appreciation and say "Damn, these are some cold ass dudes right here".

[@raphaelsantiago3311]

My first girl friend, beer, joints what a time I was 15 going to a life time like no other thank you ❤️

[@Awaywrdson]

Great song !! Still to this day that Harmonica in the song just blows me away !! The way he plays it is exactly how a " Perfect" summer day feels like !! 🤘

[@user-rw4op8jw2x]

Great video. I love it and enjoyed.

[@dannyboyd9462]

The Rascals Were Soulful 2 The Core. Thanks 4 This Upload.

[@MrMicalo]

right in the middle of the summer of love

[@siriusfeline]

Some VERY rare footage of a band performing "live" from that era and NOT lip synching to the recorded version. Excellent!

[@rmurraypics]

Great tune of that era, my favorite.

[@niceguy5015]

I love this version of the song. The instrumentation is better than the recorded song and songs always sound at their best when Truly sung on the variety show stage. I love the dancing girls and their shadows in the background which capture the spirit of this song and the gorgeous style of this era , the best decade of music in human history. It would be interesting to see who those dancers were but It’s probably all lost info so a mystery. They also performed this song a 2nd time a few months later at the end of the summer in late September 67, and they used the same instrumentation but a different less interesting stage background and they only sang 1.45 worth and they didn’t sing it as good but ok enough. That 2nd performance is also here at this site. Hence this video of their first performance of Groovin’ is the best one out of the two.

[@kevingoins9858]

Dino Danelli (drummer/percussion) - RIP

[@johnhorton4089]

This song that voice brings back so many good memories. Thank you so much

[@dennismclaurin1487]

Listening on a Sunday afternoon

[@saul890]

Wow love this song as a little kid

[@TheHare-rv3hj]

Happy, positive, funcational music about good relationships. Unlike the monsterous, sick messages in music today.

[@cy3es1]

What a Voice.

[@zyxmyk]

what a great song.

[@57highland]

Gene: Greetings and Happy Holidays from your other hometown, Rochester NY!

[@jamieminsky9436]

And? I know them personally and just hometown guys and no bad ego. Beautiful souls: Eddie and David…. Sweet as sugar souls

[@DSRQ1]

It wasnt untill about 1983 while driving my girlfriend home and this song was on the radio and I was singing, "You and me and Leslie groovin'..." But who is Leslie?' i asked her. She said, "I think it's 'You and me endlessly groovin'.'" This kind of thing happens every time Im trying to act cool.

[@jamieba3971]

I used to think he said “Leslie” too!

[@susanlucas1125]

timeless

[@davidlemay4761]

Superb music video!😅

[@user-fc1gq5xd9e]

[@terereynolds698]

My brother taught himself how to play the drums, guitar, harmonica and the flute, then he started teaching kids how to play them as well, he also had a beautiful tenor voice.

[@maureengillies9495]

Love them 😂

[@papabear9608]

I was 5 years old .. I can still remember the music in the time . And on and on I grew up when music was the best to listen to .. but music now is quite definitely not the same

[@ericbush6124]

All Time great song takes me back to 67 68 69

[@user-gb6re9eg3i]

SOME MUSICIANS, AND A BEAUTIFUL, ICONIC, INCREDIBLE SONG!

[@valarienewsham785]

Dino Danelli was one amazing drummer.

[@esthergarcia1373]

I remember that performance by the Rascals. Love them ❤🙏

[@truthhurtswilky7785]

Felix still going strong today.

[@VirreFriberg]

The Rascals is one of few groups from the 1960s where all original members are still alive

[@Gypsy1194]

He's remarkable...love him.

[@hgodvilla00]

@VirreFriberg I am sad to write that we lost Dino Danelli a few months ago. 😢 rest in peace

[@jons.6216]

The dancing silhouettes in the background remind me of that Lost in Space episode "The Promised Planet" where Will, Penny and Doctor Smith stay with the perpetual youth on the groovy planet! Haha! Since this aired in 1967 and that episode came in 1968 I wonder if there was any visual influence going on?

[@waldolydecker8118]

Nope, no influence. Influencing was something that did not compute with the robot and would probably had been a danger to Will Robinson.

[@stevehobbs8130]

RIP Dino Danelli
