WHO'S THE DRUMMER?!!! THE YOUNG RASCALS - GOOD LOVIN (ON THE ED SULLIVAL SHOW) REACTION

[@bretkindell6887]

Rip dino!! One of the most unique styles in rock history still today..sleep well dino

[@lisarainbow9703]

Notice there's no bass player? It's Felix playing the bass pedals WITH HIS FEET on the Hammond organ, while playing the keys with his hands, AND singing his heart out!! What a fantastic band they were!!

[@nkcbrazil]

Yeah they were amazing and never got more of the accolades they deserved

[@moonrich3492]

I believe in a discussion with Liberty DeVitto (Billy Joel's drummer) Dino Danelli said he covered bass notes, too.

[@chrisinfiesto835]

Dino Danelli was straight up BEAST behind that drum kit! RIP 😔🙏🏼💯

[@kickaxe6577]

R.I.P. Dino Danelli. He has been called "one of the great unappreciated rock drummers in history". He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 with the Rascals.

[@MikeCoggan]

Dino Danelli - he just passed away in December

[@bradsense7431]

Oh I did not know he just passed. So sad watching all these greats passing. I still see them in my mind as so youthful and making the music soundtrack of my growing up.

[@stevejiminez7791]

Dino Danelli on drums one the most underrated drummers of all time

[@stephanieo2509]

Dino Danelli, one of the most underrated drummers of the '60's.

[@epicycles700]

The lead singer, Felix Cavaliere, was playing organ in another group that was touring Europe in 1963. There was this other band on the bill that Felix had never heard of before --- The Beatles! When Felix got back to the States, he put this group together. The ultimate, good-time, feel-good ,blue-eyed soul. They just had a marvelous string of beautiful songs throughout the Sixties.

[@karenpatterson8574]

I never realized how fortunate I was to be born in 1961. The best music 60’s 70’s

[@jvsmith7888]

This is a song that ALWAYS makes you feel better. It is impossible to feel down once you start listening to this song.

[@zunbake3]

Dino Danelli was the Drummer. He passed away last year. Now it is time for you to check out The Young Rascals' cover of Stevie Wonder's A Place In The Sun!!

[@Madminute1968]

The late Dino Danelli was an accomplished Jazz trained drummer, the late great Lionel Hampton appreciated Dino's style of drumming.

[@jjo154]

Dino was one of the inspirations for me to take up drums. RIP

[@helgar791]

I had the pleasure of seeing these guys twice before 1970. The greatest blue eyed soul band of all time. "Lonely Too Long" please.

[@christarpley6861]

I like that song too

[@brewstergallery]

That machine gunner on the drums is the one and only DINO DANELLI. Snapping those sticks like switchblades and dancing while sitting down. He just passed away a few months ago. These guys were one of the young bands who were allowed to play live on TV because they were slick as hell.

[@joycewalbert1413]

I was so in love with him!

[@thomastimlin1724]

Totally agree...

[@54nomore]

"I was feeling so bad. I asked my Family Doctor just what I had. I said Doctor, Doctor Mr. MD. A can you tell me. What's ailing me. And he said All I really need is Good Lovin." "Good Lovin" was a number one hit back in (1966) for The Young Rascals. These lyrics went over my head when I was a 12-year-old boy back in 1966 when this song came out. We were just grooving to the music not realizing the lyrics and their meaning. Today as a 69-year-old proud senior citizen. My good doctor prescribed my wife for me, and it was the best medicine I have ever had. I have been addicted to her for 45 years. The Doctor was right...All I needed was Good Lovin. Awesome response and reaction and upload to one of the greatest groups of the 60's.

[@sammybeck7794]

Felix Cavaliere is still alive, 80 yrs and still singing and playing keyboards. He was in my hometown of Austin Texas a few of months ago with the remaining members of the band and they played The Rascals old hits

[@randsimon1313]

This performance of "Good Lovin'" is in the running for the greatest performance ever by a rock band on the Ed Sullivan show, and he had ALL the names! Relentless energy, awesome vocals, and drummer Dino Dinelli is just a pleasure to watch and worth the price of admission on his own! Lennon and McCartney had nothing vocally on Felix and Eddie, but both groups had a distinct advantage over most by having two lead singers!

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

Mel, you're asking about maracas that the "tambourine man" was playing.

[@csedrivers2850]

That drummers a trip, the way he moves. 🙃

[@renee8437]

Love these guys. One of the best groups of the 60s and one of the most underrated in my opinion. Absolute Legends.

[@Brenna944]

The drummer was the late Dino Danelli who was Jazz trained, the late Lionel Hampton appreciated his drumming and style.

[@joelliebler5690]

Legendary tune from a fantastic band!❤❤

[@alwag89]

This old music will make your life’s together last a life time keep listening keep experiencing it thru the magic of music

[@flash1660]

Truly a GREAT BAND !

[@waltw4537]

The Young Rascals. The Association. You guys are cookin'! Great reaction!! Thanks.

[@suzylund7859]

Great song, great performance!!! Love the Young Rascals

[@singluna888]

Awesome performance! I actually remember seeing this episode.

[@827dusty]

That 60s "Classic Rock." It doesn't get any better than this.

[@daddyguerrero]

Finally!!! Possibly my favorite Rascals song. It’s such a soulful groove.

[@rgracia633]

One of the greatest and most under appreciated bands of all time. Love them

[@garytom1935]

I remember hearing the song on the radio and TV when I little 👌😎👍🎸🥁🎤

[@RGF19651]

This song and live performance on the Ed Sullivan show was early in the band’s career when they were called “the Young Rascals”. If you look at their “costumes” they are dressed like little kids, schoolboys, from the 1920’s or 30’s with knickers, round collar shirts, thin ties, newsboy cap on Felix, etc. This was meant to resemble the movie icons, “the Little Rascals” (later Our Gang) from the 20’s and 30’s. Later the group became just “the Rascals”, and dropped the schoolboy image, 😅

[@2Cambourne]

What he has in his right-hand Mel is two Maracas. The Young Rascal were known as "Blue Eye Soul." Just like the "Four Season," the "Righteous Brothers," "Rare Earth." and "Three Dog Night." Great reaction to one of the classic songs of the 60's. The Drummer Dino Daneli played another percussion instrument known as a "Conga Drum" for their biggest hit "Groovin (1967).

[@dongeiser7520]

Of all the reactors you guys are the best. Such great selections the Rascals and the Association and soooo many other “oldies”. The soundtrack of my and many other teenage years. Another rabbit hole you might explore is Blood Sweat and Tears so many great tracks. Also a 1 hit wonder group the Soul Survivors “Expressway to Your Heart” will have you dancing in your seats. Thanks,keep up the Great work! Yea Rascal’s Lonely Too Long another great song, please…

[@bloppysloppy2283]

Yes! Blood Sweat and Tears is another rabbit hole worth exploring.

[@tomlew55]

Sadly, the drummer Dino Danelli passed away last December. My favorite band while I was in high school in the late 60's. I saw Felix a couple of years ago and he still has it.

[@skydogfan4671]

Absolutely loved your reaction to this song from a great group from the 1960s. The drummer is Dino Danelli. He’s my favorite drummer along with Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham. Dino was one of the best drummers of the sixties. He’s top tier. I recommend reacting to them (Young Rascals) performing live on the Ed Sullivan the song Too Long. It show cases Dino. You too

[@ajruther67]

Happy Wednesday Shawn and Mel! So glad you have been going down the Rascals rabbit hole!

[@MisterWondrous]

Great song, greater performance, and great reaction! All their hits are such magic. Allman Brothers does a similar song called "Revival". Same rhythm but with a Southern accent.

[@francesmarinapatarangawhik4702]

I had to dance to this, the band was going for it, loved the drummer...you two are exciting to watch...PEACE👍☝️✨🤓

[@kathyrizzi8754]

I remember watching this band on The Ed Sullivan Show! “ Darn, where did the time go? 👏👏👏💙💖xoxoxo

[@jannaromine5908]

So many happy songs back then🤗

[@johnfrank3177]

Hey Shawn and Mel. The Rascals were a great band with many hits. Saw them live and was blown away. By the way, the drummer is Dino Danelli and back in the day everyone loved his style and attitude. Check out the studio version of "A Girl Like You". I think you'll enjoy it. Peace.

[@brianherrington7226]

I think they did A Girl Like You a week or two ago. Dino was so underrated it’s criminal. Love Is A Beautiful Thing is another Dino shines on.

[@johnfrank3177]

@@brianherrington7226 Hey Brian. Thanks for letting know . Yeah, Love is a beautiful thing is another good one. I always liked “It’s Love “ with Hubert Laws on flute, but that’s a bit obscure.

[@gillian5005]

Great comments, thanks guys. I love it when drummers twirl the drum sticks. It's brilliant!!! I don't know how they do it, especially during really fast songs. The drummer from Sweet comes to mind also, and of course there are others too. So talented. ❤

[@oldermusiclover]

that was Dino sadly he has passes away

[@pmccachren]

Yes this song will make you turn up the volume, rock your socks off and hit replay.

[@niccoarcadia4179]

Dino Dinelli was perfect for the era. The mid sixties drum kits became very important in R & R music and he is one of the obvious reasons why. Drums supply the beat and the excitement.

[@ptournas]

Great song and I loved your reaction!

[@anthonyblakely399]

We all need "Good Lovin'" in order to make it in this world. Especially the times we are living in....we need a whole lot of "Good Lovin'" to make it lol hahaha wow. Great Reaction 👍

[@marthayoung2308]

Always loved this one! Flippin' BANGER! 60's music is so worth diving into! Thank you so much, Shawn and beautiful Mel!❤

[@fmtalks1386]

Dino Dinelli passed in December. A phenomenal drummer!

[@ajruther67]

The singer is shaking maracas. It's a Spanish instrument.

[@maekae911]

I ❤️ me some Dino Danelli. He is one of the most highly underrated Drummers. He studied and followed most of the Great Jazz Drummers of the Big Band era and follow mostly R&B music. As a matter of fact,he said in an interview that he went to a Record Store in Harlem, NY and found the original recording of “Good Lovin by a Black group, called The Olympics.

[@dennisgarcia3901]

This was my favorite group in middle school to high school. They are the only reactors that covered all those the big hits of the (Young)Rascals. They drop the young after the second album before Groovin’ and I thank you.

[@beeseewill2407]

This band is so good.Their music is infectious. If they didn't get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I would have protested.

[@CarolynStewart-v5q]

OMG, this song is from the sound track of my youth in Passaic, NJ! Good Lovin' by the Young Rascals was so awesome. It's soul and kind of punk infused. Mr. Tambourine man has maracas in his other hand! This is so great seeing The Rascals play live. Shawn, I've been on every interstate on your shirt. Love from Baltimore!

[@ritap6620]

You two are so cute together, I love watching your reactions.

[@nealtoglia4356]

Another great group from New Jersey ! Lodi and Garfield. One of my favorites to this day.

[@CarolynStewart-v5q]

Right down the street from Passaic, NJ where I listened to the Rascals on WABC radio with Cousin Brucie!

[@ajruther67]

Another band you would love is Lovin' Spoonful. Songs: Do You Believe in Magic, You Didn't Have to be so Nice, Summer in the City.

[@brianherrington7226]

Darling Be Home Soon.

[@wild62meg47]

OMG, Shawn! New shirt? Testify for our home time. I know the exits, Dude. Love to Mel. I'd love to hear you sing.

[@FUBAR1986]

Truth and love, yes ma’am 8:00 🎉😂❤

[@johneldridge8678]

Wow!!! Mel has a really good voice!!! Anyway, those guys rocked the crap out of that song. My goodness. What a performance, from every one of those guys. Lotsa energy and soul.

[@BDM55]

One of the best drummers Dino Danelli and one of the best Lead Singers and keyboardist - Felix Cavaliere

[@moonrich3492]

Eddie Brigati on the tambourine sang How Can I Be Sure. Fantastic vocal.

[@subwaygoddess1]

OMG, I love you guys! Mel, all Shawn needs is your good lovin! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@StevenW1958]

In addition to the late great drummer, Dino Danelli, you have Eddie Brigati on the tambourine AND the MARACAS.

[@marleebryant6815]

You guys are so great!! Thanks for what you do!!

[@brianherrington7226]

I’ve Been Lonely Too Long and Love Is A Beautiful Thing.

[@ajruther67]

I'm glad you watched it twice. You see things you might have missed the first time.

[@floridahiker1503]

You've got to be happy after seeing this. Lonely Too Long is a slower soulful song that highlights the lead singers voice. I hope you react to it.

[@marrkhicks]

Top ten drummer

[@jeanineheath2395]

Awww! I love it! You two are too freakin cute! Marroccas! So much love here! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ShawnandMel4Life]

Thank you so much!!

I am proud to be locked in with you guys. ❤

Mel it always shows that Sean has been giving good good loving from you.

[@arlenelippiello3292]

Brings me back to my youth love them❤️🙏😊

[@jo-annkawakami3373]

The Rascals' live performances were always amazing & set the bar high! One female fan made a gr8 comment about Dino's drumming...like bringing a knife to a M-16 fight (paraphrasing). Gr8est comment ever about Dino's amazing talent. RIP, Sweet Dinoooo!

[@Markrealguy51]

Love seeing u2 that into it

[@donaldleider7382]

Every kid in my elementary school wanted to play drums after seeing Dino Danelli on the Ed Sullivan show!

[@tomtortolani8082]

Yeh, we told ya!... Other great tunes "Lonely Too Long", "Somebody to Love"

[@skiptrace1888]

Sorry to hear about Dino's death. I am a drummer & I copied many of his riffs & stuf, especially his energy, in my own style. I was also from East Tennessee, where Dino got his start. The Rascals were in my top 5 groups back in the day. And you guys are so much fun! Thank you so nuch!

[@kimmaedke2763]

I’m going to have to watch you two again react to this song. This was so fun an so joyful! You made my evening!

[@stevenmurano7863]

Great band, great music. LIVE music. the ed sullivan show gave us SO much great music. Even as a little kid i looked forward to sunday nights. Ed did not allow lip-synching. Sometimes the music was pre recorded but usually not. That is the late great Dino Danelli on drums. He does not get enough credit, but he was badass. Sadly he passed a few months ago. Great fun to watch. Another gread drummer to watch is Carmine Appice. There’s a great live video (i think it is also from the sullivan show) of his band Vanilla Fudge covering the supremes classic ‘set me free’. Carmine is a Beast! Check it out. Anyway…great reaction again! You guys are the best

[@stevenmurano7863]

Sorry dont know what i was thinking. The song is ‘you keep me hangin on’.Tooearly! 😁

[@maverick2242]

Machine gun Dino, this is how you play to a crowd, all of em, smashed it bro…

[@Janadu]

The drummer was the late, great Dino Dinelli. Passed away not too long ago. THE best.

[@ajruther67]

This song was used in Dr. Pepper commercials in the 80's!

[@donsalzer8916]

My favourite song of all-time

[@christarpley6861]

Man I miss this kind of music

[@horacerobinson7149]

These guys were something special. R.I.P Mr Ed Sullivan.

[@klr4729]

Was hoping someone got to this one! Just a strong well done dance tune! Nothing but the 60's

[@josephrocco5684]

Wow this reaction made my day.... 😊😊😊

[@lindaaumiller7592]

the swinging medalions --- double shot

[@dianetaylor841]

This song was hugely popular in the mid-late 60's. It is also in the snowmobile scene in the movie Grumpy Old Men...THAT is a movie you 2 should react to!!

[@Madminute1968]

The drummer was the late Dino Danelli, he was a Jazz trained drummer, the late great Lionel Hampton enjoyed Danelli's style.

[@susanlundquest3968]

Our baby boomers generation had the best music ever, grew up listening to it. My generation was all about making love, not war.

[@satanlaffing]

Years ago DR. PEPPER used this song in commercials.

[@MelindadelosSantos]

You guys are cute and funny with your good lovin'. (That is one bold drummer. You don't get double-takes there.)😄

[@KennyY-bh3zl]

Shawn, you're embarrassing Mel! The Rascal's drummer is the legendary, yet sadly late, Dino Danelli, whom several of his peers have named as their inspiration to take up the drums. A drummer doesn't need a huge drum kit if he can play like Dino. So glad you enjoyed this great performance.

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

These guys were amazing when they came out in the 60's. ❤❤❤

[@kathyrizzi8754]

You can’t go wrong choosing any songs from these wonderful guys, I love them still today. Thank you, Sweeties! 👍💙💖👏👏👏

[@paulr.3220]

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

SEE WOODSTOCK, SANTANA'S PERFORMANCE "SOUL SACRIFICE" ABSOLUTELY FIRE!!🎸🎸🎷🎤

[@jettrink7510]

The Young Rascals are in the building...

[@wild62meg47]

A total feel-good song. You can't listen to this song and not get a rush.
