Young Rascals... GOOD LOVIN' (Live Studio)

1966

[@drumsport]

Dino was one of the coolest cats ever. Never saw him live with The Rascals, but they were generously billed as the hottest live act in the business during the '60's. Did see Dino up close when he killed the kit behind a short-lived, but terrific band called "Fotomaker". Dino walked into the club in a long cashmere coat, red scarf, and fedora and absolutely blew everyone away. His drumming was still crisp, and his showmanship was as great as ever with his stick twirling and cymbal crash sequences. One of the greatest of all time!

[@billkazen4683]

BIG influence on my playing since their launch. I was one of the last guys in CLE to come up on B-3...I made sure every band I've been in since then did a few Rascals tunes...deep grooves for sure...

[@jbfonfrias9133]

The Young Rascals were one of my favorite groups during the 60's . Their sound was exciting & inspiring !

[@ralphbenites1819]

Great drummer you rock Dino 🥁👍

[@bbobrm]

This was a monster hit ...... and still stands the test of time !

[@sheilamacdougal9948]

The lead singer Felix Cavaliere was a remarkable soul singer, and the band was amazingly tight. It's a pity that they didn't last beyond a few years of hit making.

[@jo-annkawakami3373]

U r sooo right about soul man, Felix C. What a gift!

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Very few artists ever have a hit, let alone 6 or 7! The Rascals had well above average success, both commercially and artistically.

[@lindabergman3127]

They definitely had it going on 💖😁🌟

[@TheMisterGriswold]

Yeah but it's a nice bunch of great songs.

[@danielmarin6811]

Dino Danelli IS the most underrated drummer. He’s tops!

[@georgeplagianos6487]

Very handsome too

[@boomerguy9935]

I've seen him play three times since 1965 and this video does not do him justice. He actually twirls his stick between snare drum beats and also throws his right stick into the air during the pause - then catches it and finishes the song without missing a beat. He was a true showman. Like the rest of us, he can't do the physical shows now but he is still an excellent drummer.

[@eyefulpower]

Between Dino and Ringo, my clarinet days were over. It was drums for me. I could imitate Ringo but not Dino. He was beyond imitation.

[@spoonerfive]

What an energetic, driving, masterful performance of a GREAT song! I can see how some people thought this was the devil's music, because this song really reaches down and MAKES you move! I was in 8th grade when this came out, and this was the song that made the jackets come off at the school dances.

[@joecaroselli5858]

Dino was a great showman, but he could back it up by tremendous technique and solid groove. He was a sensation in the 1960's and early 70's.

[@johnneslusan9424]

when you see Felix play his left hand , right hand , his feet and sing, talk about extreme coordination, WOW.

[@Philmarusa]

When I was active I use to play Bass left hand and right hand chords and no bass player. We just learn to auto magically adapt. I was a lead singer also. It just comes with playing all the time. What ever it takes to make a few bucks. Fewer musicians and more money for the rest of us. I was a bass player when I started touring until the band found out I played keys. I should have asked for money! I played Bass pedals when I grew up with a C3 in my home. Felix was a monster too. My favorite Hammond player was Jimmy Smith. He could really play those pedals!!!!!!

[@erlowther]

John Neslusan sure doesn’t sound like a left hand or kick bass happening in this live version. Maybe actual bass player guitarist off camera.

[@bholaoates1542]

@@erlowther I think the vocals are mostly or totally live. Instruments are not. Look closely at Dino's drums and cymbals and you'll notice he's not really hitting them. Guitar isn't even plugged into anything. The set is cleverly made to look like a "live" recording session.

[@sidgriffin813]

Dino Danelli on drums was so terrific. I saw him about 1982 in Little Steven's Disciples of Soul band and he was still kickin' the big beat along then too. Felix Cavaliere was covering so many bases on the Hammond B3...just an incredible act and they had the very first Platinum album with their Time-Peace hits collection (true!) in 1968 or so. Check out Come On Up, another fine tune which rocks or Find Somebody, a psychedelic number of theirs from 1967. I tip my cap to these gentlemen.

[@richardthompson3104]

Agreed. Dino horribly underrated. Never see him on anyone's list.

[@azcrim]

My big brother, who turns 71 this year is a dang good drummer, and a bit arrogant about, as most are. He always told me that Danelli was one drummer he always thought was better than him!

[@mr.kite0535]

We worked with them before Atlantic Records signed them, they went on first and this is what they sounded like, although this song was not written yet, it was written by Artie Resnick for them. They were a great live club band, with that L.I. sound.

[@chrissygerwitz520]

The song was NOT written for them; in fact, the song had several versions released before the Young Rascals recorded it. From Wikipedia: "Rascal Felix Cavaliere heard The Olympics' recording on a New York City radio station and the group added it to their concert repertoire, using the same lyrics and virtually the same arrangement as The Olympics' version."

[@GalileoSmith]

This video obviously features a pre-recorded instrumental part but with live vocals. Anyway, I feel compelled at this moment to relive a bit of my youth... I became a Young Rascals fan with Good Lovin'. I was a high school sophomore in Columbus, Ohio at the time. I bought the album and liked every bit of it. I thought it included a great version of Midnight Hour. Blue-eyed soul at its finest. Then about a year later came the album Groovin'. Great stuff, all of it. For the next few years I stayed hook on the Rascals through the good tunes, and a few of the more mediocre ones. In January of 1970 the Rascals were schedule to play Columbus for what I believe was the first and perhaps only time. I had to be there. I asked an old girlfriend if she would like go and with a bit of contempt in her voice, she said no. I ended up asking a girlfriend of my sister. We were about 3/4 of the way back, on the left side of Veteran's Memorial Auditorium. The warm-up band was the Chocolate Watch Band. I dated the girl for about a year. It was a long time ago.

[@jsgreen1000]

There is nothing pre-recorded on this.

[@GalileoSmith]

+jsgreen Really? Well if you can find a wire connected to Gene Cornish's electric guitar, then you might have a case.

[@jsgreen1000]

You're right. My bag. I never got to see them, although they were one of the great live bands. I don't think they toured as much as most big hitmakers.

[@GalileoSmith]

+jsgreen The most amazing thing about your last comment was that you admitted you were in error. I think there are about two or three people on the entire internet who will admit to an online error when they make one. So I give you a big thumbs up for that. As for the Rascals, the instrumental portion of the song on the video sounds _exactly_ like the album version which I have heard perhaps a thousands of times over the last 50+ years. The vocals sound different and it looks pretty obvious that they are live. Felix Cavaliere does a solid job and he is still active today. A few years ago he did a live, solo version of another one of the Rascal hits Lonely Too Long which sounds great, at least to my ears. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y32unqeafrR8jZY

[@lastrada52]

Drummers who are educated and informed know who Dino Danelli is. He's not under-rated -- he's just not recognized by average people who buy music. It may be because he was always a bit low profile. Dino, from Jersey City, NJ played with Lionel Hampton earlier in his career and was one of the few rock drummers who were actually jazz trained. Dino still plays to this day as far as I know. Dino played with Little Steven (of Bruce Springsteen fame) in his band The Disciples of Soul. He also played with lead guitarist Leslie West of Mountain. However, it is my belief that his lack of acknowledgment as a drummer is not having joined a high profile band after The Rascals. Had he done that his name would've continued to be out there as it was in the '60s. I'm a former drummer and I always thought Danelli as one hell of an excellent drummer. Always was. If you think he couldn't have taken Keith Moon's spot in The Who you'd be wrong.

[@BarbaraJean1]

[@larryh.3173]

Thanks for this great video upload! What a GREAT band. I followed them from the day they hit "the scene", grew up on Long Island, too, playing in cover bands including several Rascals numbers. Believe me when I tell you that there were a LOT of bands mining this same soulful musical direction back then (although also then possibly being highly influenced by the Young Rascals)... the Hassles, Vagrants, the Illusion....

Great song and this is cool. Started off as usual for the period. A lot of times in those days, the drummer could even be playing a solo (yes, not in this song), or some great fill, and the damn camera would be on the guitarist just standing there. It’s amazing how little the videographers in the old videos understood about drumming. Or, maybe it was just that they thought no one wanted to watch the drummer (whereas, that’s what I personally mainly want to watch, except for a solo by another musician or the singer). He started to show him a bit, towards the end. I’ve never really understood that, but look at a lot of old videos for confirmation.
