The day of my discharge from the Marine’s in the summer of 1969 Norfolk VA, I began my drive home to Massachusetts in my 1964 Chevy Super Sport. When I turned on the radio Beautiful Morning was the first song I heard and after surviving Viet Nam it was a beautiful morning that day.
I am a 69 year old musician and, honestly, I'm not surprised. He has had healthy habits and hasn't done anything to degrade his voice. My voice at 69 is richer and more nuanced than it was 30 or 50 years ago. And I have greater control. He's a pro and hasn't allowed drugs, booze or cigarettes ruin his intrument.
@Toni Sumblin Yeah I heard the boys had fist fights on occasion,,,,,its the Italian blood ya know? Fight for a minute and back to friends 2 minutes later,,,,
Agreed, too many singers nowadays are from American Idol backgrounds...all style, little substance. Felix and his Rascals music are a national treasure!
The Young Rascals, yes, full of energy and soul. Their songs are timeless. Great to see Felix C both interviewing and performing (still sounds amazing and soulful) here.
Although we bought Beatles records as a kid, I was given a transistor radio on Christmas 1964. That radio was working until the late 1970s I remember listening to the Rascals. I bought the Rascals 45 singles How can I be sure and People got to be free. This was in New York City.
Felix, Fantastic singer, musician, song writer a real legend.He played with the Rascals a great group and I was the drummer for The Vagrants and we opened alot for them alot. God Bless you Felix. EVANGELIST Roger Mansour Missionary to Haitt
WOW! A buddy to Leslie and the OTHER Felix! That whole New Jersey/New York scene in the mid-60s - it defines American popular music to me (born in '58). My hat's off to you, Roger! 🙂
I'm an army veteran myself Captain Afghanistan I'm 26 now and of course I I love the '60s music through now because my grandparents are 74 they were in Vietnam my dad was in Desert Storm 1990 I think it was and I guess it come from military family and it's but getting back to this music I'm a vocalist and we do 60s and up and there's you know keyboard, once we have a keyboard we're going to do some of these songs and it's just fascinating to hear this guy from the 60s . God bless you Mr Cavaliere !
This kind of feel good, soulful, socially conscious music needs to make a comeback. Which artists can bring it back today? Today there is too much style, not enough substance in music. The Rascals music had both style AND substance!❤😮😊
Every love interest in the mid-sixties and beyond had the Rascals on their Holy Grail sound track, and when they come on, your on, no matter when, how or what.
I love Felix Cavaliere!! This man has created show me the most beautiful music rock ‘n’ roll has ever had to offer. He and the other members of the Rascals deserve more credit than they’ve ever received. Just can’t say enough about the beautiful songs they’ve written and performed. Their entire collection stands the test of time, and will never go out of style.
Wow! What a great interview! One of my favorite bands of the day for rock, New Jersey soul, and great music. The music still resonates. The talent shown through then and carries through today. Thank you, Felix.
One of the best musical interactions/interview that I ever heard between a Musicians and Announcer. Very strange that I came across this on 01/15/2023 M.L.K Day.
This was the beauty of our music back in the days. it never dies The Rascals was one of the best band in the late 60" Felix hasn't lost his talent as a singer still sounds the same.
Great video to find. I'm going to see them in a small theatre near Chicago in September and was just looking for some live stuff to watch. I can't wait.
What an absolutely lovely, intelligent, motivated man!! Congratulations, Felix Cavaliere, on your prowess, your lyricism..your melodies, on the pleasure you brought to so many fans in Australia, and Worldwide. My mother was a Lyric Soprano who sang Billie, Ella, Sarah..When she heard Beautiful Morning, she would sing this all the time! You have a fan..the host!! and,, you have so many more fans who owe you, and the Rascals, so much more than we can repay!!Thanks you, Felix!!,
What an impressive human being! Wow. I grew up with his music over the years but never had an opportunity to see his warmth, depth, and humanity. Bravo Felix! A life worth celebrating!
I’m 62 soon to be 63 and I get a magazine and they were in it, and when I heard the story of how Groovin came about, I just couldn’t get the song out of my mind…didn’t even know who sung it!…. It’s been a month now and I still can’t get it out of my head! I appreciate art of any kind once I know the story behind it, it creates the complete pic and then you get an idea of what they’re trying to express to the audience.
Nice Interview!... I like how he gives Felix all the time he wants, doesnt interject or cut him off. Felix --- totally Fascinating- better than MTVs behind the music. What a consumate Pro Felix Is!!... see that SIR label on the side of that Korg Triton keyboard?.... thats Studio Instrument Rentals... it's so musicians dont hafta lug an instrument across the states to play a gig across the country....... so even on a rented piano / organ he STILL sounds like A MILLION BUCKS!!
We Love you Felix !...Thanks for the music !...I will be 72 tomorrow and your music has been a hit with me since my freshman days in college. What Great hits and Great memories....Again....Thank You ...
I'm turning 68 soon, & all I could say is what wonderful treat it is listening to Felix speak his soul & share his phenomenal playing & singing like this. I've been a fan since their inception, & today I'm an even bigger fan & admirer of Mr. Cavaliere. Greetings from NY, & continued blessings amigo !
Well actually, he has clearly lost some range. He could hit some incredible high's back in the day! But yeah, he still sounds good, great to hear him. I love all their classics.
I don't think he ever smoked. Google his name and ''smoke'' after it and you can't find it. Do the same with Paul McCartney or David Bowie and you can find hundreds...yeah it looked cool, but one is dead from smoking and the other can't sing today because of smoking. Lol
@@willsomervell8246 the parts he is singing don’t necessarily have anything to due with him loosing vocal range. I’ve been a working, live and studio, musician for more than 50 years, working with groups that focused heavily on vocal harmonies. The parts you heard him sing in this video may very well have been the parts he sang in the original recordings. The higher parts you heard were sometimes harmonies that were done by Eddie Brigatti and Gene Cornish. In well blended harmonies you can’t always tell who is singing which part. You hear a high note and assume it’s the singer who is singing the lead. Your brain tricks you into thinking that. And, at times, Eddie’s voice sounded very close to Felix’s.
God bless you, Mr Cavaliere. You, Mr Cornish, Mr Danelli and Mr Brigati take me back to my high school years and bring back memories of the best four years of my life.
@ Eddie & Toni! Had to go to Summer School every year for four years, I was just having too much fun to concentrate in High School! Best years of my life as well. (although I did have good ones in every decade!)... LOL!
About 50 years ago....I went into a bar behind Fenway Park, no cover charge, no advertisements, and it was Felix and his band, I guess it was early or mid 70's. The bar held maybe 75 to 100 ? People. They did all thier hits...how could I have been so lucky. I'll always remember that night.
Wayne Fouche Port Elizabeth South Africa. The Young Rascals and soon to be Rascals were a huge part of my music collection in the late 60s and thereafter. I introduced them to many of my friends and I love them to this day. Almost impossible to name my favourite song but if forced it would be Groovin.
Felix is an under appreciated gem. I love his music and his political compass. Each song he touched on in this program is classic. People Got To Be Free strikes an emotional chord. Great words!! Then, Felix ends it with my favorite, A Girl Like You. Perfect!
I've been a fan of the Young Rascals/Rascals for a good 50(!) years now. Felix: PLEASE write a book already with (if possible) the other Rascals. Always wanted to know more about the Rascals,their writing, their lives,influences, etc. The 60's was an extraordinary era.
This is such a fabulous interview. The host is superb and really gives Felix a blank page to tell his story and let loose. I love The Rascals and Felix even more.
This guy is a talent all those soulful hits, singing and playing that Hammond and kicking those bass pedals all at the same time. . Big part of my young years when I was playing music myself.
I have had the good fortune to see & hear Felix twice this year (2020). At one of those shows I was in the front row and can honestly say that at 77 years old he still has the energy, the voice and the spirit to play as good as ever.
His voice is amazing! I love it! It's A Beautiful Morning is one of my top favorites and I've Been Lonely Too Long and Groovin.. the Young Rascals and Rascals sound, Felix's voice..... Amazing.
Felix Cavaliere, has the best singing voice in the world. In 1968 my band and I won the "Battle of the Bands" we did "Lonely To Long & People Got To Be Free", I tried to immitate Felix Cavaliere the best I could. Oh I loved every note about him coming out of his mouth, even when he sang the word "can't", I immitated him exactly by singing "Kain't", instead of "can't", he was such a cool mo fo. He had the most perfect vibrato in his voice, so natural, so beautiful. "I been lonelay to Lah owng". Hell I love the Beatles, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, I love Smokey Robertson, I love Roy Orbison, and Love Elvis to death, but ain't nobody can sing like Felix Cavaliere, nobody, I never heard anybody come close to his voice, his style, playing that B3, I immitated him to the max with a B3, I sang every word like him, in reality I was no where near him, but in my brain I thought I had him down,..hahahaha Not long after that I was in Vietnam 3rd Marine Division, my girlfriend dumped, me so when I made it home it was all about singing "I Been Lonely To Long", so thank you Felix. I am now 73 years old and still trying to copy, and immitate that mo fo. Hahahahaha
Met him at a concert in Portland Oregon about 6 months ago....had a chance to talk with him after the performance and he was like a long lost friend...a special moment for me. He was one of my favorites when I was a teenager.
Felix - you are my musical hero. Back in the 60's, living on Long Island, listening to your hits on the radio, my band would try to figure out all your hits.
My favorite "Gotta Be Free" verse: "They'll be shoutin' from the mountains all out to the sea, / There's no two ways about it, people got to be free / Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be / it's a nach'l situation for a man to be free." Great, rhythmic, exuberant speech -- spot on. Perfect.
Man, I wished that I had known Felix when we were both at Pelham Memorial High School, NY. He was Class of '60 and I was 3 years behind him. Love The Rascals!
"Good Love" ,,,,,"Good Love" ,,, that was enough Felix,,,,that was the fuse that lit the dynamite,,,,,We love you Felix,,,that dynamite blew the shit up,,,,BIG TIME,,,,
We saw Felix at the Infinity in Connecticut last year (2019). Never lost a step. What a tremendous voice and great entertainer. One of top voices in rock and roll still today.
How wonderful was this, man did I love the Rascals and Felix Cavelieri had one of the greatest voices ever. Such insight into such a thoughtful and well spoken superstar and still sounds great. All the Rascals and their great music, such a joy listening to him sing, A Girl Like You, one of my favorites....thank you for this. 🎼❤
Love this guy and the way his music makes me feel. You can’t think of the 60’s without thinking of his (and the Young Rascals) music. The sound of a generation. This was fantastic!
Oh I LOVE them.....good from the start......what fantastic songwriters.....and one of the best singers ever, Felix........sound as good today as yesterday. Carry on.
The day of my discharge from the Marine’s in the summer of 1969 Norfolk VA, I began my drive home to Massachusetts in my 1964 Chevy Super Sport. When I turned on the radio Beautiful Morning was the first song I heard and after surviving Viet Nam it was a beautiful morning that day.
Paul McCall thanks for your service & sacrifice.
Semper fi dude
@PMC -- serendipity -- good for you! Thanks for your service!
That's a beautiful story.
Thank you for your service .. that sounds like a big memory moment
wow what a spiritual man. always loved Rascals, great songs great playing. a part of my formative years that still take me back
It's amazing that Felix still has a great singing voice, what a talented guy! I love all of the music from The Rascals!
The Rascals still don't get enough credit. One of the all time great bands.
I think they get plenty of credit, every bit of it deserved.
It’s crazy that he still has his original voice and tone after 50 years!
I am a 69 year old musician and, honestly, I'm not surprised. He has had healthy habits and hasn't done anything to degrade his voice. My voice at 69 is richer and more nuanced than it was 30 or 50 years ago. And I have greater control. He's a pro and hasn't allowed drugs, booze or cigarettes ruin his intrument.
His voice has soul, not so much for his keyboard.
Joe you’re bang on point here mate! Great to hear. Felix’s voice is like sunshine.
I know I'm quite randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to stream newly released series online ?
@Lucian Grayson Flixportal :P
How many current “artists” could sound as good within an interview situation, no Autotune, no reverbs, just pure talent.
Bless you, Felix!
My first reaction too.
Gifted man.
I like his live performances as much as his studio recordings.
Honest and genuine ...
No phoney bologna
Now I know why some of my... slightly older...friends liked him .... here in South Western CT ....an honest Joe
One of the premier pop/rock vocalists of his era. And with Eddie a great songwriter.
You've either got it or you haven't. This man has more soul in his little finger than this year's Top 100 "singers."
@Toni Sumblin Yeah I heard the boys had fist fights on occasion,,,,,its the Italian blood ya know? Fight for a minute and back to friends 2 minutes later,,,,
@@daviddoyle4516 Gene Cornish is not italian
I thought he was black for my entire childhood!
Agreed, too many singers nowadays are from American Idol backgrounds...all style, little substance. Felix and his Rascals music are a national treasure!
Man, his voice is still as wonderful as it was 50 years ago! I could listen to that all the time.
One of the best bands of all times, this guy had a tremendous voice also did Eddie Brigati .
Louie Colon As of this interview he still had his voice. As a musician myself, that’s an unusually incredible feat!
Have you seen Little Steven's speech at The Rascals induction into the R&R hall of fame? It's amazing!
The Young Rascals, yes, full of energy and soul. Their songs are timeless. Great to see Felix C both interviewing and performing (still sounds amazing and soulful) here.

They're a big part of my playlist. I always start with It's a Beautiful Morning. Thank you Young Whippersnappers---I mean, Rascals!! ;-)
Felix, Fantastic singer, musician, song writer a real legend.He played with the Rascals a great group and I was the drummer for The Vagrants and we opened alot for them alot.

I really miss turning on the radio & hearing the Rascals. I was 10 years old when Groovin came out. They were the greatest.

One of my 2 favorite vocalists of my teenage years, Felix was always great. The other, BTW, was Levi Stubbs of the 4 Tops.
Felix: One of the all time great voices in music.
It just comes so easy and completely natural to him. What a gift!
THIS GUY IS TRULY MY FAVORITE MUSICIAN, SINGER, SONG WRITER....I LOVE THIS GUY AND THE RASCALS
Joe Easter me too!!!
So true Joe Felix c is great hell Bruce Springsteen was able to bring the rascals back together 🗣〽🎹

The Rascals were the best band......Soul to the Max!
WLS + WCFL Chicago summers late 60s listening for the latest Rascal record. Long time ago still in my memory.
Growing up in the sixties was a great time for music and this group was one of my favorites!
I have had the good fortune to see & hear Felix twice this year (2020). At one of those shows I was in the front row and can honestly say that at 77 years old he still has the energy, the voice and the spirit to play as good as ever.
I saw the Young Rascals mid 60's in Hawaii... one of the bands that pushed me into a musical career!... Thank you Felix, Dino, Eddie, Gene!...
Yup, I was there also. Hawaii luvs the Rascals..4ever! Aloha 2 them.

Our Lady of Hope Queens NY 1965 66? OMG great concert church auditorium 😢brings a tear to my eye Thank you Rascals thank you Felix!,
This music evokes my teenage years. I hope to listen to it for the rest of my life.
That was the best song back then
I saw him and the Rascals ( in their knicker outfits ) at Mountain Park in Massechusetts in 1967.
They were great.
Met him at a concert in Portland Oregon about 6 months ago....had a chance to talk with him after the performance and he was like a long lost friend...a special moment for me. He was one of my favorites when I was a teenager.
parker bergen x
How lucky you were to meet him!
My first concert about 1967 in Houston. Dino inspired me to learn drums.
I love this guy...and the rascals music❤️❤️❤️🥰
The power of a solid melody just never fades away .... thanks Felix for the memories ...
Felix - you are my musical hero. Back in the 60's, living on Long Island, listening to your hits on the radio, my band would try to figure out all your hits.
for this 67 year young man, People Gotta Be Free is my all time Fav song
My favorite "Gotta Be Free" verse:
"They'll be shoutin' from the mountains all out to the sea, / There's no two ways about it, people got to be free / Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be / it's a nach'l situation for a man to be free." Great, rhythmic, exuberant speech -- spot on. Perfect.
"A Rainy Day" one of the most underrated love songs that no one seem to have heard. Great lyrics.
Right on Larry. Right on!
God's gift to music!
Legend! ❤
Man, I wished that I had known Felix when we were both at Pelham Memorial High School, NY. He was Class of '60 and I was 3 years behind him. Love The Rascals!

No questions why The Rascals are still one of my all time favorite groups.

omg sounds as good as he ever did, god bless
Amazing guy with a killer voice.
Saw Felix a few days ago.He sounds as good as ever,and put on a fantastic show.Thanks Felix! 👏👏👏👏👏
"Groovin" is one of the best "feel good songs" of all time. You have to love the Young Rascals.
My favorite band and it hit my soul every time,being a Cuban refugee ,it inspired me as a New Yorker we gotta be Free.
New Yorker greeting from another Cuban refugee in Chicago, came to this great country in the 60s...What a great talent.
One of the great song writers of my generation.
Great voice and he wrote all his hits. Loved the Rascals.
Absolutely love this interview. Felix is the best!!
Oh I LOVE them.....good from the start......what fantastic songwriters.....and one of the best singers ever, Felix........sound as good today as yesterday. Carry on.

Wish there were more Felix Cavalieres here today!!!! Soulful dude!
Very Blue Eyed Soul.
Love The Young Rascals - but hell! WHAT A VOICE!!! And, what a fantastic, intelligent, loving person.
Much appreciated interview. Thank you Felix.
I bow before this great poet and musician. God bless you Felix.
This song is as good as any Beatle composition. It is the magic of music like this that can set reality.
What a voice. The Rascals are severely underrated and so is Felix Cavaliere as a songwriter.
Felix "Genius" Cavaliere!
First concert I ever went to in Sacramento 1966, thank you for the experience. His voice hasn't changed after all these years!
