Music had transcended barriers back then, as the music communicated love and peace. Such an era where musicians had real mutual appreciation of each other's skill and talent. A beautiful era! ❤
Oh I don’t believe it ! Finally! Someone reacted to the rascals ! Thank you .. what a great band out of New Jersey , Italian Americans who worshipped Wilson Picket . They combined soul with their own style . Fun fact : the Rascals were the first American band to not put on a concert if black people were not allowed . Listen to A girl like you , people got to be free etc etc . Man they have great songs .
When buddy holly first played in harlem.,s great theater in 58,they were expecting a black group and when curtains opened there was a silence,as portrayed in the movie.he broke the ice with.well I didn't expect you all either.and next they were dancing in the isles.
Hari, I'm glad you found out that good music is not judged by color. In fact when this song first came out, I was not thinking or wondering what color they were. No, I only knew I liked it. Whether they were black or white meant nothing to me.
Thanks for reminding about "People Got To Be Free"! I'm definitely going to listen to that song. That is Harri doesn't react to "People Got To Be Free".
I am an old man now and I have come to learn that when it comes to athletic and musical talent, you never know were you are going to find it and who it will be. There is no accounting for talent. It is just there.
This song 1967 was play on all the soul station on the radio. Every body love it and I wanted to sing ,now after many years I got it down ,people love to hear me sing this song because it is Grovin all the way.
The Rascals were a FANTASTIC band! Groovin' was a huge #1 record. They had so many great hit singles! Good Lovin'... How Can I Be Sure.. A Girl Like You.. Beautiful Morning... People Got To Be Free...all FANTASTIC songs! One of my Favourite groups of the 60s!!♥️♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
The lead singer is Felix Cavaliere, who is Italian-American. I think the majority of the band, except Gene Cornish, who is playing the harmonica, are also Italian-American.
Thxs for the good information! Eddie Brigatti I know How can I Be Sure maybe A Girl Like You. Both great songs He was in Joe y Dee & Starlighters, Peppermint Twist. I believe he and Felix are still performing.
Another great chill, feel-good song, same era, is "Its a Beautiful Morning" by the Rascals. Its one of the songs on my "morning" playlist, helps me start the day in a great mood. Love the channel and reactions, Hari, thx!
This was a terrific group in the mid sixties. They have a long list of hits to include People got to be free and many more. Way underrated at the time probably because of the popularity of the British Invasion. Brings back many memories for me!
Soul was really Soul be it brown or blue eyed. The 60's crushed it. All those songs I heard as a pre teen are now out of Pandora's box for me to really appreciate in my senior maturity.
When he sings "You and me, endlessly..." lot's of people thought he was singing "You and me and Leslie" (no joke) prompting a whole "Who is this Leslie person?" debate.
This was a radio staple in the late 70s/early 80s and I've been searching for it so long. I would never have guessed it was 60s. And not Afro-American.
The two guys in the band that wrote this song are in the songwriters hall of fame this is one of the greatest American bands of the 1960s and they are Italian Americans
Italian -Am soul... This was a hand in hand groove during the Vietnam War era in the cities where racial tensions where high but people still had love and respect for each other in their own neighborhoods
The guy who played Silvio in the Sopranos once said at their rock&roll hall of fame induction that their the most “black sounding Italians in the music business”
Yes. It's a Beautiful Morning is a song that always leaves me smiling, ever since I was in about 4th grade, when it was in the regular radio song list rotation. It would be a good next song for this band.
Hi Harri , check out a band called , Sugarloaf , the song is Green Eyed Lady , the version is 6 : 50 minutes , prepare to go on a mind trip , thank you , I know you will love it ! Love & light my friend 😃✨✨✨✨
Harri, I love your reactions. Your face is so expressive! I love your comment, "Soul has no color." Exactly. I've felt for years that the respect musicians and athletes show for each other has always been the cutting edge of improved race relations. Thanks for your comments
Felix is one of the greatest singers ever. Im a big fan of theirs since 67. Had many hits Good Lovin, Beautiful Morning, People gotta be Free. Eddie Brigatti guy in green shirt sang A Girl like You maybe How can I Be Sure. Their in R & R Hall of Fame. Agreed, it's a beautiful timeless song. Keep up the good work
Rascal's were a good lite rock group. They made feel good toe tapping songs and were on the radio all the time. This song, for me, has the same vibe as "Up on the Roof" and "Under the Boardwalk" by the Drifters which was written by Carol King and ex-hubby. Harri, both these songs are worth a listen to. Boardwalk is one my all time favorites. Thanks for sharing this groovin' song.
Good lite Rock Group? Seriously. The are straight ahead Rock N Roll. Listen to Come on up, I Ain't Gonna Eat out my heart, Mickey's Monkey, Lonely Too Long, Good Lovin, A Girl Like you etc...
Takes me back to the 60’s, listened to this one a lot! Loved that this American group wouldn’t play a concert until black people could attend ! They are part of the blue eyed soul I grew up with, like Tommy James ! This is very Motown, soulful. Thanks so much Harri, you made my day & I’m Groovin 😊💎💜💋🇨🇦☮️ How is your harmonica playing coming along Harri 😊 can’t wait to hear you playing!!
You are not the only one my man . All my early life I thought the same thing . And I'm a musician , been in three bands , first time I saw this I flipped. I was like I thought they were black ......Damn . You go my man ! LOVE THE SONGS YOU BEEN GETTIN IN TO BRO .
The Rascals were one of the best bands to come out of the sixties. Felix Cavaliere was the lead Vocalist and keyboard player/writer on Groovin'. The Rascals were classified as Blue Eyed Soul in the sixties. Other bands classified as such were the Righteous Brothers and Flaming Embers. The Rascals had many more hits including 'People Got To be Free' 'Good Loving' 'Temptations About To Get Me', How Can I be Sure(sung by the percussionist/second Lead Vocals Eddie Brigatti), Glory Glory', and It's a Beautiful morning' among others. Thanks for your honesty and review.
I think the most relevant quote is by Mac Davis...'Music is the universal language, and love is the key'. Mac Davis wrote In the Ghetto by Elvis. You should check out I Believe in Music by him. He truly believed in the oneness of humanity.
This song was a favorite when it came out in my grade school days, when Mike, my neighbor, like Leslie, and I liked her sister. So that line always served as a double entendre for "That would be ecstasy, you and me and Leslie."
So glad to hear you react to them! They're a great band with a very underrated drummer. It's a Beautiful Morning, Good Lovin', People Got To Be Free are some other great ones. (Another great 60's band that no one reacts to--and should be--is The Lovin' Spoonful. Summer in the City, Daydream, Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind, Nashville Cats
Yeah, this has that 5th Dimension sound (Stoned Soul Picnic) - but I never had that picture in my mind. We all get pictures in our minds of voices and music, and often get surprised by the truth. We took a road trip in '67 and I remember my father tapping out the beat on the steering wheel every time "Happy Together" by The Turtles came on the radio - well, a couple weeks later they were on a tv variety show and Dad was shocked to see they were a bunch of "Mod Hipsters", HA HA HA!
Felix Cavelliere, is Italian-American. The Rascals were one of the most popular groups in the world in the mid to late 1960s. So many huge hits! I know if you played more of their music, you'd be saying "OI know this song!" "Good Lovin'," "It's a Beautiful Morning" and many more. Still one of my favorite "Classic Rock" Bands.
One of my favorite groups from my teen years. So many great songs! My favorite is How Can I Be Sure. Good Lovin' was their first #1 hit, People Got To Be Free was their last #1 hit. You'll enjoy any & all of their songs.
THAT is SO TRUE -- "Soul has NO color" -- well said -- sorry I'm so late to coming to these reactions -- forgive me ...... PS - & keep an eye on those New Jersey musicians from the 1960s, esp the ones w/ ears to hear what came before them & their era
The Rascals recorded on Atlantic Records. They did a lot of covers by Black Artists that could be played on Southern stations, as many stations would not play music by black artists.
Yes, It's a beautiful morning is another one. When this came out I was about 9 years old, but I had a sister in High School and she had everything. I listened to all her music and the radio was just great! So, a lot of Groups back then were just flat-out talented!!! We didn't go by race, it was by sound!
I'm quite surprised you haven't reacted to others of theirs such as: It's a Beautiful Morning, Good Lovin', which is one of the greatest Rock & Roll songs ever, People Got To be Free and How can I be sure. Thanks, Harri, you are one of my favorite reactors and a fine human being for sure! Do us and yourself a favor and please react to the songs I've mentioned. Bob's your Uncle. Keep up the great work - Lenny!
One of the greatest aspects of the music of the 1960s is that almost everyone had so many influences from so many different sources. The Rascals/Young Rascals began as a powerful R&B based group and that influenced so much of what they released. Keeping in mind that the popularity of Blues in modern culture is the result of the form's being embraced by countless UK kids who brought it back to America, where Blues was either ignored or largely forgotten. For a look at this band showing their love for R&B, check out an early hit, I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore, the smoking hot Good Lovin' or even their later song, See. Music should be a lesson to all of us. Music knows no colour. Take care and stay safe, Harri. Peace, brother ♥
Add me to the list. Never seen. Heard this many times as a kid. Kinda thought he was black. Mostly because of the 2 lines, 'Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon and Groovin' down a crowded avenue.' Just something in his accent. I saw the moment you realized the reality!
Welcome to "blue-eyed soul". The sixties were probably the greatest time in music with melodies and lyrics. AND singers who could ACTUALLY SING!! No autotune and computer gimickry!
I thought Dusty Springfield was a black girl but NOPE shocked me! She was a hot blonde woman but her voice....wow! Son of a preacher man you need to listen to it and soul knows no color! Color doesn't matter anyway we are all lovely if you treat one another with respect!
We saw the singer, Felix Cavaliere, and a top notch band performing at a small venue about 6 to 8 years ago. He would have been in his 70's and still in such amazing voice! And the band was terrific! What a great show! They didn't hold anything back. You would have thought they'd been a huge arena. What a gracious generous performer he is. And my wife and I got to dance to "Good Lovin'"!
"Soul has no color". Exactly!
I’m a 67 year old black woman who grew up with the Rascals. Good music is music all day long
That's just another example of blue eyed soul and I love it
Absolutely !😀
It's one of the most beautiful songs both written and sung ever. Excellent band, songs and lyrics.
The Rascals had many black fans during the 1960's.
That's right baby. Soul has no color
Music had transcended barriers back then, as the music communicated love and peace. Such an era where musicians had real mutual appreciation of each other's skill and talent. A beautiful era! ❤
Oh I don’t believe it ! Finally! Someone reacted to the rascals ! Thank you .. what a great band out of New Jersey , Italian Americans who worshipped Wilson Picket .

When buddy holly first played in harlem.,s great theater in 58,they were expecting a black group and when curtains opened there was a silence,as portrayed in the movie.he broke the ice with.well I didn't expect you all either.and next they were dancing in the isles.
Good for them!! Standing against racism in the mid 60's. Obviously admired the great black artists of the time.
They were the first white group to sign with Atlantic Records.
Hari, I'm glad you found out that good music is not judged by color. In fact when this song first came out, I was not thinking or wondering what color they were. No, I only knew I liked it. Whether they were black or white meant nothing to me.
Thanks for reminding about "People Got To Be Free"!
I'm definitely going to listen to that song. That is Harri doesn't react to "People Got To Be Free".
One of my favorite songs from the late 60's
"I thought they were black." Many people said this about the Righteous Brothers too!
Buddy Holly and the Crickets
I am an old man now and I have come to learn that when it comes to athletic and musical talent, you never know were you are going to find it and who it will be. There is no accounting for talent. It is just there.
This song 1967 was play on all the soul station on the radio. Every body love it and I wanted to sing ,now after many years I got it down ,people love to hear me sing this song because it is Grovin all the way.
From his bio - The classically trained pianist, born in Pelham, New York, idolized Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, and Sam Cooke
Msrvin gaye remade groovin.
The Rascals were a FANTASTIC band! Groovin' was a huge #1 record. They had so many great hit singles! Good Lovin'... How Can I Be Sure.. A Girl Like You.. Beautiful Morning... People Got To Be Free...all FANTASTIC songs! One of my Favourite groups of the 60s!!♥️♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
The lead singer is Felix Cavaliere, who is Italian-American. I think the majority of the band, except Gene Cornish, who is playing the harmonica, are also Italian-American.
Thxs for the good information! Eddie Brigatti I know How can I Be Sure maybe A Girl Like You. Both great songs He was in Joe y Dee & Starlighters, Peppermint Twist. I believe he and Felix are still performing.
Dino Danelli on drums and Eddie Brigatti vocals too.
You are correct
@@joycewalbert1413 I had a crush on Dino. Thought he looked like Paul McCartney.
jam6242 - Gene was Canadian. Born in Ottawa, Ontario.
People Got To Be Free & Ray of Hope are must listens, now as impactful as they were 50 years ago. Felix Cavaliere is an unsung genius.
"Ray of Hope" definitely a great song by them.
People Got to be Free is their masterpiece of blue-eyed soul... though Groovin' and It's a Beautiful Morning are also masterpieces.
Love “People Got To Be Free”!
Yes, Felix is a genius. So very gifted.
Peaceful World
Another great chill, feel-good song, same era, is "Its a Beautiful Morning" by the Rascals. Its one of the songs on my "morning" playlist, helps me start the day in a great mood. Love the channel and reactions, Hari, thx!
I second that emotion!
I agree
Group from New Jersey. Very talented. Many talented groups originated from New Jersey and NYC at that time, black and white.
Another Rascals songs are Good Loving and People Got to Be Free.
This was a terrific group in the mid sixties. They have a long list of hits to include People got to be free and many more. Way underrated at the time probably because of the popularity of the British Invasion. Brings back many memories for me!
They were big at that time. Still one of my favorites.
Oh yeah forgot about that one, people got to be free is awesome
Soul has no color♡♡♡♡
Soul was really Soul be it brown or blue eyed. The 60's crushed it. All those songs I heard as a pre teen are now out of Pandora's box for me to really appreciate in my senior maturity.
Hey, Harri... Try the ballad by the Rascals, this time with Eddie Brigati singing lead: "How Can I be Sure."
That’s one of my favorites.
@@erdossuitcase7667 mine 2 👍
I second that! It's a great song, one of their best.
Exquisite. Patti Austin sings it magnificently too.
@@TheDivayenta
Thanks for that. Love that song. Real musicians
The Rascals aka the Blue-eyed Soul Brothers. Loved 'em best as a Jersey kid.
When he sings "You and me, endlessly..." lot's of people thought he was singing "You and me and Leslie" (no joke) prompting a whole "Who is this Leslie person?" debate.
SIMPLY A CLASSIC
Three Italians and a Canadian.... Dino Danelli was a phenomenon on drums (especially to watch)
'A Beautiful Morning', 'People Got to Be Free', 'How Can I Be Sure' just a few more of their classics
I love that : soul has no color
Music.. truly a universal language
This was a radio staple in the late 70s/early 80s and I've been searching for it so long. I would never have guessed it was 60s. And not Afro-American.
The 60's and 70's were an awesome time for music. Soul has no color :)
This is Blue-Eyed Soul.
Blue eyed soul. The Rascals were great, part of the soundtrack of my youth!
"Good Lovin" and "People Got to be Free" are fun songs by them!
I saw them perform a few years ago. Felix said he would not do the basic stuff written for them. They did all their on songs, except for the covers
The two guys in the band that wrote this song are in the songwriters hall of fame this is one of the greatest American bands of the 1960s and they are Italian Americans
Italian -Am soul... This was a hand in hand groove during the Vietnam War era in the cities where racial tensions where high but people still had love and respect for each other in their own neighborhoods
The guy who played Silvio in the Sopranos once said at their rock&roll hall of fame induction that their the most “black sounding Italians in the music business”
DeBarge is a mighty Italian soul band, too.
Yeah you can become colorblind listening to this
Blue eyed soul at it's best!
Remember soul is on the inside and much more than skin deep!
One of my favorite groups at that time.
Soul remains color free.... despite those matrix monitors.
The Rascals did many covers of Black Artists for Atlantic Records to be played in the 60s South.
This old Canadian long haired retired dude digs your choices. Groove on brother.
Thank you for reacting to Rascals they were a great 60's group had lots of hits
Got overshadowed by the British invasion
My favorite song from the Rascals was Its a Beautiful Morning.Thanks for playing some of the great songs of the sixties
They remind me of The Drifters. And The Drifters had a pile of GREAT HITS!
"Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly"... Groovin on a Sunday afternoon. 1967 or 2067, simply timeless . Can't tell me this ain't the Shhh
Yes. It's a Beautiful Morning is a song that always leaves me smiling, ever since I was in about 4th grade, when it was in the regular radio song list rotation. It would be a good next song for this band.
Hi Harri , check out a band called , Sugarloaf , the song is Green Eyed Lady , the version is 6 : 50 minutes , prepare to go on a mind trip , thank you , I know you will love it ! Love & light my friend 😃✨✨✨✨
Guys in my squad would sing this song before going on patrol in Vietnam.
one of the most beautiful songs put down,, People Got to Be Free
Some of the songs you play are 50 and 60 years old and still sounds great 👍
Imagine that????
Great music will ALWAYS be Great music.
Music of the 50s 60 70s '80s '90s a little bit part of the 2000"s Timeless Legendary 🎶🎶🎶 ! Just Sayin
Harri, I love your reactions. Your face is so expressive! I love your comment, "Soul has no color." Exactly. I've felt for years that the respect musicians and athletes show for each other has always been the cutting edge of improved race relations. Thanks for your comments
I was 12 when this came out , I love it
Love your reactions Harri, this one just goes to show we are all the same regardless of skin colour.
Exactly what i thought ✌🏾
Felix is one of the greatest singers ever. Im a big fan of theirs since 67. Had many hits Good Lovin, Beautiful Morning, People gotta be Free. Eddie Brigatti guy in green shirt sang A Girl like You maybe How can I Be Sure. Their in R & R Hall of Fame. Agreed, it's a beautiful timeless song. Keep up the good work
Felix is a classically trained pianist.
Hey Harri! Check out 'How Can I Be Sure?' They will blow you away! Melty
Try Ferry Cross the Mersey and Don't Let the Sun Go Down On You by Gerry and the Pacemakers
I think you mean “Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying”
Me too ,heard this plenty of times on the radio , always thought it was soul group and black , what a surprise but nice one. , 😮
Rascal's were a good lite rock group. They made feel good toe tapping songs and were on the radio all the time.

Yea thanx Andy..i know both songs
I couldn’t agree more.

Thanks so much Harri, you made my day & I’m Groovin 😊💎💜💋🇨🇦☮️
How is your harmonica playing coming along Harri 😊 can’t wait to hear you playing!!
Much respect for the group not tolerating racism!
That makes me so happy! I didn't know they did that. Respect.
The Young Rascals/Rascals are an awesome group, plus they were tremendous advocates for kindness and equality!! So smooth and soulful! ❤
Beautiful , right on ✌🏽✌🏽
You are not the only one my man . All my early life I thought the same thing . And I'm a musician , been in three bands , first time I saw this I flipped. I was like I thought they were black ......Damn . You go my man ! LOVE THE SONGS YOU BEEN GETTIN IN TO BRO .
*Harri, you might like their song, "Beautiful Morning," too. (Possibly, dare I say it,, even more than "Groovin")*.

And thanks you for the great reaction.
This was one of my favorites as a teen. I’d like to suggest Sly and the family Stone “Everyday People “.

Not one of their best. I play If You Want Me To Stay almost everyday and sometime on repeat after 40 years. Now that is a tune
@@SailorBarsoom Hahah. Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin).
The Rascals and the Righteous Brothers is where the term "blue eyed soul" came from. Fantastic time for music.

Still one of my favorite "Classic Rock" Bands.
One of absolutely favourite songs. Harri I was in shock too. All these years thinking they were black too!
One of my favorite groups from my teen years. So many great songs! My favorite is How Can I Be Sure. Good Lovin' was their first #1 hit, People Got To Be Free was their last #1 hit. You'll enjoy any & all of their songs.
First time I heard the Rascals was watching Hullabaloo, but I was surprised at his voice.
Have a great day.

Amazing comes from where you don't expect. Just embrace it and be Grooving on a Saturday afternoon!

My vote goes to "How Can I Be Sure"
THIS SONG WAS IT__GOOD WEED AND NATURE AND A CONVERTIBLE CAR
Dang harri, this is such a golden oldie for me,. It came out around the time I got married. So smooth🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 💕
I've always like "How can I Be Sure" and "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore"
This was a staple in my house, growing up. I thought, I knew all the blue eyed soul. Even I didn't know they were white. Lol
I was in grade school when this came out...loved this song then...love it still
We saw the singer, Felix Cavaliere, and a top notch band performing at a small venue about 6 to 8 years ago. He would have been in his 70's and still in such amazing voice! And the band was terrific! What a great show! They didn't hold anything back. You would have thought they'd been a huge arena. What a gracious generous performer he is. And my wife and I got to dance to "Good Lovin'"!
Happy to say all 4 Rascals are still with us. They even had a reunion tour several years ago.
Blue eyed Soul, Man.
