Im African American and this group despite what you call them was a top soul group of the 60's and 70's. What a great talent. You cannot find music like this anymore. Coltrane, Stan Getz, Dave Brubeck, Credence Clearwater Revival, Jimmy Hnedrix, Earth Wind and Fire. All gone and can only be duplicated but never mastered. I was only a kid during the 70's but what a wonderful time it was.
WHAT DOES YOUR COLOR HAVE TO DO WITH MUSIC??? MUSIC IS TO THE EAR & BROTHER WE ALL BLEED ONE COLOR RED!!! Peace, from your Italian white mix !! GOD BLESS THE 70'S xox
Back when ,He was sopken about Extremely Highly. You ,will hear more now . He's, gone Sadly , The backbone of this Band. -w/o Him .The music would never happen like it did. Peace.
I lived in Garfield N.J. for years I was dating Eddie's cousin Paula, she introduced me to Eddie & David. What an honor to meet them two totally cool guy's!!
I too am african american and this group was played everyday in my house especially this song because we had the Young Rascals greatest hits. This is one of my favorites along with a girl like you. and Good Loving and Groovin and its a Beautiful Morning were played quite a bit on black radio. CCR, the Carpenters(who sang the original Superstar that Luther covered and made his) Doobie Bros. I am a child of the 60s and a teenager in the 70s. these blue eyed soul groups were Great and what an Era.
@@lastnamefirst4035 ---- Back in the 60s, there were some black radio stations (most of them in cities with large African American populations) that played Motown music and other R&B African American artists from other labels that did not get played on the major radio stations that played Rock & Pop music. After hearing their music on the radio, I remember when my brother & sister bought some 45s of The Rascals' songs (" Groovin", "Good Luvin" and "How Can I Be Sure") and played the heck out of those records; and then seeing them play on the Ed Sullivan Show was such fun--- those were some memorable times and great music--- the Rascals were such a talented group.
The 60s brought us extraordinary pop, rock, soul and R&B. The Rascals however, above any other band, were the HEARTBEAT of that era. Thanks fellas. And thank you Utube for keeping them alive.
@@hawkinsa90 They were considered a "blue-eyed soul" band. Me and my black friends and relatives loved them back in the day when we were growing up. The singing duo The Righteous Brothers was another favorite in the hood back in the day, with many of us thinking they were black at first.
@@bholaoates1542 That's one thing I love about music. Brings us all together. I was a white rural kid came up loving all the Motown acts. Also enjoyed the story about the Shangs hired to open for James Brown because the promoters thought they were black, and Brother James cracked up laughing.
@@mikekydd8818 You're right, Mike. Harmony is contagious. You and I are two sides of the same coin since I was a black kid who grew up listening to lots of the rock music of my time in addition to soul music. When it came to music, color didn't matter.
Just a killer song !! That voice, Dino's drumming. THIS is what got me into a professional career as a drummer. Share this with everyone you know ! :-)
Watch the drummer on this track. He is one of the best of his generation. Dino started out as a JAZZ drummer and slide over to soul-rock with THE RASCALS where he excelled.
I really liked to hear their style of music , the lyrics ,the beat in all of Young Rascals songs ,and I grew up listening to mainly R&B radio stations.
One of the greatest songs in Rock history by one of the greatest bands in the world. Lonely Too Long should play on Classic Rock radio every day for 100 years.
This awesome band is a true gem to come out of the 60's. Felix Cavaliere is one of the greatest vocalist of all time imo. I love everything about his style, tone, and timber of his voice. He's so melodic and expressive too.
+Buelligan88 I agree 100%. This is my favorite Rascals song but I pretty much like all their material. They don't get mentioned often enough as one of the best acts from that era.
The subtle ebbs and flows that built up to ecstacy were beyond belief. This music takes me back to a simpler time I lived through with great emotion, which the Rascals radiate. Keep going forever, guys!
My favorite Rascal song. ONLY FELIX can sing it like that!!!! The Rascal's were my favorite band in the 60's , however,Felix has always been my favorite singer of all time.. I only wish that The Rascal's would reunite at least for 6 month's or so!!?? Please guys??!! Love you guys. f
On this day in 1967 {February 12th} the Young Rascals performed "I've Been Lonely Too Long" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'... Two weeks earlier on January 28th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #16 and spent 14 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #17 on the Canadian RPM Tracks chart... R.I.P. Mr. Sullivan {1901 - 1974}...
I was a kid in the 60's and a young teenager in the 70's. We did not have white black radio stations, we all listened to the music that appealed too all of us.
Felix…one of, if not the greatest pop vocalists ever, and Eddie wasn’t far behind. Dino on percussion and Gene carrying the lead, kicking-in with back-up…this group was truly awesome, a term I rarely appoint.
Still listening in 2019.Such a wonderfully talented group of men. Definitely a part of my happy childhood Deserves tons more viewers than this!! To The Rascals ; I love you guys 💕Thank you for the memories
Hilton Driver WOW!! You are so right!!! The lead singer in the song “Express Way to Your Heart “sounds just like Felix Cavaliere of The Rascals!! I have to wonder.....
@@hiltondriver5335 There is a video on youtube of the Soul Survivors playing with Felix. While I love both groups, it was like Felix did not pick up on the same grove the survivors were in. Both were great groups on their own.
On this day in 1967 {February 12th} the Young Rascals performed "I've Been Lonely Too Long" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'... Three weeks earlier on January 22nd it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #79; and on March 26th it peaked at #16 {for 1 week} and spent 14 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #7 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart... Between 1965 and 1971 the quartet had eighteen Top 100 records; with six making the Top 10 and three reaching #1 {"Good Lovin'" for 1 week in 1966, "Groovin'" for 4 weeks in 1967, and "People Got To Be Free" for 5 weeks in 1968... With the first two #1s they were know as 'The Young Rascals', but by the time of their 3rd #1 it was simply 'The Rascals'... They had nine Top 100 records as 'The Young Rascals' and nine Top 100 records as 'The Rascals'...
I loved the Young Rascals and all their songs. Thank you for the history of their music and all the other interesting tidbits about them. I didn't even know they were from N.J. until just recently.
Amazing group. One of the greatest of all times. When listening to their music at mature age and in a more "analytic" way I really understand what a rhytmic "engine" Dino Dannelli was (is). Outstanding drummer!! In my youth I was not fully aware of this because his role came in the background of the fantastic melodies and vocal performances by Eddie and Felix.
I grew up with this music crazy love this song oldest music that I listen I listen to it whatever happened to me always happening the it's raining into a song I've been lonely too long I do not have a choice and if it's being lonely God is good to me I know he's got a plan for me everything that I'm going through my best friend tell me something I put this in God's hands life with my music my friend my comfort and my medicine my music I am happy with that😊😊😊❤❤
Great performance; awesome song. I’m so blessed to have grown up in the 60’s and 70’s. So much great music like this and so many great artists. What has happened to music?
Four New Yorkers; 3 Italians and an Irishman. What a sound they had. I played in a band back in the 60s and we did many of their songs. I always thought it was cool they didn't have a bass player. Felix played on the footboards.
I have often wondered why Dino Danelli did not get more recognition for his superb drumming skills. From all the videos I have seen him play in he smokes it every time. I am not a drummer myself but I can appreciate the skills needed to keep the beat going. Not only does he do that with so much aplomb but his fills are unbelievable. When you are mentioning the top drummers in rock I will say that Dino must be included in that conversation.
He ,was... Most Drummers in the day and even Now when You see what He created. We're just beyond words and comprehension . "Very" few Drumaz ,will ever come up to what Dino was. Felix, once said He was the best on the Planet . I, am somewhat amiss there is not much from Him after His recent passing . Immense contribution to Art.
@@dynasticlight1073 I noticed his drumming from an older video about 15-20 years ago. Very active and his fills were great. I pay attention to drummers even though I am a guitarist. So many of these 60s drummers look like they were just passing time. Not Dino. I thought John Poulos with the Buckingham was pretty good too.
Man, these guys were SOOOOOOOOOOO good it's not even funny! I always thought they were one of America's best kept secrets from an influential standpoint, but in hindsight they were really up there with the top groups of that era (many of them coming over from the UK at the time). Oh yeah, and Felix is definitely one of the most underrated soul singers ever and truly deserves his props! ;-)
You are mistaken. They were big big at the time. Everyone loved them. The "radio DJ's loved playing their songs all the time. The girls were crazy abot Felix. They were never under rated, they were hot hot hot.
These guys are far from forgotten, trust me. Was fortunate to have seen them on the Once Upon A Dream reunion tour, as well as a couple of times over the years from back in the 60's. Internal fighting sadly destroyed the band yet once again after the 2013 reunion.
These 4 guys remind me of Paul McCartney, Dennis Wilson (Beach Boys), Davy Jones (Monkees). and Howard Kaplan ( The Turtles). These guys were so very very talented with some brilliant harmonies. I loved ''Groovin''. I played it here half an hour ago and heard it for the first time in thirty years or so. Been chillin' since then listening to the sounds of a group I miss so much....along with my youth.
Actually, none of those guys had the soulful like Felix. Yup, great musicians, but they fall a little short. Maybe I took what you were saying the wrong way, if so, sorry.
Great music from a magnificent band. I heard that The Rascals were so much into the spirit of the times that they at some point would not perform for a show if the audience did not have a significant number of blacks in attendance. Probably a bad marketing decision, but what heart!!! Respect to the max: from another African American!!!
Yep -- he almost never gets mentioned with the other top drummers of that time. His chops and musicality are on full display on his 13-minute unaccompanied solo on his tune 'Boom' from their "Freedom Suite" album.
A special song for a special time in my life. Things were a lot better back in the 60's. If we had only known what the future would hold I would have frozen time.
Wow, somehow this wasn’t in my playlist of songs from that era. I recognized it immediately, of course. But there were so many amazingly gifted musicians back then, it’s easy to overlook even a masterpiece like this. Thank you.
I had completely forgotten about this great 60s group[. Took me a minute to recall history and relocate them in my memory. Then i recalled, their hit, "GROOVIN' and remembered how great this band was. Now i am listening to their soundtracks,to catch up.
You get to hear the Organ lines a little on here, but the song has a fantastic base part on this song. You need a great sound system in order to really hear them.
Im African American and this group despite what you call them was a top soul group of the 60's and 70's. What a great talent. You cannot find music like this anymore. Coltrane, Stan Getz, Dave Brubeck, Credence Clearwater Revival, Jimmy Hnedrix, Earth Wind and Fire. All gone and can only be duplicated but never mastered. I was only a kid during the 70's but what a wonderful time it was.

I can hardly follow where you went but I can appreciate that tears of joy
Yes sir!
Dino Danelli was the best drummer who never gets talks about!
Back when ,He was sopken about Extremely Highly. You ,will hear more now . He's, gone Sadly , The backbone of this Band. -w/o Him .The music would never happen like it did. Peace.
Dino Dinelli has got to be the most unappreciated drummer of all time !
He's not unappreciated. Great group.
I agree , him & Liberty DeVito have a great panache !
Another that no one mentions is The Hollies Bobby Elliot !
TOTALLY AGREE i FIND MYSELF WATCHING HIM
He is amazing on the drums.

College days. No better group in the sixties. Great variety.
I would never be Cavalier about this, Felix is such an excellent musician.
65 now.big hit in mid sixties!!!
66 here❗️
Best blue eyed soul band ever
Felix disliked being called Blue Eyed Soul. He said that in one of his interviews.
The most unappreciated soul band. I love them as much now as then.
Soul????

He could easily be in Frank Sinatra's band.

I've loved the Rascals for fifty-five years... this is my favorite Rascals song.
And David Cassidy makes a superb version of it.
Mine also. Then I have to say How can I be sure is next. Oh my goodness I like all their song. One of the best bands to come out of the 60's.
I really liked to hear their style of music , the lyrics ,the beat in all of Young Rascals songs ,and I grew up listening to mainly R&B radio stations.
Rascals held their own for quite some time.
Five years at least.
Ah, the 60s comes alive! Best American band of the era...never gets old...
what a soulful voice. Felix had a sensational voice!
The drummer wow
2 nice
Nicholas Maxwell Felix still has that sensational voice...a real blue-eyed soul singer!
Always felt sorry for Eddie Brigati Jr. for not having a real role in the band. Maybe he should have learned the bass.
He's tapping into his inner Bobby Darin on this one. Darin should have recorded it.
I love their music fantastic group I grew up with their music the the music is fantastic this is my favorite song❤

One of many good-time songs from back then. Time it was...
The Rascals also should be in the Motown Hall of Fame, too...These Jersey Boys have lots of soul.
Yeah along side the soul survivors they had similar sounds
Can get an Amen? Damn right!!!!!!

Best group ever. Wish i had seen them in concert!

I was born in 87 but this was my youth.... Those vocals anyone else moving their hips
Very good
Felix is epitome of cool. That scissors gesture was beyond cool. Great song.
Me again. Rascals were the Beatles in America.
Great band, great song, as a matter of fact, all their songs are great.
What a great song.............. always loved it and the Rascals.
Awesome song! Amazing band!
Dino a great underrated drummer!!!
He, was un ratable . Forget about under. "Over The Top"
Mrs. Ward hete. Grew up a young teenager and a little older, and these guys were everything to a lot of kids.
My first concert in 1968 and still the best. Felix is the GOAT!!
Four New Yorkers; 3 Italians and an Irishman. What a sound they had. I played in a band back in the 60s and we did many of their songs. I always thought it was cool they didn't have a bass player. Felix played on the footboards.
Really? Sounds like a good bass payer.

The most over-rated drummer of all time has to be Charlie Watts. I guess he was in the right place at the right time.
The Rascals had a quality that was charismatic. Pop yes but memorable and good for young children. Cool, bros!
Felix is a damn genius. Love it !!!
And very deservedly these guys are in the RHOF.
This generation s music 🎵🎶 created love ❤️ and Many of us married our Jr high school boyfriend's !!

That song took me back to high school. Loved the Rascals.
Did you ever listen listen to the soul survivors from Philadelphia they were similar to sound of the rascals
Another great song from a great band that is all but forgotten these days. I believe they wrote their own songs too.

These 4 guys remind me of Paul McCartney, Dennis Wilson (Beach Boys), Davy Jones (Monkees). and Howard Kaplan ( The Turtles).
These guys were so very very talented with some brilliant harmonies.
I loved ''Groovin''. I played it here half an hour ago and heard it for the first time in thirty years or so.
Been chillin' since then listening to the sounds of a group I miss so much....along with my youth.
Thomas Wolfe: You can't go home again. Besides, why would you want to?

This IS greatness defined. The Rascals were the best!
Great music from a magnificent band.

A classic 60's hit.
What a treat to see the Boys perform this great hit -- too bad it cut at the end -- but it really doesn't change a thing .... BRAVO !
So many of their songs were my favorites when I was young and just starting to dig music.
I love the rascals to this day.
That dude can sing-sang. My mom played all there tunes, I learned the lyrics as a African American kid. Me stil like them all.
Yes, Felix C. can "saaaannnggg".
Real cuties luv the Rascals glad I grew up with them
Totally agree w/U. Will always luv the Rascals!
The GREATEST GET DOWN in NYC - Young Rascals SOULIN' ... explosively!

A special song for a special time in my life. Things were a lot better back in the 60's. If we had only known what the future would hold I would have frozen time.

I had completely forgotten about this great 60s group[. Took me a minute to recall history and relocate them in my memory. Then i recalled, their hit, "GROOVIN' and remembered how great this band was. Now i am listening to their soundtracks,to catch up.
Dino was my favorite drummer growing up...plus he was from Jersey city like me
if you view the Billy Joel video of "Hey Girl" , keyboard player and lead singer Felix Cavilier is playing the keys for Joel on that song.
god what a soulful song. if they're still around i wish they'd get together and do their hits.
You get to hear the Organ lines a little on here, but the song has a fantastic base part on this song. You need a great sound system in order to really hear them.
The greatest rock band of all time.Long live the 60s.Rock On.
Dino my favorite drummer growing up...plus he is from jersey city like me..
The Rascals did not get all of accolades they deserved. They were overshadowed by the British groups during the 1960's.
@@jamescarter5042 plus they were four unpretentious cool cats.
@@gregmcdermott3285 They were popular on R&B radio stations philly
Wow how awrsome that is.
The guy on double tambourines is totally workin it! The Rascals were great. Thanks for posting.
as a teenager every local band could play this song...some great memories.
Absolutely Magical... today's record company's would never tolerate natural creativity,without over-producing it..
Much Motown influence, especially with the keyboard and percussion. I love it. I bet they knew who the Funk Brothers were, at the time.
They don’t make great music like this anymore.
Priceless memories. Cheers!
This is way ahead of its time.
