The message has always been to stand for peace, love, and happiness. For legendary singer songwriter, FELIX CAVALIERE, making people feel good is primary to his illustrious 50-year career that includes the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,
Songwriter Hall of Fame, Vocal Group Hall of Fame, Grammy Hall of Fame, and 18 Top 40 hits, five Top 10 hits, and three number one mega hits. Few artists can claim they defined a generation; FELIX CAVALIERE continues to remind us to keep listening for the world's beauty.
A classically trained pianist from New York, Mr. Cavaliere idolized Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, and Sam Cooke. Early in 1965, Mr. Cavaliere formed the Young Rascals with Dino Danelli, Eddie Brigati, and Gene Cornish. Later that same year, they caught the attention of promoter/manager Sid Bernstein at Long Island's elite club, Barge. After signing with Atlantic Records and now called The Rascals, their mega hit "Good Lovin" reached number one in February 1966. They followed suit with a string of hits such as "I've Been Lonely Too Long," "Groovin'," "How Can I Be Sure," "A Girl Like You," "A Beautiful Morning," and "People Got to Be Free." The Rascals are considered one of the best 'blue-eyed soul' groups to come out of the 1960s. Don't miss Felix Cavaliere's Rascals!
