Groovin'

I remember growing up to these songs. Wish I could bring it all back. Love, love, love. Forever.

The Young Rascals were my very first favorite band. The first album I ever bought was “Collections.” I was 12 years old. I’m pretty sure this was the second album I ever bought. “A Girl Like You” was my favorite song for years. The magic starts with the opening piano, Felix’s vocals, then that beautiful chord change when he sings “about.” The B side of that single, “It’s Love,” is magical, too. As a young kid, I’d never heard something so moody and sophisticated. It turns out that the great jazz master Hubert Laws is playing the amazing flute that adds so much atmosphere to this tune. I do believe this song led me eventually to a love of jazz. A few years later, I saw Yes in concert, right after “The Yes Album” came out. The crowd loved them and demanded an encore. Much to my amazement, they did a terrific extended version of “It’s Love.” This whole album is full of magic. Still awesome today.

One of the best albums of the late 60's this has a place on my "desert island" playlist. While it is packed with hits, the album sequencing is perfect and plays well as an album.

Perfect music to listen to while riding 40 miles. Luv the Rascals!

I love the music on this album. Ive been a fan of The Rascals since I heard Good Lovin. Theres not a bad song here and yes they were at a peak here. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to groove on some good music
