History

[edit]

Origins

[edit]

Felix Cavalierewas already trained inclassicalpiano by his mother when he founded adoo-wopgroup, the Escorts (notthe R&B group of the same name), while enrolled atSyracuse University.[4]In 1964, Cavaliere took a job with Joey Dee's backing band,the Starliters,of "Peppermint Twist"fame, where he met StarliterDavid Brigati.When the group played the Choo Choo Club inGarfield, New Jersey,Cavaliere met Brigati's younger brother,Eddie,who wanted to follow in his brother's footsteps. Cavaliere, in an interview with journalist Don Paulson, spoke about his first encounter with the younger Brigati:

I saw a little kid walk into the place. He didn't look old enough to go out of his house alone. He used to walk into the [Choo Choo] club and no matter who was singing, get on the stage, and bury them with his voice. We made an impression on each other. He used to come around every once in a while, and I loved to play behind his singing. I told him that someday we were going to get together.[5]

CanadianguitaristGene Cornishleft his group, The Unbeatables, for which he acted as frontman, to join the Starliters, in early 1965.[5]After meeting Cornish, Cavaliere's interest in forming a band of his own led him to convince both Cornish and (Eddie) Brigati to depart from Dee's backing band to start a new one with an old acquaintance of his,jazzdrummerDino Danelli.[5][6]The group came up with the name "Rascals" while at the Choo Choo Club. Prior to the Rascals name they were using another group name "Them". Because there was another group, which included Van Morrison, using the name "Them"in the UK they dropped that name and came up with The Rascals name through the help of TV comedy starSoupy Saleswhom they met through manager Billy (Amato) Smith. The Rascals were Sales's back up band touring local colleges in the early months of 1965.

Initially, the Rascals began rehearsing at Cavaliere's house inPelham Manor, New Yorkand then, the Choo Choo Club, mostly because it was close to Brigati's home and they needed a showcase.[5]Later in May 1965, under the direction of their management Billy (Amato) Smith, they were hired to do a summer engagement at the debut club of The Barge on Dune Road in Westhampton New York,[7]a floatingLong Islandclub, where they settled.[8]There they developed their mixedR&B-soulsound based on Cavaliere's organ and soulful vocals, mostly filled with traditional R&B covers.

The quartet did not have any officialbass player,because of Brigati's inability to play musical instruments, other than percussion (even when the band bought him aFender Mustang Bassin 1967) and the Rascals' wish of staying in theformulaoffour members.[9]Cavaliere'sorgan pedals(and later, session bassists, likeChuck Rainey,in studio recordings) filled the bass parts.

At the Barge club in August 1965, manager Billy (Amato) Smith, who discovered them at the beginning of their music career as the Rascals, introduced the group toSid Bernstein,an impresario known at the time for helping to promote theBritish Invasion,bringing famousUKbands likethe Beatlesandthe Rolling StonestoAmerica.[10]

To promote the band, Bernstein and Smith came up with the publicity stunt of posting the phrase "The Rascals are coming!" at theShea Stadium's scoreboard, at the same time thatthe Fab Fourwere doing the opening of their1965 North American tour.Beatles managerBrian Epsteinordered the post to be removed before his band arrived on the stage.[11][12]

A lot of people who hadn't seen pictures of them thought they [the Rascals] were a R&B group. I sensed something big about them with the thanks to Billy (Amato) Smith.

— Sid Bernstein

This event helped the group to get a $15,000 contract withAtlantic Records,a label which mainly had black artists, becoming the first white-only act to be signed at Atlantic.[5]Sid Bernstein would manage them for the next five years and Billy (Amato) Smith as their publicist and promotion advisor.[11]The contract also stipulated that the band could self-produce their records. But problems arose when they discovered that another group,Borrah Minnevitch'sandJohnny Puleo's'Harmonica Rascals', objected to their release of records under the name 'The Rascals'. To avoid conflict, Bernstein decided to rename the group 'The Young Rascals', possibly because all the members were under 25.[13][14]

Commercial success and songwriting development

[edit]

The line-up of Brigati on lead vocals, Cavaliere on organ, Cornish on guitar and Danelli on drums would stay true in the Young Rascals' debut single, thePam Sawyer/Lori Burton"I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore",which was performed in their first television performance on the programHullabalooon February 24, 1966. But the track reached only #23 inCanadaand did not reach the Top 40 of theUS charts.After the modest success of "Eat Out My Heart Anymore", Cavaliere would assume the lead vocals on their subsequent records, starting with its follow-up "Good Lovin'",originally recorded byLemme B. GoodandThe Olympicsin 1965, with the same arrangement and different lyrics from the original. Ironically, David Brigati, had been the lead singer of the Starliters, but never had any hits. Once Joey Dee had a hit with "The Peppermint Twist" he took over the lead vocals. History repeated itself when Felix replaced Eddie as the Rascals' lead singer. They performed "Good Lovin'" onThe Ed Sullivan Show.[15]The Young Rascals version became their first Canada/USA #1.[2][10]Shortly after, theireponymous debut albumwas released, mostly composed ofgarage rockrenditions offolk rock( "Just a Little"and"Like a Rolling Stone"), andsoultunes ( "Mustang Sally"and"In the Midnight Hour"), with only one original, the Cavaliere/Cornish penned" Do You Feel It ".The Young Rascalsreached #15 on theBillboard Top LPs chartand #10 inCashbox.The album was certifiedGoldby theRIAA.[16]

From there, the songwriting partnership between Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati began to flourish. Cavaliere wrote the music and themes, and Brigati, the verses with the former's help.[6]Their second album,Collections,had four Cavaliere/Brigati songs and two Cornish originals in its eleven tracks. Follow-ups to their number one record, "You Better Run"– later covered byPat Benatarin 1980 – and "Come On Up", did not do as well as their predecessor (peaking at #20 and #43, respectively).[citation needed]The band made their UK debut on December1, 1966, atThe Scotch of St. Jamesclub in London.Paul McCartneyattended the concert and was so excited by the band that he also attended their show the following night, held at the Blaises Club.[17]

In the meantime, Cavaliere started to datehigh schoolstudent Adrienne Bechurri. His relationship inspired him to write several songs in 1967, including Top 20 "I've Been Lonely Too Long"and Top 10's"How Can I Be Sure",and"Groovin'",their second #1.[18]"Groovin'", having its laid-back sound and anAfro-Cubangroove, found some resistance with Atlantic's headJerry Wexler;[14]"I've Been Lonely Too Long" and thejazz-influenced "A Girl Like You" talked about the advantages of a relationship against loneliness, but the introspective "How Can I Be Sure", with Brigati's lead vocals, expressed the doubts about love, like Cavaliere's conflicting feelings about Bechurri.[19]All these songs were included at theGroovin'album, which had the majority of the tracks penned by Cavaliere/Brigati. Bruce Eder, writing forAllMusic,ratesGroovin'as the Rascals' best, noting the record's soulful core and innovative use of jazz and Latin instrumental arrangements.[20]

Groovin'marked the first time that the Young Rascals used outside musicians, bringing some important collaborators likeChuck Rainey,Hubert Lawsand David Brigati to augment their sound. Particularly, D.Brigati would also help his brother's band in arrangingvocal harmoniesandsinging backgroundon many Rascals records.

The band, especially Cavaliere, wanted to depart from their "singles act" label to be more like an "albums act", something that would become common to more artists at the late 1960s.[21]The albumOnce Upon a Dream,released at 1968, is an example of this change, because it was the first Rascals album designed from conception as an album, rather than as a vehicle to package their singles (eight ofGroovin''s eleven songs had been released as single A or B sides, most in advance of the album).Once Upon a Dreamalso incorporatedIndian musicin its sound, adding Eastern instruments likesitar,tambouraandtabla.David Brigati also makes a special appearance on the album, singing lead on the title track. The psychedelic "It's Wonderful"was released before the album, but its different style, in comparison with their earlier singles, hindered its sales and the single only reached the #20. The album's song" My Hawaii "became a top of the charts hit in Hawaii.

The band would bill themselves as the Young Rascals for the last time with the single release of "It's Wonderful"; from that point on they were known as simply 'The Rascals'.[2]

Their first official single release as "the Rascals" was the optimistic 1968's "A Beautiful Morning",which reached #3. Internationally, the band was exceptionally popular in Canada where" A Girl Like You "," How Can I Be Sure? "and" A Beautiful Morning "all reached #1. But they struggled in the UK, where they only twice reached the top 75, with" Groovin' "(#8) and" A Girl Like You "(#35).

Time Peace: The Rascals' Greatest Hits,released in mid-1968, topped theU.S. album chartand became the group's best-selling album.

The same year, "People Got to Be Free",a horn-punctuated plea for racial tolerance (the band was known for refusing to tour onsegregatedbills)[22]just months after theassassination of Martin Luther King Jr.and ofRobert F. Kennedy,became their third and final U.S. #1 single,[2]and their sixth and final Canadian #1. It was also their final U.S. Top Ten hit, although they remained a Canadian top 10 act for the next few years.

In 1969, the Rascals released thedouble albumFreedom Suite.An album with oneLPdedicated to "conventional" songs and another toinstrumentals,it should have been the band's definitive change to produce more ambitious albums, according toRichie Unterberger.[23]ButFreedom Suitewould be their last Top 40 album, peaking at #17.

Brigati's songwriting contributions diminished on this album, in favor of Cavaliere's solo compositions, as well his vocals, singing lead only on two songs onFreedom Suite.His participation would decline even more in later albums.

Commercial waning and demise (1969-1972)

[edit]

The follow-ups "A Ray of Hope", "Heaven", "See", and "Carry Me Back" were all modest U.S. hits for the band during late 1968 and 1969; all entered the top 40, but none higher than #24. In Canada, however, the Rascals were still major stars; all these songs went top ten, completing a run of 11 straight Canadian top ten hits for The Rascals from 1967 to 1969. December 1969's "Hold On" broke the run of top 40 US singles for the Rascals, stalling at #51, as well as the run of Canadian top tens, peaking at #22.

Brigati left the group in 1970, followed by Cornish in 1971.[2]Their last Rascals album wasSearch and Nearness(#198 U.S.), which featured Brigati's lead vocals on the Cornish-penned "You Don't Know", a cover ofThe Box Tops' hit "The Letter",and drummer Danelli's composition" Fortunes ". The only single release from the album to chart was the spiritually themed" Glory, Glory "(#58 U.S., #40 Canada), with backing vocals byThe Sweet Inspirations.Search and Nearnesswould be the Rascals' last album for Atlantic Records, with Cavaliere and Danelli taking the band toColumbia Recordsin mid-1971.

Cavaliere shifted towards more jazz- and gospel-influenced writing for the Rascals' next two albums, the double discPeaceful World(U.S. #122) andThe Island Of Real(U.S. #180), usingRobert PopwellandBuzzy Feitenon bass and guitar respectively, and new singers Annie Sutton and Molly Holt.[2]These albums did not sell as well as their earlier work, with none of their associated singles reaching higher than #95 on the U.S. chart. Towards the end of 1970Danny Weisjoined as a replacement for Feiten on guitar. Feiten then again replaced Weis before the group disbanded.

Post break-up

[edit]

Cavaliere released several solo albums during the 1970s.[2]Brigati, with his brother David, releasedLost in the Wildernessin 1976. Cornish and Danelli worked together in Bulldog, who released two albums — one forMCA Recordsin 1973 with the minor hit single "No", the second forBuddahin '74 — andFotomaker,who issued three albums on Atlantic in 1978–79.[2]In 1982, Danelli joinedSteve Van ZandtinLittle Steven and the Disciples of Soulfor the group's first two albums.

After appearing atAtlantic Records 40th AnniversaryCelebration on May 14, 1988, the Rascals reunited (with Cavaliere, Cornish, and Danelli) for a brief reunion tour in 1988.[2]The reunion group featured an expanded lineup that included Mel Owens (in Brigati's place) on vocals and percussion, Steve Mackey on bass, Ed Mattey on guitar, Dena Iverson & Cindy McCabe on backup vocals, and a horn section fromNashvilleto beef up the sound. The reunion did not last beyond the end of the year.

After that, Cavaliere returned to his solo career, and in the 1990s there were two factions touring: The New Rascals (featuring Cornish and Danelli) and Cavaliere, who sometimes called his grouping Felix Cavaliere's Rascals. The New Rascals lasted only a short time but toured again in 2006 with two new members, Bill Pascali (formerly ofVanilla Fudge) on vocals and keyboards andCharlie Souzaon bass and vocals. The New Rascals released a concert DVD, shot at club Centro in New Jersey on Route 35.

The Rascals were inducted into theRock and Roll Hall of Fameon May 6, 1997.Steve Van Zandtgave the induction speech and presented the award. All four original members appeared together to perform "Good Lovin'", "Groovin'", "How Can I Be Sure?", and "People Got to Be Free".[24]

In early 2009, Eddie Brigati put together a project of young musicians who played all the classics. Eddie performed with the group along with his brother David. Called The Boys From The Music House, the band consisted of Anthony Duke Claus, a cousin of Eddie's, on lead vocals and tambourine, Joseph Pomarico on lead guitar, harmonica and background vocals, Adam Sullivan on piano, organ, and background vocals, and Matt Gazzano on drums.

Once Upon a Dreamreunion (2012-2014), later developments, Danelli's death, and another reunion (2014-present)

[edit]

On April 24, 2010, all four members of The Rascals reunited for the Kristen Ann Carr benefit, which was held at New York'sTribeca Grill;Bruce SpringsteenandStevie Van Zandtjoined the band for a closing "Good Lovin'".

The large video screen helped accentuate song themes and also showed interviews with members and re-enactments of the group's history. Left to right, Gene Cornish, Felix Cavaliere, Dino Danelli, Eddie Brigati, and various supporting players and singers.

The group's original lineup reunited in 2012 for their first public performances since 1988 (other than one-off reunions in 1997 and 2010) withThe Rascals: Once Upon a Dream,a combination concert/theatrical event that was produced and directed bySteven Van Zandt[25]andMaureen Van Zandtwith lighting/projection byMarc Brickman.In addition to the concert experience, the history of The Rascals, and the history of the 1960s through their music, the production features a combination of interviews with the four Rascals, filmed scenes of actors enacting key moments in the band's history, news footage, and archival footage of the band. The show originally ran for six performances in December 2012 at theCapitol TheatreinPort Chester, New York.

Fifteen performances of the show were subsequently delivered from April 15 to May 5, 2013, at theRichard Rodgers TheatreonBroadwayin New York City.[26][27]Near the end of the show's Broadway run, it was announced thatOnce Upon a Dreamwould be taken on the road, with performances scheduled in various cities on the East coast of North America for a six-month tour during May–November 2013.[28]

Following its national tour, the show was expected to return to Broadway for a second three-week limited-run from December 2013 through January 2014, at theMarquis Theatre,but was canceled.[29]

Later in 2014, Cavaliere returned to performing as "Felix Cavaliere's Rascals" withThe Lovin' Spoonfulas their opening act. Both Cavaliere's Rascals and the Lovin' Spoonful served as opening acts for a concert byThe Beach Boysin Jones Beach, New York on Long Island on July 5, 2014.[30]

In 2018, Cornish collapsed and sufferedcardiac arrestwhile performing in Billings, Montana. After recovering, in 2020, he published the memoirGood Lovin': My Life as a Rascal.[31]

In October 2022, in an interview with Rock Cellar Magazine, Cornish announced that he would be reuniting with Cavaliere later that month (and into 2023) for the "Time Peace Tour" (though Cornish was unable to perform at the tour's first show).[31]Interviewer Frank Mastropolo expressed his surprise that the two were reuniting again, to which Cornish revealed that the group had never expected to reunite in 2012 and 2013 (after the original lineup first split in 1972). Cornish also revealed that he and Cavaliere wanted theOnce Upon a Dreamreunion to continue in late 2013 and into 2014. Cornish revealed that Danelli "had a lot of demands that we couldn't meet" and "was coming up with excuses," while "Eddie [Brigati] didn't want to do it any more[sic]."[31]With regards to their then-upcoming reunion, Cornish stated that "Dino [Danelli] is incapable of playing drums anymore [and] is in a long-term facility. And Eddie turned us down again."[31]

Danelli died fromcoronary artery diseaseandcongestive heart failureon December 15, 2022, at a rehabilitation facility in Manhattan, after a period of declining health.[32]He was 78.[33][34][35]

In 2023 and 2024, Cavaliere and Cornish have continued to perform together as "The Rascals" (sometimes credited as "The Rascals featuring Felix Cavaliere and Gene Cornish" ).[36][37][38]Their 2024 dates are billed as the "People Got To Be Free Tour 2024;" at least some 2024 dates again feature the Lovin' Spoonful as an opening act, similarly to Cavaliere's tour with them in 2014.[39]
