60's & 70's were the BEST! Who's with me?

[mddell]

~~~ I'm a 60ish year old woman, THIS is my favorite song by The Young Rascals.
Such a better time in our 🌎 world. ❤

[mistery-ed]

One of the greatest summer songs ever!!

[almccallie]

How fortunate we are, those of us who grew up in this era of music…

[andylawson]

None of that lip-syncing stuff for these guys! This was a REAL band and they would do these TV shows and play live, not always the case back then. Best American band of the sixties and one of the greatest drummers ever in Dino Danelli! Rest in peace Dino. You are missed and respected.

The screams coming from the young people in the audience let’s you know how cool it was and remains to this day!,

[jaime]

Blue eyed soul from New Jersey, fantastic musicians.

[celinehermosilo]

My Dad singing this to my Mom while dancing together on the patio in the summertime. I’ll sit there every day to hear it again ❤

[legendarymcdinis]

Seldom if ever you will see 4 more multi talented singers/musicians/performers. Gene Cornish and Eddie Brigatti are both criminally underrated.

[Maclaren]

You know, you really had to be a kid growing up then to really appreciate how cool this song was.

[markjulianoriginalhooli]

Damn I want to go home back to my music my people my time maybe that's what heaven will be

[TheCoreyLight]

That Blue-Eyed Soul sound always brings that peace to your heart!

[moddie]

This song was played every Saturday on a very popular R&B station during my entire childhood back in the 70's and into young adulthood in the 80's.

[Sincopare]

The quality of pop music in the 60s is unsurpassed

[luispadilla]

These guys in my opinion didn't get enough publicity. Great hits and where are these type of songs gone. Alot better than the crap of today. Luis

[bennyadler]

Very underrated Gene Cornish leading the show from get go until Felix gets rolling. Magnificent.

[luispadilla]

Just the way music was intended. These guys were terrific. The music of today just can't compete with the music of yesteryear.

[kevinkilduff]

Gorgeous song and a not easy to do live, but the Rascals, one of the best bands of the 60s, nail it!

[MostlyBrenda]

Brigati, Cornish, Danelli and Cavaliere are all still alive and have occasionally reunited. Almost all 60s groups have "replacement" members if they are still around at all.

I watched this Live on Sullivan, watched his show every Sunday night. I was 15
