Felix Cavalieri (?) had such a special voice. It’s like it’s bursting with joy.

I miss happy, good-time, feelin'-happy music.
I can't stand the dirges of today.

It was the 60, s and songs like this were groovy :)

[sdnlawrence]

I was 9 when this was on The Ed Sullivan show I remember watching it I love this song . MY BROTHER has the LP

[aiforlearning]

It's amazing that Sullivan had the power to force musical acts to shorten their songs. The recorded version of Groovin' is almost a minute longer.

Great tune. Great time in the history of television and popular music in the USA and wherever Ed Sullivan show aired globally throughout the decades. These videos are priceless to me. Thank you.

My Mom's favorite song. I remember when she ran to the mall and bought the 45 I was like 8 or 9?... I miss her so much😪

[VideoMusicManiacPlace]

Our generation made this. I'm groovin' right now.

Wow, my favorite high school years music!

This song takes me back to my childhood growing up in the mid 60's & 70's. On a Sunday the blue laws existed. My mom would make a big Sunday lunch. After lunch my dad would take us fishing. We would go to this big pond on a beautifully privately owned property. We would just sit there with our fishing rods in the water waiting for the fish to bite. The sun shining, the beautiful summer breeze blowing, our little transistor radio playing... and we were "Groovin' "on a Sunday afternoon!
Those were the days! I would love to go to that big pond with my dad fishing, that little transistor radio playing... just "Groovin' "on a Sunday afternoon like we once did.
Thank you for the memories... makes me wanna go "Groovin' "on a Sunday afternoon!
Happy Sunday... thank you for sharing! 💖

I was 16 and played the drums when I first saw Dino and the Rascals. I had other friends that played the drums in bands at the time and when we saw Dino with sticks flashing everywhere we knew right away we wanted to copy his style, but that was easier said than done. He was not only a great drummer but a great showman like his teacher Gene Krupa. He had those pink champagne Ludwig's with the 24" bass drum and he sat real low. I final got my prink champagne Ludwigs and sat real low but soon found out it wasn't as easy as Dino made it look. R.I.P Dino!

Thank you screaming girls! I hope you had a great time!

They performed a full version of Groovin' on an earlier appearance. Be nice to see that version.

[thomasmaxwellshore]

No drums or guitar just pure vibes god bless Dino Danelli RIP

[recordguy]

How could they chop this great song in half, I've got this on tape and its already on you tube with the complete version. PITIFUL

[lonestarfriend]

Great to hear this performed live, especially the harmonica. And I did see the wink 😉around 0:58 🙂

[bennyadler]

Gene and Eddie killing it on backgrounds, Dino a whole other level of greatness defined.
