It strikes me how great the songs from the 60's were so simple yet very entertaining and happy....here's one I loved and the group was the Rascals aka Young Rascals.....they had lots of hits...Groovin' and Good Lovin' two that come to mind...hope you enjoy it....thanks....have a great day......Bob http://snd.sc/u8VdYx

Robert, Is that you or the Rascals? Honest, I can't tell. If that's you, it's time for your tribute band to hit the road. If it's the Rascals, they sound as good as they ever did in the 60s.

Bob,
Nice to hear you again. This a really nice song and I honestly like your voice better than The Rascal who sang the original (not sure which one sang this one).

That was really good Bob. Your voice matches up to the music well.
Those beautiful "simplistic" melodies can really be pretty complex when you add in all the parts that made those songs great.

I thought it was going to be the opening song from Oklahoma! But this was a pleasant surprise. Thanks for sharing, it is a wonderful tune.

Yeah you did a nice job with this. All you? I know the Rascals very very well. You did a very nice job on the lead vocal although his version is the bomb. BUT--your harmonies are what the original recording should have been. Superb job there and the music. Cheers.
