All these wonderful comments here, say one thing, in their own unique way, that it was a 'blessing'....a true blessing....to have been a part of that era. There was such a style and class in the pop music of that time. Looking back, our lives were so enriched, even.... "in a world that's constantly changing". Forever young!
I'm 75 and was blessed to be witness to the beautiful era of great music. Back then you could have a radio on all day and not hear a song you didn't like 👍😎😊
Today's pop music P.U. 😊 I feel in love with rascal music in the 60s still love them. Beautiful talented boys no one like them around thus day and age.❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember a while ago when my parents were still around, my sister tina and I were visiting them, and I was listening to this song and tina asked me why I was crying 😢, I just told her that I was listening to a sad 😔 song, but i was was crying because i grew up in the 1960s and hearing how can I be sure brought back some really wonderful and sweet memories ❤, and now that my parents are with the lord I'm crying 😢 a lot ❤, thank you so very much for posting and God bless you
The Rascals are still on the road in 2024 with two of the original members, including Felix Cavellieri, who co-wrote this tune. Had the pleasure of seeing them a few years ago. They sounded great. Memories.❤️
Yes !!!! This man had a Great, well-rounded, voice with perfect sense of vibrato....Some think vibrato is like a machine gun, etc., and ruin their music... Stevie Nicks is one of those people, unfortunately...
His older brother Dave sang with Joey Dee and the Starlighters. You can hear him singing background harmony on The Peppermint Twist. They sound almost exactly alike!
Happy 78th Birthday (10/22/45) to Eddie! I'm 65, was "ridiculed" by my classmates for liking this song & the Rascals...too "corny"...I said to my friends, well then you're corny too because this band is from Bergen County, NJ...maybe you oughta move out...damn near got in a fistfight. If I recall, Eddie sang lead on their 1st hit...ain't gonna eat out my heart anymore...another classic...to hell with my "friends"
OMG 😲 I just made a comment about thinking the dancers were "corny" when I was a kid,and then seen your comment using the same "70s" word! Too funny! Great minds think alike. Lol
If you liked Eddie's singing, you should have heard him with his brother David. Together they later formed "Brigati" and issued a terrific but under-rated album called "Bambu". Foolishly I loaned it out and have never been able to track it down since.
Me too! I grew up hearing this song, but didn’t appreciate this guy’s voice the way I do now seeing this video. He is amazing! Live or lip-synch or a combination - there seems to be a debate about that here in the comments - any which way, he is amazing!
@@Daisnap I always liked the Rascals and always appreciated Eddie's singing chops, he really shines on the earlier Young Rascals albums. Lip sync or combination? I'll go with combination but one thing is sure about this performance, there wasn't any orchestra and there was a reason why so much of the video is focused on the dancers.
@@geneobrien8907 Ah, interesting about lack of orchestra and emphasis on the dancers. So funny how I took great music for granted back in the day. I became used to high caliber vocals in fantastic pop songs. Like Shadow Morton's "Remember - (Walkin' in the Sand)" performed by the Shangri-Las or anything Dusty Springfield did. So many others. I'm adding Eddie to my favorites list! I just discovered Frankie Ford's rendition of "Gone" 1957 - OMG! And the Righteous Brother who does that jaw-dropping "Unchained Melody" True musical treasures. Lucky us.
really big shew. when you're 4 years old and your mom is glued to this stuff, you think it's world news. this song and the band was good enough. they didn't have to hire dancers and pretty girls in the audience. if the beatles were on, i really believed those girls were dying.
What a beautiful voice! So free and ethereal as opposed to the over produced rubbish we have today! They used to be able to sing and write amazing music back then!
I love at the end of the song the way Eddie smiles and makes his triumphant gesture to the heavens. Eddie knew that he nailed it, and so did the audience.
I feel some how sad just to watch everyone from the audience, the group and specially the dancers so beautiful full of life ...who knows how many of them all are still alive and who's gone to eternity 😢
They may have watched old silent movies back then and had similar thoughts about those performers. Many years from now someone may read our comments in this video and think the same of us. Our lives on earth are just a pit stop on our way to something greater. There's no sadness with faith.
Me too. I just sang along, knowing each word. I remember I was in Grammer school and I bought one of the teen magazines, I think it was Tiger beat, and they had all the words to this song. 💓💞💕
This was a ballad, rather than a rocker like the Beatles or the Stones, nor was it 1967 psychedelia. Hence, you have to hand it to the Sullivan show producers for presenting it with the dancers, and making it prime time entertainment.
@@cirrus1964Say What?? The Rascals had two of the best--period. Felix Cavaliere was one of the best---Frank Valli was in there too. There weren't many even close.
I am glad you are safe, thank you so much for serving.... I was in Basic Training for the USAF at Lackland AFB,, San Antonio, Texas at the same time.... I sure Loved all the great music going on back then... This group, The Rascals, and this song = Oh Wow.... Today, April, 2024 = Still Oh Wow !!!!! Just so perfect and beautifully played by these amazing musicians... I never had to to "Nam, but many friends did and it did not go good for them.... The Cold War was also going on, and the Entire USA had Every Air Force Base, Station, even many civilian airports converted to Air Force Radar Sites, so we could track every inch of the sky above America 24/7, to keep the Ruski's missiles at bay....
My favorite song by The Young Rascals/Rascals. I wish Eddie had been allowed to sing lead on more songs. Eddie and Felix are credited as writers but I think Eddie’s brother also contributed to the song. I was only four when I first heard it way back in 1967 but it still gives me chills these 56 years later. JC has it really been 56 years??? Say it ain’t so!!
@@buddyvilla7393Yes, David Cassidy's version peaked at no. 1 in the UK charts in 1972 and stayed there for two weeks. In 1970, Dusty Springfield's version was released but only scraped into the Top 40.

What a beautiful song and and a beautiful Era. We are so gifted that all these recordings are preserved. Some thing when i watch Hawaii 50 and the old cars, etc.
Thanks for showing my favorite Young Rascals song, I like the way video was choreographed , also. The first image of the girls in the audience was a child watching this video today is "Grandma is that you?" Where has the time gone?? Oh well.....:)! Have a nice day!
@shyman99 my wife knew about it from years before, having seen it on a rerun on TV before I knew her. Her mom had already passed on by that point, though.
@@TopshelfTom I am glad your wife was able to find the rerun after her mother passed, but she has her mom as a youthful teenager watching one of her favorite bands on TV no less. Have a nice day!
When you saw a performance on the Ed Sullivan show you knew it was a great performance, he was very strict about how the show was to go, he was very conservative, his show was very family oriented and he had top performers. His show was number one until he passed away.
Elvis Presely, The Beatles, The Stones, The Rascals, The Doors, the list goes on & on, all on Ed Sullivan every Sunday night. It wqaas either NBC"s wonderful world of color, or Ed Sullivan..... Sullivan won out in my house, but then again we didnt have a color TV.
@@pjreynoldsa1 he actually banned The Doors from ever being on the show again, Ed asked Jim to change one of the lyrics and Jim said ok, but when they started the song, they kept the original lyrics, the song was Light My Fire, and the lyrics were girl we could get much higher, which most people of the time thought it was in reference to drugs.
I might be wrong(as I often am yuk,yuk,yuk!),but I believe those are some of the same dancers I've seen on other shows like Andy Williams,Dean Martin(not the Goldiggers),etc.
Love watching the Ed Sullivan performances because he did not allow lip syncing. These are all truly live performances and they're typically excellent.
I can't think of any other Rascals' songs that feature Eddie Brigati on lead vocal. Delicate but powerful. The closest comparison stylistically to any other performer would be, to me, "Little Anthony" (Gourdine).
"I Ain't gonna eat out my heart anymore" features Eddie on lead vocals. It was their first single. They didn't write it but it is their best song in my opinion
Nothing but the classics. That was The Ed Sullivan Show. This song has truly stood the test of time. The Young Rascals had so many great songs. The 60's-70's era when the music was sooooo goooood and real.
Felix Cavaliere was a friend of my dad back in daddy's drummer days. So daddy, mama, and me when I was in my baby carrier, would go watch them perform in Atlantic City at the Jersey Shore on the boardwalk.
Such talent! Beautiful voice xx
Couldn't "Cranky" Ed provide a piano instead of Felix appearing with his B-3?

It has always been one of my favorites, and has been on my playlist ever since I've had one of those ( chortle ).
After such a LONG time I didn't realize how good this singer is. What a great voice he has.
He really did. But Felix sang more of the hits because he had an R&B voice, whereas Eddie had a Broadway voice.
I had thought Felix (the keyboard player) sang all their songs, including this.
@@johnsilva9139same here, couldn’t tell the difference until I watched the live performances
His older brother Dave sang with Joey Dee and the Starlighters. You can hear him singing background harmony on The Peppermint Twist. They sound almost exactly alike!
I always thought Eddie's voice was more natural and emotive. Felix also has a great sound, but Eddie's is better IMO
Not only musically talented but were pure humans, they wouldn't go on tour unless it was an integrated tour.

One of the most prevalent and powerful sounds around in the mid 60s, The Rascals were great!

My favorite song by The Rascals. Eddie's voice is uplifting. Can't stop listening to Eddie.
