Everyone was real back then. No million dollar plastic surgery face and body, most could really sing no auto tune. I can hardly stand the music of today, I use the word “music” loosely. I know this isn’t 80’s, but that’s the decade I grew up in and man do I miss those days. We were innocent growing up. Nobody is innocent anymore. The internet has taken so much from us.
Truth INDEED AMEN
Music is melodic .The sounds we hear today is noisome pestilences 🙉😱.
The internet technology has stolen the innocence and privacy the beauty of growing up
😂
@@appolloniacorleone8510 I totally agree with you on that!
I am 65.I was playing this song and the spirit of peace and comfort came over me as I slept, then my Aunt appeared in the dream and she put in my hand a peace of mind and gave me a big hug. Wow!❤HOW can I be sure in a world that's constantly changing ❤ I now know everything is gonna be alright🙏🏿
I was playing David Cassidy version but hay ho I've just found this one
I met Felix backstage at one of his great shows while I was fighting Cancer. Felix gave me strength and here I am after 4 years I'm cancer free! God is Great! Thank you Felix
Their mission went beyond just singing in a group. You're proof.
God is truly GREAT! May Our Lord Jesus continue to bless and uphold you!
poor kids today missed out on a magic era.
AMEN!!!!❤
One of the most beautiful pop songs of all time.
David Cassidy did an excellent cover, too. Rascal's version stands supreme!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Agreed 💯❤️
Definately!
Amen
I've heard this song a thousand times in my lifetime. It never fails to give me goosebumps when he sings " Whenever Aaaaaaaay...🎵" to this day. Eddie Brigati. One of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. At the end when he realizes he's finished, his boyish smile and expression so precious. Rest in Peace, dearest Dino⚘️
I totally agree w/U about Eddie. The part that gets me is when he sings "I love U, I love U forever". OMG, U can really feel the passion! And yes, luv his look @ the end of the video. Aloha from a 4ever Rascal fan. Will miss Dino. RIP, sweet Dinoooo.
People bumbs going on and we're just chatting about it..❤️
as a fan of this song ...well put, i love this song and i still know all the words (though my mind ramps up the volumn 😁) yes a very sound clear voice on Eddie
I used to think Eddie and Felix were brothers...they kinda look and sound alike 😊
Eddie's voice was perfection in this song.
RIP Dino Danelli (July 23, 1944 - December 15, 2022), age 78
You will be remembered as a legend.
Dino sadly you have been gone for a year..... your fans still miss and love you.
One of the greatest songs sung so passionately by Eddie & written so beautifully by Felix & Eddie. With their many hits, that's why they're in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Rascal fan 4ever!
Definitely one of the greatest song ever always listening to it
I was in a little town called Titusville Florida going to HS when this song came out, falling in love with a girl named Linda. She came to hear a band I was helping one night and fell in love with our Rhythm Guitar player. She didn't have to tell me, it was obvious. They ended up getting married and are still together to this day. I still have a soft spot in my heart for her.
The underrated rascal Eddie has a beautiful voice
Eddie Brigati at his finest!
Out of all the great songs in that era, the Rascals have some of the most memorable songs. This one stands out big time!
I was in elementary school when this song hit the charts. It sure brings back fond memories. Great music like this just isn't recorded anymore.
Me too my last year of it 6th grade. This song always reminds me of a young lady who was my girlfriend and sadly she lost her life caught in a crossfire of a police shootout in south Florida where she moved after leaving Texas. RIP Brenda this song always reminds me of you and that time in 67/68.
I was in 4th grade when I heard it. I come from a huge family of generations of musicians and learned all venues of music, but this song is a classic. I love it!!!! Always have…..😉
me too
Me 3.
Looks like we were all in the same age group when this song came out. The Rascals made a big impact in this era of great music.
Omg Sacrébleu! Seriously? I’m today yrs old, realising it’s The Rascals that sang this 😍! I love this song, so much innocence and emotion in their effortless words! It moves my heart in a special way 😔♥️🎶
One of the best vocals of all time. The joy on Eddie's face at the end of the video is captivating and priceless.
Eddie was my cousin we grew up in Garfield New Jersey used to watch the rascals practice in a garage imagine what a time when they became so big 😮
This song started playing in my head, when I heard the their drummer Dino passed away, today. 😢
Listen up rap and hip hop lovers. This is art, this is music.
Ah, my high school years were accompanied by all this fabulous music.
they had so many beautiful songs, this is one them if not the best!!!
I was 5 years old when I heard this song.. I’m 62 years old beautiful music and era
3 years old
This great song is part of the tradition of pop music- 50's, 60's, 70'- that can't be beat to this day. The pop music of today doesn't even come close. The melodies, lyrics, and great performers (groups and solo artists) of that era remain incomparable. I was right in the middle of it all, and looking back, I'm very grateful.
my mom's favorite band The Rascals who I took her to see in 2004 she loved it she passed away in March of 2018 thanks Mom for all the great Tunes you turn me on too
Sorry for the loss of your mom, may she rest in ever loving peace.
j.denino57 thank you so much for your very kind words God bless
When I was 13 years old in 1967 the Rascals was the very first album I bought with money I had to earn. Still love their sound
This song is so beautiful, so timeless. I will never understand why this wasn't an even bigger hit than it was. 😉
So beautiful. I met Dino 2:55 as a kid. Lots of years later I saw both Felix and Eddie at a Charity event at the Hospital . I spoke to Eddie and told him I was a long time fan
This was one of their best song I ever heard.
Eddie is magnificent, absolutely beautiful masterpiece, solid gold standard of excellence, one of the best songs of all time, top of the line A+ rating, 100% Italian, I love the accordion playing, it reminds me of my dear father who was a master accordionist
That accordion makes me feel like I'm in Parisienne France. And back in high school...
Agree completely.
absolutly. The acordion player is really terrific. I always thank that they were italians.
I'm Italian too but I always am reminded of Paris when hearing the accordion
I checked bands members from 60’s and 70’s you don’t imagine the quantity of Italians American and this song is exquisite!
Eddie Brigati still has an amazing voice. It has actually gotten better with time.
I am so grateful for the music I got to grow with. I just didn't realize we were actually at the peak of creative expression.
What a beautiful song! It was my favorite from The Rescals and held up beautifully with time.
I'm always in the mood for a waltz!
I was about 10 years old when my NY teenage cousins introduced me to this song.
Eddie and Felix wrote this with that in mind.
He is immortal and still has that voice.
This song will always reflect the beauty that it was written and be loved.
Beautiful music, beautiful voice!! Thank you for sharing!👍👏👏👏👏🎶
Fantastic performance from a fantastic band. Melody is spectacular and the lyrics are incredible.
Memories come back instantly!
Even at six years old, I knew this was a great song
Love the Rascals..brought back sweet memories ❤️🙏🏻
This is a beautiful song, it has so much memories of my Junior High School days
I first heard "How Can I Be Sure?" when I was a small boy in the blue collar town of Manville NJ.
I was touched by the song even at that age. I was able to feel the angst and uncertainty turn to hope and then to trust and affirmation.
I could feel it.
The meaningful lyrics, heavenly melody and passionate performance is why this song left a lifelong impression on a 4 years old boy.
Luv Ur comments!
I was down the road in Bridgewater, 10 years old when this came out. Thought it was the most beautiful song and voice I’d ever heard. It never gets old.
I suppose I'll love this song for the rest of my days. It speaks to so many things, both personally and culturally. Yes, so many lifetimes ago.
My folks come to mind. They were in their early 30's and I was two. Dad played all these 60's greats then into the 1970's and now his collection of albums belong to me and it's a warming feeling to be able to listen to them. This song is a silky classic....smooth.
Yes:Thank u David and Eddie! Our Amazing American History and just hometown beautiful souls! 🙏❤️❤️🤞☮️
Such a sweet voice.
Eddie has golden vocal chords and what a range.
Beautiful voice. 😍
Great Voice ! 🙏❤️☮️
I was 5 years old in 1967 I can remember the late 60s music and 70s not like it is now .. I wish I could have been 17 years old in that time
My favorite song from the The Young Rascals/ Rascals. It still gives me chills 56 years later. I was only 4 when I first heard it riding in our single Mom Carol s Ford Falcon. Eddie and Felix are credited as co- writers but Eddie s brother David also contributed to the song. I wish Eddie had been allowed to sing lead on more songs. What a beautiful voice!!! Such a heartbreaking beautiful and hauntingly beautiful song!!!! Lastly RIP Dino Although I never met you when you passed away I felt like I lost a really great friend/ amigo. Someone I had known since all the way back in 1967.
great song. Lovely voice - one of the finest 60's voices.
A Beautiful Morning, 2:32 in length
Groovin', 2:30 in length
How Can I Be Sure, 2:50 in length
3 absolute masterpieces, under 3 minutes in length each. Unbelievable!
That song is far too short. I remember when this hit the AM airwaves, WOW, what a great time in my life.
Such soulful vocals. I always thought this was a Black group. Good on you Eddie.
A very special time. This song transcends all those decades. It was and is so real.🎉❤
This song in my top 5 ever. Just beautiful.
Such a Beautiful Song💓 timeless
Many say the greatest rock love song ever written
The memories. Thank you so much
1966 & 1967, the years of The Young Rascals & Chris Montez.
Yes, such a beautiful classic that stands out even today. This song did not get its due at the time. 1967 had such diverse music all over the charts. It covered all the venues. I recall AM stations at the end of that year playing down the top 100 of 1967. I think if this song came out 5 years earlier or 5 years later it would have received much more acclaim.
such a great love song back in my childhood doesnt get better
My first concert in 68 was The Young Rascals and Chicago. It was fantastic.
Man does that bring back memories!!! What a great time to be alive 😎
I was going thru a high school romance and i do not know how many times i pkayed this hoping. Great group
I like it at the end of the song Eddie has this big beautiful smile. 🥰
When living was life and the purpose of life was enjoying living. I fear that ship has sailed. They remain locked in my memory and those memories are not for sale.
Wow, me & my cat enjoyed watching & listening to this musical "oldies but goodies" song & it always keeps my cat's ears up like an owl 🦉LOL. Awesome! 😀😸
Beautiful song and arrangement with its accordion and horn parts. Unusual in that it is a Waltz (written in 3/4 time).
Still relevant in this Day & Age !!
50 years always pictured Felix singing this ........ wow. Blew my mind.
I`m too young to remember this version but adored the 1973 David Cassidy one,it was a huge hit in England at Number 1 on the charts for nearly a month.
What a voice! Wow!
This is so unbelievably wonderful 💜🧡
My home state of Jersey had some great singers back in day! The Rascals being one of them!
Yep, Bruce Springsteen, Frank Sinatra, Jon Bon Jovi, The Rascals, Frankie Valli, Whitney Houston and even David Cassidy grew up in NJ before he moved to CA as a young teenager. Did I leave anyone out??
Connie Francis comes to mind.
fuck you and new jersey
@@carlcrow5990 Be nice.
Rick Nelson from NJ
This song made me fly ❤❤❤
Beautiful Beautiful SONG
I was all of 4 years old when this song came out but once I became old enough to appreciate music this is probably one of my top 100 songs. Such a well crafted song and great melody
I agree. It's an amazing pop song.
❤whenever I hear this my heart skips a beat~~
What a voice!
Beautiful 👏
So much talent in this group. This song couldn't miss in 1967.
Is it over yet?
Eddie, you killed it man....for years I thought lil Anthony sung that song, it is beautifully expressed in highest form of Life...though music. FELIX, EDDIE and that organ, so much Talent that changed American history. #therascals😃😮😆
What a song! What a singer! What a concertina!
David wrote this..w :a couple of lines from Felix. But David wrote this so u all learn about our beautiful history!!! And Eddie? Thanks for the fabric of my life! I know these kids: and they are lovely and beautiful and just down to earth. I only write this because I want our beautiful musical history to never be forgotten…
Great music still listen50 years later
I love this song
Great track, takes me way back.
A classic.
Such talent
Just a wonderful time capsule of a great love song.
David wrote this! Most of it! Give it up to David!!! Great tune! Great lyrics! Yup! Lets give a bunch of credit to David ! Great guys!
Yes, he did, as Eddie had a hard time finishing it, so David helped him out.
Great song I saw them perform live what a great band!!
One song that I have an addiction to. Love the covers too..
Love this song
best music ever
This was a very commercial style of music that was just so so and compared to today's style of music this stands alone as a great song and how to present classic music.
I met Felix one night at The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. He was one of the funniest guys ever. Great guy, great talent!
Apparently he wrote that about a young lady he was mad about but didn't see a future..
Love this!
I've given up trying to analyse what makes this so beautiful and special. Lots of things, I suppose - Eddie's perfect soul, the ravishing arrangement, the powerhouse that was the Briggati / Cavaliere songwriting union or the impossibly lovely melody. I have heard this dozens of times and each time it's a wonderful moment.
2019
Yeah I've been thinking about that. I was 15 when this song first showed up. Reflecting back, I think this song captures perfectly, the blend of passion and innocence of the time. It was a product of that time. Perhaps what makes it a thousand times more haunting now, is the fact that it brings back something so powerful that isn't around so much these days. But the song can snap me back to the summer of 1967, close my eyes and revisit the power of that age, the youth, the mystery, the wonder and the magic. There is nothing sarcastic or world-weary in this song, nothing confrontational, political, hard or harsh. Instead, it is a sweet message that owns a completely different kind of strength.When Eddie sings the song - it kinda sings him, too. That's a real special thing.
It's the MELODY that gets stuck in you're head.
Modern music Seriously lacks in Melody when writing. Melody!!!!
@@burleybater it sings to him because it's his prophecy.
@@heartofgoldfilmandtheatre Sure is. Because at the age of 15, that song predicted to me that the very next year at the age of 16, it would all come true in my life.
Oh my gosh, after all this time, I never understood that the dancers were more important than the Rascals. When I next hear this beautiful song on the radio, I’ll think only of them. I turned 18 in 1967.
