Description
THE YOUNG RASCALS Groovin' hails from 2017 and is a SEALED Mono LP limited edition green vinyl (blackened UPC and slight ding to corner). The Young Rascals' third album, 1967's Groovin', finds them exploring a wide variety of sounds and styles, integrating psychedelic, jazz and Latin influences without sacrificing the unpretentious energy that was the source of the quartet's original appeal. The first Rascals album to be comprised almost entirely of the band members' own songwriting, Groovin' demonstrates the foursome's knack for keeping up with the rapidly changing state of popular music during that culturally volatile period.
Groovin's satisfying blend of pop accessibility and artistic adventurousness encompasses the album's blissful title tune, a #1 pop single that also crossed over to reach #3 on the R&B chart. The album also features three more memorable Rascals hits: the soulful ballads "A Girl Like You" and "How Can I Be Sure," and "You Better Run," which harkens back to the band's garage-rock roots. The quartet's aggressive side is also represented on the fuzz-drenched "Find Somebody," while their Latin influence emerges on the lilting "Sueño," and their reading of "A Place in the Sun" rivals Stevie Wonder's beloved version in its idealistic yearning. The Young Rascals' emerging interest in jazz is prominent on "It's Love," which features renowned jazz flautist Hubert Laws.
