“The New York Sound” of the
Rascals will be heard in Concert
at the Macon Coliseum. January
18, ufter Mercer’s Homecoming
Game with Georgia Tech
The Rascals will be arriving with
“The New York Sound"—a sound
they created, compose, and deliver
themselves, a sound that’s the sole
property and true soul of Dino
Danelli on drums, Felix Cavaiere
on organ. Gene Cornish on guitar,
and Eddie Bgigati, lead singing and
percussion.
Together they've been making
one record-breaking appearance
after another: like selling out' in
Hawaii within seven hours . . like
the greatest hit of the ’68 and '67
Central Park Music Festivals . . .
like the headliners of Dick Clftrk’s
’Where the Action Is" Tour . , .
like turning away Crowds at NYC’s
Phone Booth, Steve Paul’s Scene,
Hollywood's Whiskey A-Go Go . . .
like performing |n Madison Square
Garden before 16,000 . .. . It’s their
scene everywhere . . wild and
fan-feverish! '
The story of THE RASCALS’
beginning is crazy, clipped and
slap stick like a Keystone Hop
Chase Scene. Picture THE RAS
CALS before the whirlwind—-two
in New Jersey, two in New York,
playing gigs in separate parts of
the city—and then—POW" some-
fate how meeting and linking forc
es in 1965 . . . Gene just having
left his own group to join this new
and exciting formation; Dino, spd-.
denly, a RASCAL ufter playing
drums with every great jazz star
that ever was; Felix, coming from
a pre-med course at Syracuse and
a stint as organist for “Sandu
Scott and Her Scotties ’; and Ed
die, jumping and skating in after
working as a percussionist with
Joey Dee’s band. SHAZAMIU
There they .were!) Working and
playing together like they had
worked and played together all
their lives, creating -o n e great
sound after another; "Good Lov
in'',. "You Better Run”, “A Girl
Like You”, “1 Ain’t Gonna Hal
Out My Heart Anymore", "How
Can 1 Be Sure ' "It s Wonderful"
and "A Beautiful. Morning". Plus
five smash alliums—"The Young
Rascals ", (on the trade charts for
almost two years'), "Collections’,
"Groovin’’, "Onie Upon A Dream”,
and "The Best s,t the Rascals".
"Groovin'' as a single was-voted the
top record of 1.967 in the national
polls—and earned l'HK RAS
CALS n Gold Record' Their latest.,
“People Got Be Fret-' , is . soaring
iqi every chart there is.
The RASCALS first real gig was
at the Cjioo Choo Club in Eddie’s
. . . that was the time they learned
25.songs in 25 hours-. , . and then
it was running, fun-flying,- sailing
times—things- couldn't jitofi hap
pening' Come see this fantastic
