Register For GREI fc-.'-.x “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 greup the RASCALS, a I the ,Ma con Coliseum following the Hornet coming 'flume.
