Today’s song was a staple of our neighborhood air group. Energetic, enthusiastic, and easy to learn – important for nine-year-old air musicians – we loved getting up on our chairs in a basement with our air-guitars and air-mics, beating our air-drums, and performing “Good Lovin’.” I struggled with the group’s name; I always wanted to call them the Little Rascals, but that was a different group.
Here’s the Young Rascal’s recording of “Good Lovin’,” from nineteen sixty-five. Wow, fifty-two years ago. It aged well, don’t you think?

I don’t often admit it, but I LOVED this blue-eyed soul group. A lot of people thought they were black and were more than surprised to find out that they were Italian. As they endured, they became more sophisticated musically, eventually taking some of us into jazz.

Another wonderful song, and terrific medley. Sounds great, doesn’t he?
