My Take
Felix Cavaliere is a name I associate with the warm, soulful side of 1960s American pop. As co-lead vocalist and keyboard player for The Young Rascals, he helped shape a sound that still feels alive whenever those records come on. What strikes me is the path: a stint with Joey Dee and the Starliters before the Rascals became his real legacy alongside Eddie Brigati, Dino Danelli and Gene Cornish. Growing up in Pelham, New York, he carried that East Coast energy into blue-eyed soul. To me he's a reminder that the keyboard and a great voice can define an entire era.
