The Rascals
Description
[Please note that this podcast episode was revised in my attempt to correctly pronounce Felix Cavaliere's last name. My apologies to Felix for mispronouncing his name in the original podcast!]
Welcome to Rock and Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and in this episode I will highlight the career of the New Jersey band known as The Rascals! In his 1997 speech inducting The Rascals into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Stevie Van Zandt boldly called the Rascals, (and I quote) "the first rock band in the world" (end quote)! Here is how it all started for the Rascals.
All podcasts on the Rock and Roll Flashback Podcast are produced by brothers-in-law Bill Price and "Jumpin' John" McDermott. The Podcast Theme Song, "You Essay", was written by John, and the basic track was recorded by Bill and John on April 1, 2004.
