The Rascals

[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. We welcome your feedback, so please feel free to click on this link and let us know your thoughts and/or suggestions via phone text!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.  It was initially recorded by Bill and John on April 1, 2004 with several revisions since then. Multiple promo videos and photos for Rock and Roll Flashback Podcasts are available on the following social media sites:https://www.youtube.com/@RockandRollFlashbackhttps://www.facebook.com/rockandrollflashbackpodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/jumpinjohnmcdermott/Bill and John welcome your feedback and comments, and they can be emailed to [email protected] you for listening to Rock and Roll Flashback Podcasts!Until next time...Rock On!
