Cornish,Gene & The Unbeatables - Live At Palisades Amusement Park (2022 Remaster) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

It is rare that we have an opportunity to look back at a great artist's roots to find out where he has come from and relate that to where he has gone in his career. In that spirit, we are proud to present the only album ever released by Gene Cornish and The Unbeatables. This very special reissue serves as a snapshot of a very important period in rock history. The boys were just cutting their chops in the face of the British invasion and the influences of the day can be heard throughout. Originally released on the Dawn tag, it was soon discovered that there was another tag of the same name and the group had to change the name of their tag quickly to Fawn Records. Of course, Cornish went on to become a founding member of The Young Rascals (later The Rascals) with Felix Cavaliere, Eddie Brigati and Dino Danelli. Their monumental work was honored with an induction into the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. These special tracks have been preserved and digitally remastered for your listening pleasure. Here's some added history to shed more light on these historic recordings... Gene Cornish is a true rock 'n' roll pioneer. Originally from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Gene moved to New York City from Rochester, NY with his highly skilled interracial 4-piece band, The Unbeatables, who were making a little noise with their novelty single, InchI Wanna Be A BeatIe.Inch If not for The Unbeatables, The Young Rascals may have never existed. In Gene's own words InchI came to New York with my group The Unbeatables and we played The Peppermint Lounge, which was a club that Joey (of Joey Dee & The Starliters) made famous three years earlier. When his band broke up, Joey was putting another band together and my group had broken up. But I wasn't going back to upstate New York. And he offered me a job with his comeback band. It didn't have any of the original members. Felix (Felix Cavaliere
