About this product
Simultaneously elevated and bypassed by the artistically prolific year in which it was released, the Young Rascals' Groovin' remains the high-water mark of a collective Rolling Stone boldly proclaimed 'the blackest white group of all' in 1970. Home to three Top 10 singles and a diverse array of pop music in step with the era's exploratory creativity, the set belongs alongside the Beatles' Sgt. Peppers' Lonely Hearts Club Band, Love's Forever Changes, Jefferson Airplane's Surrealistic Pillow, and 1967's other pioneering recordings. Look no further than 'A Girl Like You,' commandeered by confident singing and skated along by peppy jazz-rock architecture marked by exuberant horns, lilting piano lines, and splashing rhythms. Or 'How Can I Be Sure,' on which Eddie Brigati takes the vocal lead over a waltzing pattern that conveys hopefulness, rumination, and the rollercoaster ups/downs that accompany the initial stages of a relationship.Mastered from the original monaural master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM mono 2LP set (limited to 5,000 numbered copies) captures the deep-seated personality and effortless melodies that seemingly occupy every passage. Reflecting the playfulness of the cover art, the members demonstrate a cohesiveness, chemistry, and charm made apparent via the newly uncovered detail, airiness, and tonalities. The painstakingly produced restoration also includes 'A Beautiful Morning,' a million-selling hit that reached the third spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1968 and debuted as the first under the band's then-newly truncated Rascals name. Blue-eyed soul and innocuous optimism have rarely sounded more contagious than on this audiophile-grade reissue. Album Tracks 1. 1. a Girl Like You 2. 2. Find Somebody 3. 1. I'm So Happy Now 4. 2.

![Panama Francis - Panama Francis and The Savoy Sultans: 75th Birthday Concert - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6bc4044e-cc67-4209-a49b-b43a70831bf4.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Toward the end of his life, veteran drum legend Panama Francis led a InchrebootInch of the by then extinct Inchlittle Big BandInch named the Savoy Sultans. Originally led by Al Cooper, the Savoy Sultans were known for kicking butt at the Savoy Ballroom in New York City, even when set against larger musical aggregations. The dancers and listeners alike loved them for their plaintive, hard-driving rhythmic style, so urgently riff-heavy, they might swing you into bad health! Jazz promoter George Wein helped Panama Francis take up the task of recreating the great sound of this classic American band in the 1980s, but Francis kept on keeping the band afloat, even after a long tenure at the Rainbow Room. These recordings from 1993 are an example of a live performance by the band in New York City, and features a mixture of young generals and swing legends alike. This concert/dance celebrates Francis' seventy-fifth birthday (his actual birthday was on the 26th). Featured are Brian InchLordInch Sledge, Joey InchG-ClefInch Cavaseno, Irvin Stokes, Harry Allen, Lawrence Lucie, Julia Steele, Leonard Gaskin, and others. Album Tracks 1.
