This one was always a favourite at the High School parties for me and my friends, although the song was already an oldie-goldie by then. It was released by The Young Rascals in 1967 and written by Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati. Although Atlantic Records was doubtful of releasing «Groovin‘» because it was so different than the band’s earlier songs, the song reached number one on Billboard’s Hot 100 and reached number eight in the UK…
There have been several good cover versions of «Groovin’» beginning with one by Booker T. & the M.G.’s that reached number 21 on Billboard Hot 100. War (1985) and Pato Banton (1996) also had success with their versions. The original Young Rascals version listed among the 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list and has been awarded a Grammy Hall of Fame Award.
I loved and still love this soulful-latin sounding song with its bird sounds and smooth feel. What about you?
