Felix Cavaliere / Eddie Brigati

Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati shared both lead vocal and songwriting duties for the 1960s hitmakers the Rascals. Because of the duo’s latter responsibilities, their group scored such classic chart entries as “How Can I Be Sure,” “Groovin’” and “People Got to Be Free.” These hits were marked by such a distinctive mix of r&b and rock, romance and social consciousness, that in 1997 the Rascals were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Key songs in the Cavaliere/Brigati catalog include “Beautiful Morning,” “Groovin’,” “How Can I Be Sure,” “I’ve Been Lonely Too Long” and “People Got To Be Free.”
