Music Monday: The Young Rascals and the 1967 song Groovin’
Posted By RichC on March 31, 2025
Occasionally Music Monday shifts back a decade to the 1960s. This week it is to the song “Groovin’,” released in April 1967 by The Young Rascals. It also became a defining anthem for the Summer of Love.
The song was written by Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati and has smooth harmonies, a gentle rhythm and heartfelt lyrics about carefree romance. It went to Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for four weeks. With its Latin-infused beat and iconic harmonica riff, “Groovin'” captured the era’s laid-back spirit and remains a timeless ’60s classic … and it fits my current mood.
