Felix Cavaliere, who became famous for his distinctive rock and “blue-eyed” soul sound, was a member of Joey Dee and The Starliters who gave us “Peppermint Twist”. He went on to form The Young Rascals, who later became The Rascals. Felix sang lead on most of the tracks and co-wrote their biggest hit, “People Got to Be Free” with Eddie Brigati, which topped the charts for five weeks. An accomplished musician, Felix studied piano and discovered the Hammond organ, which became his “trademark sound” along with his one-of-a-kind voice. Cavaliere’s distinguished career as a solo artist is marked by the hit “Only A Lonely Heart Sees” which made number 36 in the Billboard Pop 100 chart, and he has released six albums including the 2010 Midnight Flyer.
