Also did a great cover of the song I Believe. Both found on their albums, but seldom heard performed.

It is too bad the group now tours separately.. I went to a show in Mt. Dora a few years back, 2 of the originals, no Felix...they needed Felix, IMO, badly!
I had the pleasure of seeing the Rascals many times. My favorite song live was always Mickey's Monkey but the recorded version never captured it well.
