I knew the Rascals, back when they played on "The Barge" in Westhampton beach on LI.
Rascals' original lineup—Felix Cavaliere, Gene Cornish, Eddie Brigati and Dino Danelli
The club was literally a barge the owners built a club on top of and these guys were regulars there, lived nearby in cabins on the beach and they were always hanging out on the beach in the daytime. I think '65-'70 it was there until it moved to NJ.

They went their separate ways in the early 70's, finally reuniting for one night in May of 1997 when
Steven Van Zandt inducted them into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In 2010 for only the second time in 40 years, The Rascals once again reunited for one night and took to the stage at Robert DeNiro’s Tribeca Grill.
