Their first minor hit was "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore" ( 1965 ), followed by the #1 single "Good Lovin'" ( 1966 , originally by The Olympics ). Soon, the band began to mature as songwriters and released other hit songs written themselves, including "Groovin'" (recorded in 1967 , it's one of their best-known hits), "It's Wonderful", "How Can I Be Sure?" and "Beautiful Morning" ( 1968 ). Their best-remembered song was "People Got to Be Free" ( 1968 ), a passionate plea for racial tolerance; unusually for their time, the Rascals refused to tour on unintegrated bills. After "People Got to Be Free", the Rascals never regained their former fame or had as large a hit, partially because of the loss of Brigati in 1970 , followed by Cornish in 1971 . During this period, they recorded hits as "Carry Me Back" ( 1969 ) and "Glory, Glory" ( 1970 ). They finally disbanded in 1972 . In 1982, Cavaliere and Danelli joined Steve Van Zandt in "Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul", Van Zant's project between his stints with the E Street Band . The (Young) Rascals were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1997. DISCOGRAPHY Albums
