"Good Lovin'" (1966), The Young Rascals
"In 1967-68, The Rascals were on top of the pop charts. So they decided to use their power to take a stand on Civil Rights. That’s when the problems started."
"Pop Matters" contributor Tony Sclafani chronicles the Civil Rights activism of the 1960s "blue-eyed soul" group The Young Rascals, made up of mostly Italian-Americans from the New York City area, and their struggle to have intergrated shows and audiences.
