''Groovin is the third album by rock band The Young Rascals. The album was released on July 31, 1967 and rose to #5 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and number 7 on the R&B chart. Eight of the songs were released on singles with the title track reaching number 1 on the Pop chart in the U.S. ==History== This was the last album on which the band was billed as "The Young Rascals"; their next album, ''Once Upon a Dream'', would be credited to simply "The Rascals". The album began the Rascals' first forays into the psychedelic genre that they would explore further on ''Once Upon a Dream''. Eight of ''Groovins eleven songs were issued by Atlantic Records as single A- or B-sides. The three songs specific to the album are "Find Somebody", "I Don't Love You Anymore", and the Rascals' cover of "A Place in the Sun". "If You Knew", upon its initial release as the "B" side of the single "(I've Been) Lonely Too Long", was jointly credited to all the Rascals' members; the writing credit was changed upon the album's release. Atlantic Records was at first reluctant to release the title song as a single, but its popularity was such that Italian and Spanish versions were released on different sides of a subsequent single.〔 Flutist Hubert Laws is featured in a sessions role on the album's final track, "It's Love". Booker T. & the MG's took a cover of "Groovin'" to the charts later in 1967〔 and the song "You Better Run" was later covered by Pat Benatar and was a hit for her in 1980. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Groovin' (The Young Rascals album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
