| One of the finest singers and songwriters ever, Felix's hammond B3 organ and soul-filled vocals are cornestones of the Rascals' sound. His musical talent and songwriting skill were the catalyst to many of the bands greatest accomplishments. For a time, his hit-making collaberations with Eddie Brigati rivaled that of Lennon-McCartney and Bacharach-David. His pre-Rascals career included some regional New York bands including FELIX AND THE ESCORTS , JOEY DEE AND THE STARLIGHTERS and SANDU SCOTT AND HER SCOTTIES (with Dino Danelli!) He's had the most prolific post-Rascals output, producing many artists, film composing, a stint with RINGO STARR'S ALL STAR BAND and also released a string of excellent solo projects including albums like Felix Cavaliere, Destiny, and the late 70's power trio, Treasue. ( And he still sounds great today!) JOE RUSSO |
