The Young Rascals, Come On Up
My second influential elpee was the Rascals Time Peace, which was a greatest hits collection that went to No. 1 on the Billboard charts. For me it was a chance to play this great band’s great songs all the time. It was also an introduction to Wilson Pickett and the Atlantic R+B style, which has been a treat ever since.
In any case, Come on Up was a single off their second album, Collections, and was not a huge hit. But it sure is a cool song.
So tight. Another great one from this album, this was the flip side of “Come On Up.” Shoulda been a double-sided hit but life is strange. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbhN2bvUXHo
Didn’t know this was a b-side. A majestic tune. Should not be overlooked!
