The Rascals (originally promoted and known as The Young Rascals) were an American blue-eyed soul and rock music group of the 1960s.
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.

 Rascals' Biography
The Rascals were masters of the three-minute single: sustained bursts of highly energized pop-soul made to be blasted over transistor radios or danced to at parties and discotheques.
The Rascals' biggest hit, "People Got to Be Free," was cowritten by Cavaliere and Brigati as an impassioned response to the assassinations of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
This was the model for the Rascals' early sound: a mixture of hard R&B and British Invasion energy, with tight harmony vocals and arrangements highlighting Cavaliere's Hammond organ.

The Rascals were one of the more prolific and successful of pop-rock groups in the 1960's, scoring three number one songs and an additional ten Top 40 numbers.
While they are often described as the prototypical 'blue-eyed soul' band, they actually progressed through several incarnations, beginning as a gritty garage-rock band, peaking as an accomplished, mainstream pop assemblage, and moving into the 1970's they began experimenting with jazz and rock fusion, a diversion that took them away from their formulaic success.
Originally called the Young Rascals, this group never made much impact in the UK (where they only had one major hit and one minor hit) but they were more successful in their American homeland, where they had several big hits including three that went all the way to number one.
