Good Lovin', The Rascals

Yeah, Columbia's music publishing company had their songs as well. Steve Stills' main problem with not being a Monkee was the fact his compositions would have been owned by Don Kirsher's publishing company. The Rascals took the big carrot held in front of the donkey. They should have stayed with Atlantic even those last records with Columbia were cool jazz fusion mix.

Interesting how Dino still talks about The Rascals when except for last week and about a few times since '72 they've played together. They sold their publishing 35 +years ago and lost millions doing so. It crucified the band. Felix hates the others: big time. He could be in a 22 room mansion on his share alone. Dino & Gene get rare gigs as The New Rascals. Felix is all over the place.

The Monkees met a similar fate by signing their rights away as kids with no legal advice. They were star struck and went for the white hot spotlights on their signatures on the contract. Made a salary of approx $400/week, no residuals and a no compete clause with COLGEMS music to never be able to use "The Monkees" name....forever. Davey Jones lives on Florida's Treasure Coast raising and caring for thorobreds.

Hey there good brutha, what seems like a good contract then??Out of curiosity .

Awesome!  Say hi to him for me :)

Dino is flat-out great, without any "supergroup" to prop him up!

Haha! Is it chicano power or what? does it matter the color of the band as long as the music is gooD? Nooooo!

Chicano power? What are you talking about?

Back-in-the-day where I grew up, on popular-radio, 93 KHJ am & KRLA, this music was considered a part of the progresive music made by upcoming mexican-american groups, aka "chicanos". It's not a bad thing, rather a recognition that anybody can make good, catchy music, and they just happened to be from the local "east L.A.; Whittier; Lower Valley; whatever - areas

what a great song and band, covered last night in MSP by the Boss, mybrucespringsteen
