by Bruce EderThe Rascals move into the era of psychedelia with a vengeance on this album -- their best of their entire history -- which also retains a soulful core and adds a bit of a Latin beat. The original album on Atlantic was a monster seller thanks to the title track, practically the group's signature tune (number one on the pop charts, number three on R&B), but Groovin' was only one small strong point on the album of the same name. Find Somebody marked a return to the group's garage band sound with a psychedelic twist, including phased fuzztone guitars and some catchy lyrics and choruses. How Can I Be Sure is the second-best-known song off of this album, but it has a fully successful companion piece, I'm So Happy Now, which applies similar instrumentation to very different (but pleasing) effect. Gene Cornish's I Don't Love You Anymore could be the finest pop song in the band's repertory apart from How Can I Be Sure, with a delectable guitar part, scrumptious melody, and delicious chorus. You Better Run was more than a year old when it turned up on this album, and its garage band sensibilities are a bit more primitive than those of Find Somebody, but it's a great piece of rock & roll. The band turns in one superb Motown cover, A Place in the Sun, done in a surprisingly subdued fashion. And for a finale, Cavaliere and Brigati turn in an exultant period piece, It's Love, whose soaring lyrics are matched by guest artist Hubert Laws' flute -- alas, his presence would point the way toward less effective, more disjointed work in the group's future, as they moved more deeply into psychedelia.
