Here's a seldom-heard cover of the 1968 hit for The Rascals performed by one of the premier Carolina Beach Music bands ever to make the scene... none other than The Fantastic Shakers, featuring Bo Schronce on lead vocals!
BACKGROUND:
"A Beautiful Morning" is a song written by Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati and recorded by the Rascals. Originally released on March 22, 1968, it was the group's first track released after shortening their name from the Young Rascals. The single was one of the earliest released in stereo, as 7-inch singles generally were in mono. Together with "Hello, I Love You" by The Doors, it is often credited with changing the industry standard of singles.
The song continued the theme of carefree optimism that had distinguished the previous year's "Groovin'". It was written one morning in Honolulu, Hawaii when the band was invited to perform there by promoter Tom Moffatt. It became a big hit in the United States, reaching number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and also reaching number 36 on the Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles chart. It was RIAA-certified as a Million Seller on June 28, 1968. The first album on which the song appeared was Time Peace: The Rascals' Greatest Hits.
In the years since this song was originally released, countless artists have covered it, including a 2007 version by Renee Geyer, as well as the featured 1981 version by Carolina Beach Music group The Fantastic Shakers, which was co-produced by lead singer Bo Schronce and record label owner Jack Stallings.
