I think I’ll go outside for a while… and smile!
And take in some clean fresh air cause ain’t no sense in staying’ inside if
the weather’s fine and you’ve got the time
It’s your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day, either way…
it’s beautiful morning!

“It’s A Beautiful Morning” is a song written by Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati and recorded by The Rascals. Coming out in early 1968, it was the group’s first single released under that name rather than The Young Rascals. The first album on which the song appeared was Time Peace: The Rascals’ Greatest Hits. It continued the theme of carefree optimism that had distinguished the previous year’s “Groovin'”. The song was a big hit in the United States, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and also reaching number 36 on the Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles chart.[1] It was RIAA-certified as a Million Seller on June 28, 1968. The song had an introductory sound of mystical wind chimes and bells.
I was 4 in 68 when this came out. I call this my “mothers music” because it was on the radio when she was with me. I sing this song all the time !
I have very fond memories of this song as it was popular when I was a young mother with my newborn daughter. When I hear the song, I’m taken back to those moments…
I played that album till the grooves disappeared
“People everywhere just got to be free”
Another hit…..❤️👍
