Good Lovin'

They were known variously as the Rascals and Young Rascals and they had a string of hits from the mid-60s to the early 70s. Vocalists Eddie Brigati (vocals) and Felix Cavaliere (keyboard, vocals) are probably the better known members of the group but Gene Cornish was responsible for an essential element of the group's sound on guitar. I was aware of Gene Cornish because he was born in my hometown of Ottawa, Canada in 1946. Happy Birthday, Gene. Here's a familiar tune...

So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows...
