Saturday Music Post - Good Lovin'

The Young Rascals (later, just The Rascals) had a number one hit with "Good Lovin'" in 1966, but they were actually the fifth group to record the song, which was written a year earlier by Rudy Clark and Arthur Resnick. The earlier recordings were by Limme Snell (as Lemme B. Good), the Olympics, the Tremeloes (in the UK), and the Who (not released as a single). According to Wikipedia, Felix Cavalieri heard the Olympics' cut on the radio and recorded it with virtually the same arrangement, which almost everyone has used ever since.

A few different arrangements, including Snell's original, are at the bottom of the post at The Faculty Lounge.
