This man's voice guided one of the greatest bands through the 60s........and he needs to be recognized for his accomplishments along with the rest of the band.
Felix is a modern legend. One of the greatest voices of our time. Still touring at 80 years old and still has that soulful voice. Love him (Shelley F.)
OMG, this was my jam when I was growing up! Felix Cavalier had a way of phrasing his lyrics and I would lose my mind! I miss the background vocals though. Together they were the bomb!
I remember hearing this on the radio for the first time during my high school days when I was a drummer in a garage band. This song blew me away within seconds. His voice is incredible. It's a shame that Dino Danelli wasn't with him on this video. I still have all of the Yound Rascals aka Rascals albums that I bought back in the 60's. (I never knew why the name changed.)
Chills and a tear or two. Reaches down into my soul, somehow even more than the original version. Hearing it like this just shows how great of a song it really is, on it’s own terms. There are many who are much more famous than Felix, but most of them don’t have an ounce of the talent and soul this man possesses.
Amazing voice, piano playing Wow. These people probably have NO clue who they listening too. Look at them. Felix couldn't open his eyes....great entertainer
Wow, simply Amazing. In voice and creativity ,Still There. Now you Know why The Rascals, Were the most Powerful Original, Soulful Rockin, JazZ Based Band That ,Came out of NEW YORK.=PEACE TO ALL
@@ringo244 Hey, Yes Man some of My greatest memories in Music, was seeing these Guys 'Live' many times . Learning experience from a Young dude then. Peace..
On this day in 1980 {May 3rd} Felix Cavaliere performed "Only A Lonely Heart Sees" on the ABC-TV program 'American Bandstand'... Three months earlier on February 24th, 1980 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #85; and on April 13th it peaked at #36 {for 1 week} and spent 11 weeks on the Top 100... During this same week 14 years earlier in 1966 Felix, as a member of the Young Rascals, was in the #2 position on the Top 100 with "Good Lovin'" {the week before it was #1}... Mr. Cavaliere will celebrate his 72nd birthday this coming November 29th, 2014...
So many singers from that era don't have their voices anymore (I'm thinking John Sebastian when the Lovin' Spoonful was inducted into the RRHOF). It doesn't sound like Felix Cavaliere has lost a thing (at least judging from this performance).
Felix was 75% of The Rascals. He was the most talented one, and Eddie, Gene & Dino must accept that. As Felix once said to them, "We're in a business. We don't have to love each other."
56dinosaur-Actually they all gave 25% each , Felix had that awesome voice and good song writing ability-Gene Cornish also wrote songs and played guitar-Eddie Brigati brought a lot of magic to the group and of course Dino Donatelli on drums =100%
I've been lonely too long, I've been lonely too long And the past it's come and gone, I feel like I can't go on without love. I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely too long.) I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely.) As I look back, I can see me lost and searching. Now I find that I can choose, I'm free. Oh, Yeah! So funny I just have to laugh, All my troubles been torn in half. I been lonely too long. (He's been lonely too long.) Lonely too long. (He's been lonely.) In the past it's come and gone, I feel like I can't go on without love. (Lonely), lonely too long I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely) Just see me now Makes it worth the time I've waited. She was all I need to make me see, Oh, Yeah! I keep hopin' with all my mind, Everything gonna turn out right. I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely too long). I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely.) Now look at me Gliding through this world of beauty Everything I do brings ecstasy, Oh, Yeah! No wonder I could die I feel like I'm 'bout ten miles high! I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely too long.) Lonely too long. (He's been lonely.) Found myself somebody. (He's been lonely) Don't have to be alone no more. (He's been lonely, He's been lonely.) Don't have to alone no more, no more. (He's been lonely, He's been lonely... ...........:)O(:..........

Felix has one the best pure voices in the history of pop music. So much soul and melody.
He still sounds incredible all these years later
Yes, I agree.
Yes, he does sound nice.
yes
He's a great and terribly underrated singer/songwriter . He is an enormous talent
Ditto
And a genuinely nice guy.
Felix is a modern legend. One of the greatest voices of our time. Still touring at 80 years old and still has that soulful voice. Love him (Shelley F.)
When I see people like him sing I realize that no matter how much I practice singing I will suck. You have to be born with it.
Felix and the band had the vision, the talent, and the delivery to make their mark for all time to come...not to be duplicated...
Very Well said-Truth
I hope I can sing 1/10 this well when I'm 70+ years old. It's like he hasn't aged since 1970.
Wow! He's still got the vocal chops. I've always loved his tone. So cool to see him still performing and makin it happen.
What a great rendition! Almost 45 yrs. later, this one of my all time favorite songs still lives.
Wow...still has that voice.
So talented - music is the best medicine
Overlooked great vocalist
How can the audience just sit there....and not MOVE to this music!!!
O M G! I haven't heard this song in I don't know how long. Felix still delivers. Yeah this IS the real deal.
Just marvelous! Wonderful!
Truly superb
OMG, this was my jam when I was growing up! Felix Cavalier had a way of phrasing his lyrics and I would lose my mind! I miss the background vocals though. Together they were the bomb!
what a brilliant paired down piano voice arrangement. Take note American Idol contestants. THIS IS SINGING
I remember hearing this on the radio for the first time during my high school days when I was a drummer in a garage band. This song blew me away within seconds. His voice is incredible. It's a shame that Dino Danelli wasn't with him on this video. I still have all of the Yound Rascals aka Rascals albums that I bought back in the 60's. (I never knew why the name changed.)
What a voice, my man Felix, grew up with you and your music. A man and his piano...amazing
just amazing, he just took my breath away!
Felix Cavalieri is a monster on the vocals great memories of my Junior High School days late sixties so much talent.
Another GREAT hit love this
you know you wrote a great song when it grooves without a band
He's still got a great voice. Has aged so well.
Dino Danelli RIP
One of the voices of my childhood.
His voice hasn't lost much of anything from his younger days. Excellent!

I totally agree! I just saw him & Gene Cornish 1 week ago......what a voice!!! Only thing lost is a few strands of hair......💜🥰
