The Rascals' album "People Got To Be Free Groovin" is a timeless classic that showcases the band's musical prowess and social consciousness. Released in 1968, the album features some of the Rascals' biggest hits, including the title track "People Got To Be Free" and "A Beautiful Morning."

The album's opening track, "A Ray of Hope," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its optimistic message and catchy melody. The Rascals' signature blend of rock, soul, and R&B is on full display throughout the album, with each song showcasing the band's tight musicianship and powerful vocals.

While the album is filled with upbeat and danceable tracks, it is also marked by its socially conscious lyrics. "People Got To Be Free" is a powerful anthem that speaks to the civil rights movement of the time, while "Love Is a Beautiful Thing" is a poignant reminder of the importance of love and unity in the face of division and hatred.
