"How Can I Be Sure?" by The Young Rascals.
OK, girls and boys, more 60s: This moving Cavaliere/Brigati romantic ballad was written and recorded by their group in '67 - their 4th US hit, peaking at #4. Their highest-charting single with Eddie Brigati on lead vocals. Doubts of one-sided love. The beautiful accordion accompaniment gives it a French cabaret feel. French chanteuse Nicoletta's version sold 2 million copies worldwide. David Cassidy topped the charts with it in the UK and took it to #25 in the US in '72. Song? Group?
Answer: "How Can I Be Sure" by The Young Rascals. My 2nd fave Rascals tune after "Baby, Let's Wait". I used to be able to hit Eddie's stratospheric notes towards the end of the song in my younger years. NOT NO MORE!!! Early presbylaryngis perhaps?! Boy, I HATE it when that happens!
