The clown’s mission is to bring chaos and fun to the serious adult world. Sprinkled in that playful is the caring for others who could a good jolt of joy. And that’s what e will do. In this podcast I share the meaning of the jokester and the importance of being playful.

In the words of my dear friend, Bernie DeKoven, “Fun and laughter are a religious experience. Our lives have become increasingly fragile, our world increasing harsh. It’s a miracle we can laugh at all. And that’s the whole point.”

Peace, love, and happiness is the creative force for legendary singer songwriter, FELIX CAVALIERE. Making people feel good is what he has done for over 50-years. Felix career has led him to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Songwriter Hall of Fame, Vocal Group Hall of Fame, and Grammy Hall of Fame. Few artists can claim they defined a generation; FELIX CAVALIERE continues to remind us to keep listening for the world’s beauty. As a classically trained pianist, born in Pelham, New York, Felix idolized Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, and Sam Cooke. Early in 1965, FELIX CAVALIERE formed the ‘Young Rascals’ with Dino Danelli, Eddie Brigati, and Gene Cornish. Their mega hit “Good Lovin’” struck No. 1 in February 1966. They followed suit with a string of hits like “I’ve Been Lonely Too Long,” “Groovin’ (No. 1 in 1967), “How Can I Be Sure,” “A Girl Like You,” “A Beautiful Morning,” and “People Got to Be Free” (No. 1 in 1968). The Rascals are considered the best ‘blue-eyed soul’ group to come out of the 1960s, as well as one of the groups with the most record sales.    FELIX CAVALIERE calls Nashville home base, where he is constantly collaborating and writing new material. He’s also finishing his memoir and has an active tour schedule with FELIX CAVALIERE’S RASCALS.
