Little Steven reunites the Rascals

The original lineup of The Rascals reunited this past Saturday (4/24) for a fund-raising concert in New York.

 Eddie Brigati, Felix Cavaliere, Gene Cornish and Dino Danelli performed at Robert DeNiro's restaurant Tribeca Grill to benefit the Kristen Ann Carr Fund that supports programs designed to help teenagers and young adults with cancer and other serious illnesses. It was the first time the blue-eyed soul legends performed together since their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.

 Steven Van Zandt, who along with his wife Maureen were honored at the annual fundraiser for all the work they carried out for the fund.  It was Little Steven who gave The Rascals’ induction speech at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. .

 "I speak on behalf of the band when I say all the money offers in the world could not entice The Rascals to reunite," guitarist Gene Cornish said in a statement. "But four phone calls from Stevie and without hesitation we enthusiastically and immediately agreed to both support this wonderful cause and honor Stevie and Maureen."

 The Kristen Ann Carr Fund was founded in 1993 by Bruce Springsteen's co-manager Barbara Carr and her husband, writer Dave Marsh, after Sarcoma claimed the life of their 21-year-old daughter Kristen. The fund has established a comprehensive sarcoma laboratory at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and provides sarcoma fellowships in both surgery and oncology at MSKCC.
