On July 23, 1944, Dino Danelli of The Young Rascals and later The Rascals was born.

Dino Danelli

Dino Danelli (born Robert Daniel; July 23, 1944 – December 15, 2022) was an American drummer. Danelli was best known as an original member and the drummer in the rock group the Young Rascals. He has been called "one of the great unappreciated rock drummers in history". He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 with the (Young) Rascals.

After the Rascals split up in 1972, Danelli formed the group Bulldog. Soon after, he and former Rascal Gene Cornish formed the band Fotomaker with Wally Bryson of Raspberries. Danelli died on December 15, 2022.
