Before the band even heads our way, we got a chance to talk to the man behind the timeless music. Felix Cavaliere joined us on the Friday (2/6/25) edition of the I-95 Morning Show, this was our favorite moment.

Lou: When I think about certain songs, I always attach a memory to it, a person from my life. For instance, if I hear a song by the Cranberries I think of my sister Renee. These are your songs "Lonely too Long" "Beautiful Morning" that you wrote and performed thousands of times. Is there one that you connect a memory to, a person to?

Felix: "Oh, there are many of them, absolutely. You know, the love songs I wrote were basically based on this wonderful lady I met, someone I was madly in love with, who I truly believe came into my life so I could write those songs. Her name was Adrienne —Adrienne was her name."

Lou: That is amazing! So, if Adrienne wasn't born we wouldn't have these songs?

Felix: "Correct, and I truly believe that. They call them muses, M-U-S-E. I sincerely believe that this young lady came into my life; I was so madly in love I could hardly see. Then, as fate would have it, 'How Can I Be Sure' came along, and we split up."
