The Newest Duo: Felix and Dolly

Written By Mike Greenblatt
Felix and Dolly

Rascal Felix Cavaliere has teamed up with Tennessee superstar Dolly Parton to aid victims of the Maui fire for a remake of his 1968 song “My Hawaii.” Maui, a year later, is still reeling from the devastating effects of a monster wildfire that killed over a hundred people and has crippled the state’s tourism economy. 100% of the proceeds to purchase the digital download of “My Hawaii” will go to  Maui Fire Disaster Relief Fund. “This song is a token of love and gratitude to the people of Hawaii, especially Maui,” Cavaliere said. “Words and music cannot do justice to their strength and beauty. We must continue to help them and support them.” Felix Cavaliere brought The Young Rascals—as they were originally known—out of Garfield in Bergen County to the heights of stardom. He can seen performing “How Can I Be Sure” in The Jersey Sound documentary, currently streaming on TubiTV.
