Once Upon a Dream is the fourth studio album by the rock band the Rascals, released February 19, 1968.
Many consider this album to be the band's best work, while others insist that it was too different from their traditionally rhythm and blues influenced music.
[2] A single of "It's Wonderful" (credited to "The Young Rascals," the band's last recording to be so billed) was issued November 27, 1967 and peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
In his review for Allmusic, music critic Thom Jurek, who highly praised the album, noted the influence of Sgt.
Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and wrote that the Rascals "put their own spin on it by adding their trademark blue-eyed soul and jazz influences to the mix of psychedelia... All details aside, though, a listen to this platter is startling.
