Felix Cavaliere (born November 29, 1942) is an American singer, songwriter, music producer and musician.
Although he was a member of Joey Dee and the Starliters, best known for their hit "Peppermint Twist", he is best known for his association with The Young Rascals during the 1960s. The other members of The Rascals were Eddie Brigati, Dino Danelli and Gene Cornish. Cavaliere sang vocals on six of their successful singles.
At an early age, Cavaliere joined The Stereos, and moved on to form The Escorts, while attending college. He later produced albums by other artists such as Laura Nyro and Jimmie Spheeris.
Following a pair of solo efforts, Cavaliere recorded under the band name Treasure and released a self-titled AOR-styled album in 1977 which featured future Kiss member Vinnie Vincent on guitar. Cavaliere had a solo hit with "Only a Lonely Heart Sees" (1980), which reached No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 2 on the Adult Contemporary chart. Cavaliere and former Rascals bandmate Dino Danelli joined Steve Van Zandt to record Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul's album, Men Without Women (1982). However, Cavaliere strongly disputes this and claims that he was never a member of Little Steven's band.
Felix Cavaliere is the first solo album by Felix Cavaliere, former member, primary songwriter and one of the two lead singers of The Rascals (formerly the Young Rascals). It was produced by Todd Rundgren.
All tracks composed by Felix Cavaliere and Carman Moore
"Without You" is a romantic song written by the American songwriter and music producer Lamont Dozier and recorded as a duet by the singers Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle in 1987. The song was the love theme from the comedy film Leonard Part 6, released the same year. The single peaked at #8 on the adult contemporary chart, #14 on the R&B chart and #89 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
"Without You" was composed by Dozier to be the love theme in Leonard Part 6, released in the United States on December 18, 1987. That same year, Belle released her first album, All by Myself, but "Without You" was not included on the album. In 2012, All by Myself was remastered on CD and "Without You" was included at the end of the album as a bonus track. This is the only album by Belle in which the song is present. Unlike her, Bryson included the song on his album Positive, released in 1988. The song was included in his compilations Anthology, released in 2001, and Bedroom Classics Vol. 2 – Peabo Bryson, released in 2004. On every album that the song is present, it is titled "Without You (Love Theme from Leonard Part 6)", but its title is only '"Without You", given by its composer Dozier. It was the first of four duets recorded by Bryson and Belle, who recorded together "Without You" (in 1987), "I Can't Imagine" (in 1991), "A Whole New World" (in 1992) and "Total Praise" (in 2009). "A Whole New World" is the main theme of the American animated film Aladdin.

(Chorus)
Without you, my world is black and white
Without you without you myself is out of sight
And I feel like I can't the pain of losing you
Without you without you...
(V1)
You made me feel like I could fly and touch the sky
Was falling endlessly without a care or fright
But then you you left me and my world turned to gray
Without you without you I swear that I can't stay
(Chorus)
Without you without you my world is black and white
Without you without you myself is out of sight
And I can't take the pain of losing you
