I believe this was from an Ed Sullivan show and they did a medley of their songs then sang just a little of Temptation Eyes, not the whole song!! Still love this though!!!
The mod styles, bell-bottoms, red striped bells, peasant blouses and of course, the music. Really a fun time to be a teenager and/or young adult. Awesome time to be alive.
Who on earth could not be impressed by Rob Grill's vocals on this fabulous song? Wow! And how could the late 1960's - early 1970's be so jam packed with dozens of rock/pop groups of this great caliber? So many superb groups . . . The Grass Roots, The Guess Who, America, The Doobie Brothers, The Hollies, CCR, The Bee Gees, Grand Funk Railroad and on and on and on. I'm very thankful to have been a young teen during these halcyon days of music.
RIP Rob Grill. Of all the 60's pop/rock bands, The Grassroots were my favorite. I was in the stage band and when the Roots used horns in their songs much like Blood, Sweat & Tears, I went grazy. I was the drummer. It's amazing how many hit records these guys had.
@clubmidnightsun Saw one of his friends last night -- in fact his fishing buddy Corey Wells of Three Dog Night. National media did a lousy job of mentioning his death.
I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS....something drew me to search the band on my way home from work, and now I find Grill passed. I am sad, shocked...let's live for today!
Does anyone know whats going on with Rob? On facebook many are wishing him better health. Last time I seen him, 2008 he was limping and had a cane on stage.
One of the best guitar solos in pop music...great tone and soulful note choices. Terry Furlong, second guitarist, wrote a FANTASTIC song that was covered by Three Dog Night, called "My Impersonal Life." One of my personal favorites, you can find it on "Harmony." (1971)
@JayBBluejay Also Dennis is in this video on the keyboards. Warren is in the video and is not playing the red gibson looks like he is playing a gibson ES-335 sunburst.
Love this song and this group. For me no one does it better than Rob Grill. I've been a fan of The Grass Roots for 40t years and these are the guys in the group when I first started listening to them. Rob, Warren Entner, Rick Coonce and Dennis Provisor. Thanks so much for posting, Rhonda
lol watch the bass player try to take over the guitar solo

Would have been nice if the whole video was really Temptation Eyes instead of snippets of it. Nice Try!

There will never ever be another 70's. We had fun, a kind of enjoyable innocent fun that can't be described because it does not exist any longer.

I know Rob Grill is on bass and Rick Koonce is on drums. I have three questions:
1. Is that Dennis Provisor on keyboards?
2. Is Warren Entner in this video, and which Gibson guitar is he playing, the sunburst one or the red one?
3. Who is the fifth member in the group?
