MAYBE WITH SOME LUCK, SOONER OR LATER, I'LL BE ABLE TO WIN OVER THE DREAM GIRL OF MY LIFE, KITTY FROM BELLMORE NY AND MAKE HER MINE..THE ODDS ARE NOT GOOD RIGHT NOW, BUT IM NEVER GIVING UP..NEVER...I LOVE U...X0..pete
i am one of those new generation but this...this ....is amazing and awesome and beautiful and awesome and epic and epic oh and soo epic...and oh did i metioned this is awesome>??
okay that is fuck this genereation bring back 1970 when people where nicer... kids could ride there bikes in the early summer evening and privacy was just a little more respected... fuck 2010 its 1970
@4162661670 that's why I'm the only one in our big family to not have children for the rest of his lifetime. it's sad but the shit music (no dynamics, everything electronically "mastered" to death), the shit world together with their shit 24-hour surveillance of each and everyone - as you say, privacy - would make me feel like an ignorant asshole if I put children into THIS world. For we were so infinitely lucky with our "poor" technology...
@4162661670 Agreed, I was a kid in the 1970's had a good time, with good music such as the grass roots, hate this rap crap generation or this pop bull shit, music todays it about the money and the spot light, back in days it was about the talent, with real instruments..wonder why im still stuck in the past. 50's through the 80's is the best era...
Thats it i have had it.... fuck this generation of music.. bring back the early seventies when people where nicer... kids could ride there bikes in the early evenings and there was no internet perverts.... fuck 2010 its 1970 again...
Love love love the Grass Roots, reminds me of a better place and time. Time really flew. Shame the majority of kids today dont appreicate great music. Not all that screeching that makes you want to hurt something.
This is my favorite Grass Roots song! It's got a great beat & and it's a blast to listen to. I was just 7 when this was popular. How many here remember these guys on American Bandstand? I loved their music. Too bad today's kids don't have groups like this anymore.
What a great group! If you get a chance you have to see them in concert you will not be disapointed! Rob still brings it! See ya in January Rob! WHOOHOO! Can't wait!
It's funny that the dude on the lower right is Creed from the TV show "The Office". He even plays guitar on the TV show from time to time. The world just keeps moving.
i know LateniteListoner: LISTON to him. SOONER OR LATER is just the tip of the iceberg. GRASSROOTS are MEGASTARS theyre songs will live on thru the ages. MIDNIGHT CONFESSIONS is just the beginning of a string of hits. this doo wop/rocknroll historian knows his music and LateNite Listoner knows his music. we all lived thru those great years. Ah if only it was the mid 60s again. Thanks GrassRoots. TOMKES
this is just one of the great tunes from the Grass Roots...I saw them live 3 times and always a great show. I was at a sea park in Dallas (1972/73) and had lunch with them in a obscure part of the park. Wow was that a thrill...I've also since met Rob twice...such a great guy and fan friendly after the show!!
Thanks for that. I've listened to the songs you mentioned and i like them (mainly their more upbeat songs.) I've also listened to a couple of songs from their early lineup (bella linda, where were you when i needed you.)
Since you're just discovering the The Grass Roots, I suggest you also try "Heaven Knows" ; Midnight Confessions" ; "Temptation Eyes" and "Wait a Million Years." They (The Grass Roots) had so many great, great classics. Their lead singer is Rob Grill (top left, in the photo)
1969 was another great music year. If you look at a list of the top 40 hits from that particular year you'll be amazed at how many great classics that lists includes.
latenitelistoner, thanks again. we are in full accord. we know great music when we hear it. Grassroots are tops in their era . Sooner or Later is unbelievable. ill e mail you personally. im new to this.i like to talk more about these great songs..Keep the faith. long live GRASSROOTS and i say that with heart&conviction. what blockbusters. they were kings . 1968 big year. God Bless.TOMK
Thanks LateNite Listener again.I salute your service to America, your taste in great musc..No more RAP or HIP HOP such hateful music with PROFANITY. low class unamerican. You&I are Americans. Anything from GRASSROOTS is IMMORTAL. the beat lyrics,sound& preaches love peace,fun, and great times. look me up elsewhere on my critiques on rock favorites on youtube. this 50s rock historian knows what he says. im the voice of a dying generation..Blessings. TOMK
Hey latenitelistoner: Thanks for your e mail. ill say more: I played Midnight Confessions and Sooner or Later back to back, easily several hundreds of times in the 68 era. i aint lying. when i hear a great song, lyrics the sound and that beat, this rock historian from the 50s goes all the way saluting it. Grassroots I miss you., We all miss you. Thanks and God bless you& your siongs. Sooner or Later Midnight Confessions are TOPS. God Bless.TOMK e mail me anytime.
brother this bring back memories for me in 68. what a mega hit, a giant. you guys are the best. we need more great music like this. i salute you and all the great rocknroll stars of the 50s and 60s. solid. superb, fantastic guys. this song will live for 1000 years. tomK
I couldn't agree more. Their songs are absolutely timeless. By the way, for those of you out there just now discovering The Grass Roots, be sure to check out "Wait a Million Years" "Feelings" and "Midnight Confessions.' All of them are just incredible...
This song just makes me want to go absolutely ape shit! It is wonderful! I want to dance and I want to shit all over the floor! It is awesome! It pounds into your brain!
This was probably my FAVORITE Grass Roots song!!! And they were one of the first groups I really liked and I think their LP was the record I ever bought back in 1969 or '70.
SOONER OR LATER..I HAVE TO WIN AT WINNING OVER THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, RENEE....IT MIGHT TAKE A LONG TIME, A TON OF WORK, PERSEVERANCE, TENACITY AND ALL THAT CRAP...BUT I HAVE REALLY NO OTHER CHOICE AT THIS STAGE...CANT LOOK BACK ANYMORE AND MUST MOVE ON IN LIFE ANEROBICALLY....LOVE YA HONEY.....p......BE MINE......
A very nice song about a man waiting for the love of his life to marry him.
The lines, "sooner or later, love is gonna get ya,"' and "sooner or later, love is gonna win" along with many other lines in the song apply outside the boundaries of romantic love and to everything we do in life.
YOURE DEFINATELY RIGHT ABOUT THE THESIS OF APPLYING TO ALL IN LIFE..NO DOUBT ABOUT IT..THANX...BUT LOVE IS THE ONE THRESHOLD THAT IS SOMETIMES THAT EVADES MOST OF US....pete...BUT I STILL WANT HER, AT ALL COST..WHAT DO I DO?
I SURE HOPE THAT THIS THESIS WORKS...RENEE, I WANT TO MAKE YOU MINE FOR LIFE, AT ALL COST...I'D DO ANYTHING IN THE WORLD TO MAKE YOU MINE FOREVER..ITS AN UPHILL STRUGGLE RIGHT NOW, BUT THAT HAS TO CHANGE...TELL ME WHAT TO DO AND I'LL DO IT...I JUST WANT TO SPEND ETERNITY WITH YOU, AGAIN, AT ANY AND ALL COST...I LOVE YOU HONEY...pete.x0
God Bless Renee it's all A OK What the hell do I know But this sounds good I'm 52 and I have been on the wrong side of things. My fault I think this sounds good
ACTUALLY I REALLY DONT BELIEVE IN LUCK EITHER..BUT THERE ALWAYS TO BE HOPE IN AN UPHILL SITUATION...THANX FOR THE COMMENT AND I AM A REALIST...I HAVE A PHILOSOPHY IN LIFE....HOPE FOR THE BEST, PREPARE FOR THE WORST...AGAIN, THANX A TON...WISH ME LUCK, TONS OF IT..THATS WHAT IT MIGHT TAKE OR A STRIKE OF LIGHTNING..THAT WOULD BE FINE WITH ME TOO....AGAIN, THANX..HAVE A GREAT DAY...pete.....
This is truly the kind of lyrics we need to hear as people. Its that message of hope that's absent from all modern music. Maybe that's whats wrong with the world. This music just makes me feel great.
Love Grass Roots more people should listen to them!! The Younger people now adays dont know what good music is! Grass Roots are a good example of what kinda of music they should be listening too!!!
true--I am a fifteen year old kid who refuses to listen to any pop, rap or electronic. I am strictly a fan of rock, heavy metal, and classics like this
Arguably one of the first blue-eyed soul hits to imitate the Philadelphia Sound (as opposed to white acts like the Soul Survivors that actually worked with Gamble and Huff, etc.).
I did know sang this song before. This is the first song I heard from them probably. I next heard some songs on their best hits album "Golden Grass"which I one of my freiends told me it was.
rob grill and the grass roots at their best wonderful lush harmonies, blue-eyed soul nice and tight, thanks guys great memories of the 60s and early 70s..
This song is almost too catchy. I don't want to hear it while I'm driving because I'm afraid I'll start singing along instead of paying attention to the road :)
glad to hear they are still around. They (the band) bought my family's house in Portland Or. around 1973. We left a dinghy behind the garage and I went with my dad to pick it up a few weeks l8r - they had trashed the place and hot chicks were naked in the pool WHOO HOO!!
This band still performs. Same lead singer. They still sound great! Saw them at an Oldies Show in Detroit a couple of years ago. If you get a chance to see them...do it.
Anytime this song comes on I can sing right along with it!! I've heard it so many times the lyrics just flow out of my mouth!! High School! & I still love it!!! (wink!)
Kids they just don't make them like this anymore..... lyrics, lyrics, lyrics...Now go tell your garage band buddies to see these and other videos when music had true meaning, rythmn, melody, and beat with words that made sense......a thing called LOVE. Can it be replicated today? The torch must be passed on and someone must not let the flame die out.
i think kids, and society in general, is far too cynical and angry to ever fully replicate the pop genius of the early days.
but there are still a few young ones putting out clever stuff, and even some rather sweet songs. might wanna check out: the thrills, glasvegas, oasis, good the bad and the queen. BRMC's 3rd album.
casting the net further into other genres, i don't think there is anything more meaningful today than the songs of somalia's K'naan. and he's got some good tunes.
and you might like to check out pete doherty's 'deft left hand' on youtube, to see 'sooner or later' s melody being re-used (stolen) in 2009. ...which brought me back to this video in the first place.
What the hell are you talking about?! Leave Jesus out of this. Last I heard, he's all powerful so I highly doubt he needs some fake "spiritual warrior" doing his bidding.
OMG, the memories that go with this song. It was one of my absolute favorites. I use to dance to it in my room all the time, lol. It has such a good beat. Wish the music today sounded like this still. Thank you for posting it!
I remember that this song (Sooner Or Later) was one of 2 or 3 Grass Roots tunes that was featured regularly on the Wonderama childrens' television show of the 1960s. The song would be played during the "Wonderama Go-Go" segment. Kids would get up and dance all the crazy dances of the 60s like 'the froog', the twist, and 'the funky chicken', etc. They'd pick the top 3 dancers as finalists and they would all have to dance to the same song for the win. Often the song would be "Sooner or Later".
No matter where your lived, if you are old enough to remember when this song was released, you probably remember hearing a version of this song with a female chorus singing the call letters of your favorite radio station over the trumpet intro. It was a common practice at big stations to cut custom versions like this but this song was such a natural for it that almost every station in the country bought a custom version of this one.
What a great song! Rob has an awesome voice. I love all of The Grass Roots songs. They are all my favorites! This group is what musio should be like! Peace, Love, and The Grass Roots
this song is amazing. why cant music be like this anymore. The 60s and 70s got such great music and were stuck with crap like rap.lol. it's so unfair.

glad to hear they are still around. They (the band) bought my family's house in Portland Or. around 1973. We left a dinghy behind the garage and I went with my dad to pick it up a few weeks l8r - they had trashed the place and hot chicks were naked in the pool WHOO HOO!!

This band still performs. Same lead singer. They still sound great! Saw them at an Oldies Show in Detroit a couple of years ago. If you get a chance to see them...do it.

Kids they just don't make them like this anymore..... lyrics, lyrics, lyrics...Now go tell your garage band buddies to see these and other videos when music had true meaning, rythmn, melody, and beat with words that made sense......a thing called LOVE. Can it be replicated today? The torch must be passed on and someone must not let the flame die out.

i think kids, and society in general, is far too cynical and angry to ever fully replicate the pop genius of the early days.
but there are still a few young ones putting out clever stuff, and even some rather sweet songs. might wanna check out: the thrills, glasvegas, oasis, good the bad and the queen. BRMC's 3rd album.
casting the net further into other genres, i don't think there is anything more meaningful today than the songs of somalia's K'naan. and he's got some good tunes.

and you might like to check out pete doherty's 'deft left hand' on youtube, to see 'sooner or later' s melody being re-used (stolen) in 2009. ...which brought me back to this video in the first place.

Could someone tell me the year this was first released?
The earliest I could find on Google music was 1985, but I'm almost positive it dates back further.

I remember that this song (Sooner Or Later) was one of 2 or 3 Grass Roots tunes that was featured regularly on the Wonderama childrens' television show of the 1960s. The song would be played during the "Wonderama Go-Go" segment. Kids would get up and dance all the crazy dances of the 60s like 'the froog', the twist, and 'the funky chicken', etc. They'd pick the top 3 dancers as finalists and they would all have to dance to the same song for the win. Often the song would be "Sooner or Later".

No matter where your lived, if you are old enough to remember when this song was released, you probably remember hearing a version of this song with a female chorus singing the call letters of your favorite radio station over the trumpet intro. It was a common practice at big stations to cut custom versions like this but this song was such a natural for it that almost every station in the country bought a custom version of this one.

In fact (if memory serves) my station (in Allentown, PA, 790 AM) sang: "W--A--E--B... Sooner-or-Later!"
