If this song came out in 1971 then I was not born for 14 more years. I am not born in the U.S.A either but have live here most of my life. I am learning about the pop songs of this era by exploring You Tube. This song and group music is almost not to be believed! This is a song that is perfected in all the elements of song writing, musicianship, singing, and production. It is a stunning work that is so much fun and energetic to hear! It is romantic but has an edge on it.

[freshstjohn]

Timeless vocals ahead of the time- sexual honest lust comes through with captivating inflection

[horsenaround]

This was the hit song when i graduated high school! 1971. So many memories! Thank you for posting these! They are beautiful recordings!

[rwells47]

@horsenaround - you're very welcome!

[fm263]

Sooooo many memories of waiting for the Grass Roots to come on 'LS or 'CFL when I was a teen.....air guitar before it was fashionable, and beating the metal dashboard to death doing drum solos in the car.This was a great time to be alive, Bucks, Grass Roots, Shadows of Night, so many places to see and hear them. This song in particular brings back so many memories. Thank you so much for posting it

[rwells47]

@fm263- you're very welcome!

[sweetgypsy100]

Rob was a fabulous bassist. Wonderful music--never tire of listening--always relevant.

[bradmonium1]

The eyes have it! And the eyes tell the whole story.

[KMD100100]

great song

[muzicfrst]

I'm love drunk!

[MrGRS123]

Looking through lots of videos on youtube. so much crap!... and then there are your uploads... good sound, good video/slideshow. Very enjoyable. Thank you for bringing back memories of the late 60's, high school and my garage band.

[rwells47]

@MrGRS123- you are very welcome! Thanks for the kind words! Happy New Year! God Bless you, Ron

[honest4sure]

Maybe it didn't sell the best, but this IS their best. RIP Rob Grill. You and the GrassRoots had a distinctive and great sound.

[alka5967]

A Great

Song!!!.

[firefieldmpt]

@alka5967 great group great song like you said BG

[futuremath08]

This should have been a bigger hit. Great song.

[gtrhero100]

THANK YOU!!! This is my favorite song by the Grass Roots. A very HOT guitar solo for that era.

[rwells47]

@gtrhero100- you're very welcome!

[calalilygirl]

The girl at around 23 secs does have brown eyes very natural that are quite beautiful. But the majority ARE green or blue.

[calalilygirl]

Blue and green definitely seem to be the most tempting here and shown the most. Brown can be gorgeous but they did not seem to show that many that were beautiful.....Awesome song.

[1234captron]

One of their best

[tazzbytes]

An honor to watch this channel !

[tazzbytes]

R.I.P. Rob Grill

[jeff62rey]

Elizabeth D. You were my "Temptation Eyes," that summer of '71 in our little lonely, subdivision in N.W. Ohio. All of those preteen, marshmellowly, angst ridden, puppy-love feelings that bound me up over you have come back time and time these past few years to haunt me.

[shack8110]

A catchy, beautiful song which nearly perfectly reflects my thoughts on my girlfriend. Surprised it only reached 15.

I wonder what the 14 higher ranked songs were (or where i can find the chart for those weeks in '71).

[cforssi]

Great! How about posting "Monday Love?" Thanks again, Charles

[rwells47]

@cforssi- Charles, I can't believe you are asking me this! I just posted a video with 4 songs from the "Move Along" album and of course "Monday Love" is one of the 4! Ron

[HippyHaven]

Damn!  I love this song, but these f*cking advertisements are as annoying as hell!

[OLKYGIRL]

I grew up listening to these songs, i love them just as much now as i did back then!

Todays music is'nt music compared to the 60's and 70's!

[cubuff80]

Great song! The Grass Roots do not get enough recognition for their music.

[Mandi7882]

RIP Rob Grill...what a sad ending to such a prolific life.

[jimkarie1]

RIP ROB

[HurstOldsW30]

RIP Rob Grill

[larrydh57]

Man. Rob Grill is gone. That SUCKS.

[tcidolfan]

@larrydh57 I know!!! I didn't even know about this until I checked the news!!! He was gone TOO SOON!!!! I even went to a concert a several years ago!!! Now I was not around when they first debut, but to be able to go to a concert and hear their biggest hits live, that's a belssing!!!!

[v2vroth]

rest in peace Rob Grill

[74bshs]

Great number from the early '70's, when I was just a kid. And great photos to go along with this song. Thank you for this post!!

[spikeboogey123]

That's an interesting eye chart...never seen one quite like that...lol...wtf..stfu...etc.

[eearata]

That gal in slide #2 in the Burka is foxy - Burkas have their place

[antiaverage1]

@eearata when worn by choice... not when worn by force...

[belianis]

'tis decades since I last heard this song; thanks for posting it.

[rwells47]

@belianis- you are welcome!  Ron

[rudchowbell]

Love The Song,,, not much for the video.. I only listen to the music

[DDWYLR]

Holy s**t - I need to send a thank you note to my douchebag former employer for letting us go. Now I have time to listen to some really great songs that I almost forgot about. Temptation Eyes and Midnight Confessions are probably my fav Grass Roots tunes. Rock On.........

[pucksterz12]

Never heard this before - What era is this from?

[Bigrich104]

@pucksterz12 1971...followed by "Sooner or Later", then "Two Divided By Love"

[calalilygirl]

@Bigrich104 Great songs all three.

[stewballmax3]

[PurpleFade10]

I was a 10 yeas old Drummer in 71..i would play to this song over & over..I was also in love with almost every Girl in my class..One was special to me we were very close..I never pushed for more,I Should have though because i found out through a friend of hers a few years later after she had moved that she always wanted more, I never saw her again..who knows.... im alone today though

[2094061527]

@PurpleFade10.. Hi PurpleFade, I love the story you shared. Don't you sometimes wish you could kick your own ass for not doing something you really wanted to do...lol .. what you described has so happened to me and that's usually how I felt... I love a good love story, maybe you can find her on facebook or something... good luck... Maria from northern cali

[markjaws1]

These great songs of the 1960s to the early 1970s in contrast to the sh_tty "music" of today proves that marijuana destroys far less brain cells than cocaine and whatever they are doing today.

[cablonde320]

Haven't heard this in years!! Great song and video!!
