well im glad that they did turn it down now the grass roots has an will all ways be my FAV. group!!! but on this song there is no way they could have a better sound then hamilton, joe frank, and reynolds.. its my fav. song of all time.. i was like OMG that SOUND!!!!
It's been confirmed that Rob Grill died yesterday after falling and being on a ventilator for three days. He passed away in his wife's arms while "Let's Live For Today" played. He was 67. I saw the Grass Roots a few times in the 1990s, and this song was a highlight every time.
Just sitting here going back looling over old postings and its almost like seeing them for the first time again. I love this song and I enjoy hearing Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Reynolds singing it but I bet it would have been a big hit for The Grass Roots if they hadn't turned it down. It just seems loke it was written for Rob to sing but I love it both ways. Thanks again for posting. You do an amazing job and I so enjoy them. Thanks again, Rhonda
hey, how is everything? This song gets me confused, because I thought I knew all of the grass roots song's. I'm pretty sure that the original was rcorder by a one hit wonder named, Hamilton, Joe, Frank, and Reynolds. Was this song the same guys as the Guess Who?
@abeatlesfan101-yes, the original was recorded by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds. No, the Guess Who never recorded this song. This video is from a live performance by the Grass Roots (with one original member) in 1999. Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds had a total of 3 hits on the Billboard charts. This song went to #4, "Fallin' In Love" went to #1 and "Winners And Losers" went to #21. Ron
I don't know what happend to Rob's voice but it sounds soooo different frm then ,,, I somehow dont like it much anymore. it has totally changed :( ....
What a terrific video! Love this song. There are some really great photos here. You always do such a nice job. It's a gift to the fans and a tribute to the band. Thanks again, Rhonda
Great! :)

@rnrscrapbook I am sorry to hear of his passing. The Grass Roots was such a part of my teenage years. What caused him to fall?... Was he ill?

The Grass Root and Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Reynolds had the same producer. That's why they sound sort of the same.

The Grass Roots turned this down, but only after Elvis Presley passed on it first.

It is like Rob says at the concerts, "The Grass Roots either wrote the songs, borrowed the songs or stole them." I love this! He is so awesome!!
