The Grass Roots 1969

[ColdplayKid112]

Hahaha wow they're actually dancing. Now at concerts, people just cheer to where you cant really here the person performing, or the just pull out their iPhones and record -____-

[PootieTangsBelt]

black guy creates dance floor at 4:10

[jerseydevs2000]

Wow, you could see the beginning of the Creed's comic genius at 1:41 when he tries to play his guitar like a harp...

RIP Rob & Rick

[cforssi]

Great song and group. RIP Rob and Rick.

[FrequentlyFried]

Creed's playing my guitar!

[LousFool]

This is when I fell in love with Rob Grill. So gorgeous, and oh..that voice! Rob, I'll miss you forever. Sleep in peace my Luv.

[soxbearshwks]

R.I.P. Rob Grill

[bruiser]

RIP Rob Grill

[windstruckladyc]

these white girls sure CANT dance LOL

[JamesDHake116]

the black guy knows how to boogie

[ran6658]

Rob is certainly doing an awfully lot of swallowing to be lip syncing. And I'm sure they probably did enjoy themselves after their perfomance. Hugh Hefner had then there many times. Why is everyone so critical? I've been a fan of theirs for 40t years and I adore them. Thanks again for posting this video, Rhonda

[ArniepII]

Lip snyc at its worse!

[paragtime]

they look bored as hell, waiting for the goodies afterwards..

[ScottSchenkel]

Creed is the man!!

[teegaro]

Rob looks great and sounds great here !!!!

[HugoMasekela]

Creed kind of looks like Tarantino.

[ran6658]

Love The Grass Roots! I've been a fan for 40t years. It's always nice to see another one of their videos posted even if there are 10 others just like it. They all have a different perspective. Thanks so much for posting this, Rhonda

[skyline2343]

Warren is great too! He and Rob were a hard combination to beat.

[Bhaktigirl22]

@skyline2343

Amen! A sexier pair of frontmen would be hard to find..... :) And they were both such GREAT singers! :)

[skyline2343]

Great Video!

[wouldntyoulike2know]

Hurray for Rob without his moustache!!! :D 

[wickedenchanter]

Oh, wow! How I miss the '60's. In so many ways. But seriously, where were all those trumpet and harp players!

[gary56victor57]

I LOVE THE GRASS ROOTS!! The BEST pop group EVER!!! I have everyone of their singles (7" RPMs), I love when everyone just, jumps up on cue & start dancing & of course the only black guy, is the best dancer! PS I like the comment from "oOMadhuriOo" "Rob Grill used to look so hot', well, we can't stay pretty forever, he's in his 60's now. Creed was cute looking too & now look at him. What can you do, they are still AMAZING! Peace Gary in PA USA.

[kyolym]

The guitarist at the very far left is Creed Bratton from the T.V show The Office

[LOKISlog7]

Very underrated Rock Legends

[KellyGiftShop]

This is the EPITOME of the 60's!! AWESOME!

[daygloman]

In my midnight confessions, when I'm tellinh the WORLD that I love you....

[maxbatch70]

they were very popular here in the Philipines in the year 1968 & 69, especially the song 'midnight confession' but my favorite is 'bella linda' i was high school at that time, and full of dreams and fantastic imagination

[gernblensten]

nice lip synching ha ha

[ModGirl1967]

Warren Entner was such a hottie...I'll bet Barbi Benton standing there w/"old Hef" was checking him out...

On Midnight Confessions, at the point the music stops and he says/sings "I love you" still gets me...ummMMM!!!

[farwayout]

WOW, check out brotherman @4:10, now that's what I call boogeying and GETTIN DOWN!!!!!

[oOMadhuriOo]

Wow, Rob Grill used to look so hot ... and I love the song ... The Grass Roots were brilliant. I have never heard abt them before, just found the midnight confessions video by chance on youtube and fell in love with their music. I have asked my dad if he remembers whether the band was very successful he said the name rings a bell but he cudnt remember any specific song. Well, they werent too popular in germany but for me they are my heroes :p ...

[BobbyColePopMusic]

@oOMadhuriOo . The Grass Roots were very popular starting in 1966 through 1971.

[oOMadhuriOo]

@BobbyColePopMusic

But they were only popular in the US. Nowhere else. Big mistake by their managers and by the group itself. Rob Grill once said that they were offered to tour abroad but they refuse because the dollar signs were not big enough. Bad luck. I don't know what went wrong with their promotion but it's like they have never existed. There are hardly videos, just a few pictures and NO information on them at all... For that the group holds a record their legacy is really poor.

[robgrillfan]

@oOMadhuriOo HI THATS HOW I HEARD OF THEM I SAW A VIDEO AND I STARTED TO LISTEN TO THEM ROB IS A HOT GUY BACK THEN.

[graphiqgirl]

@oOMadhuriOo OMG!!! The GrassRoots were the SHIT!!!

I was born in 64 and ALL of my best memories seem to always have had their music playing in the background!!!! There are SO MANY MORE SONGS YOU NEED TO DISCOVER OF THEIRS!!!!

[w9x7cv3vg6]

@oOMadhuriOo midnite confessions was one of my fav tunes from 1968,my hayday with the girlfiends haha

[skyline2343]

@oOMadhuriOo  Rob still is a handsome man- and a very talented singer and musician!

[WileERobby]

@oOMadhuriOo The Grass Roots were a HIT MACHINE from the late 60's through the early 70's... immensely popular ! My band covered these 2 tunes of theirs . I saw them live & they were a fantastic performance. They were at the top of the heap during that period of Top 40 radio, for sure.

[oOMadhuriOo]

Wow, Rob Grill used to look so hot ... and I love the song ... The Grass Roots were brilliant.

[doglips1958]

WAY underrated band that had a slew of GREAT songs

[BHH10]

A great post - always loved the Grass Roots. Thanks!

[Sabros57]

That is creed Braton from the office!!!!

:):)

[urgdaddy]

This rocked at the Hef Mansion in the 70's. You can see Hef in the video and even Barbee Benton. She made an early porno but Hef quickly pulled it. Bella Linda is one of my favorites,...has a certain French/Italian mode with the English rock behind it.

[rorygg1]

this band rules. i wish there was a live version of house of stone. they rock, awesome stuff

[pretorious700]

these guys did some gay shit and some good songs too

[kingbacon]

Oh man. That's Creed Bratton(From The Office) in the white flowered shirt at the beginning.How depressing to get old.

[katspears]

Bella Linda... great song!!!!!!!!

[MegaScenario]

Who's the dork in the tux? Looks like he got lost on the way to a taping of the Lawrence Welk Show.

[rorygg1]

the dork is old faggot face hugh hefner. this is from playboy after dark tv show. bunch of old farts with lots of money tryng to score some tail. there is a great canned heat performance from this show. the grassroots rule

[pdafarm]

Love this group...they came to Mt. Hood Community College(Gresham, Oregon) in 1969 to do a concert...poorly advertised...about 400 people showed up...so what did they do?? They threw a "sock hop"....did about 90 minutes and it was awesome!!!

[teebee54]

We procreate thru our love for good looks.If it wasn`t for bands like this mankind would be defunkt!

[Nightsat44]

Well said my friend!!......i don't know what that means but well said...

[BobbyColePopMusic]

That dancer was Byron Gilliam. He was a regular on this show and also performed at times. He was also regular on the first season of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-in.

He was a professional dancer and probably the best free style dancer that ever lived. He also choreographed dances from the Banana Split show.

He also looks like Jesse Jackson.

[Teletone1]

Thanks Bobby! Hef knows everyone! By the way. Bella Linda is a great great tune.

[Nightsat44]

Check out the dancing guy at 4:10. Top 10 reasons he is so happy!

10) HE GONNNA GET SOME WHITE BOOTY TONIGHT

9) THE ACID JUST KICKED IN

8) HEF JUST CALLED HIM BRO

7) HE JUST GOT THE PART AS LINCOLN HAYES ON THE MOD SQAUD

6) HEY! HE FEEEEEEELS GOOD!!!!

[Nightsat44]

4) HIS EYES FINALLY STOPPED BURNNING FROM THE PRELL THAT A BUNNY TOLD HIM TO USE FOR HIS FRO!

3) IT'S BETTER THAN SHA NAH NAH AT WOODSTOCK

2) HE'S JUST TRYING TO BLEND IN

1) HE JUST REALIZED MIDNIGHT CONFESIONS IS A SONG AND HE WON'T BE INTERIGATED ABOUT THE LIQUOR STORE HE ROBBED LAST FRIDAY NIGHT.

[Nightsat44]

Great Tune!!

[kentcrawf]

love the silver face state of the art gear for that time ...as a recording artist..i would like to record a song like bella linds superp feel good trance melody.

[Nightsat44]

I agree with you %100!! Great great well written song

[57highland]

You're right. This is a great though nearly forgotten song. January 1969.

[BobbyColePopMusic]

You are correct.

[rjchstoner]

I think this was filmed at the "Playboy" mansion

[Cameragirl803]
