  • Rob Grill IS one of the most underrated bass players of the era......Its a travesty I know he really influenced my playing...May he rest in peace.....

  • Simply awesome.

  • Rob Grill was the soul of that group. the group he formed after the originals broke up did a really good job. Just wish some of the originals would jump back in. The new lead singer just doesnt have the same sound as Rob.

  • @atp1962 Yes, it's sad that the GR's have no remaining early members, except for Dusty Hanvey, who has been with them since '84.  Mark Dawson is now the permanent lead singer since Rob's death last year.

  • It was such easier times and great music. Thanks guys for being a big part of my life growing up. I listen to you everyday. RIP Rob.

  • I may be the only 9th grader wearing flared jeans and blasting this after school.

  • @kingofpop1231 Cool! And you're NOT the only one, I hear from high school kids all the time that are into 60's and 70's music ;-)

  • now, I've heard of guitar players playing all over a song but, keyboard players doing it vocally? Kidding,.its beyond innocent, my grade school days, fun to listen too.A talented band as all members have unique voices, like the eagles.Keyboard player has a great range/tone & voice thats begging to sing lead.

  • Looks like the late Bob Ross (painter) on the drums :)

  • LOVE, ?

  • when the music was really music

  • I was singing the main line all night in my sleep. I got up and played it to get it out of my head. Great video. Thanks for posting.

  • I have always loved the Grass Roots! I love every song they did!

  • Great video. I really like the part wenn Dennis Provisor sings. He ist such an amazing singer. 

  • What a jewel.  Thank you for the upload.

  • can someone put names to the faces for me?

  • @Bluebird9021 Kenny Rogers introducing....Rob Grill on lead vocals and bass, Dennis Provisor on keyboard and vocals, Warren Entner on rhythm guitar, Joe Larson on drums, and I think it was Reed Kailing here on lead guitar.

  • @bze2nlz4 thanks :-)

  • With the better quality I can tell for certain now that Rick is definitely NOT on drums. Secondly, whoever is drumming certainly is NOT drumming....

  • @DiscoKat I forgot to add that this was from '72. Rick left the year before and Joel Larson took over. Just the vocals are live, so he isn't really drumming :)

  • LIVE...can you believe the qualtiy?

    what a terrific song and true Americana...

    Grass Roots a big part of my growing up.

    we salute the great pop history of the U S A

  • Great song from the Grass Roots! Love the live performance! (I made a vid for the song too, but just still pics) This is wonderful Chris, thank-you for posting in high quality :)

  • R.I.P. Rob Grill

  • These guys sounded very much like Three Dog Night and even looked similar.

  • RIP Rob, One of my favorite songs ever when growing up.

  • Classic song, great video quality! Thanks for the memories :)

  • He (Rob Grill) very handsome man. He was the perfect frontman for The Grass Roots! He passed on too soon. Sad!

  • @rwells47 -- Coool -- Kenny Rogers AND The Grass Roots in one video! The quality of the video and audio is stellar, bze2!! Many thanks to both of you for getting this vid to me! Straight to my 70's Faves!! Cheri/CCF

  • @ChrisCurtisFan You are very welcome, Cheri! This is one of my very favorites, too :)

  • Thank you for this clean picture and sound recording of a often overlooked gem from the Grass Roots, greatly appreciated !

  • Love the grass roots - so sad to hear that Rob passed away!

  • RIP Rob Grill...

  • Thanks for posting this song! I am a die hard Grass Roots fan and they still rock the house!

  • This is the best version of this video I've seen, not to put any of the others down because I'm always happy to watch any of them. But the sound and picture are really great. Thanks so much for posting, Rhonda

  • @ran6658 You are welcome, Rhonda, and thanks for your nice comment :D

  • Thanks Chris- this is an excellent video! Thanks so much for sharing it!  Ron

  • thanks buddy!!

  • Just added this classic rock song to my favorites!

  • Well, I stayed true to my promise. This is definately a great video you posted. I was about 8 or 9, I'd say, when I first heard this song. I think my grandmother bought the single. See, every year, on my birthday, my grandmother would buy me a whole bunch of singles (ones I've requested). So even at a young age I had an appreciation for good music. This is definately a classic!!

    Thanks Chris for posting this, and enjoy your weekend :)
