In the entire history of Rock n' Roll; only 9 bands (including The Beatles) have charted more hits on Billboard's Hot 100 than The Grass Roots.
They hold the all-time attendance record for a one act U.S. concert of 600,000 people on July 4th, 1982 in Washington, DC.
During a 6-year period (1967-1972) The Grass Roots set a record for being on the Billboard charts an unbelievable 307 straight weeks and have sold over 20 million records worldwide....

@coyotesong Wow, a petophile on the internet. Who would have guessed it. I think this song is about a guy in love with a married women not a teenager. Sick bastard.

Grass Roots were an underrated group with all their mega hits.

I was just 21 and working on the Gene McCarthy campaign in 1968. I fell for this 15 year old volunteer which i knew was crazy and impossible. But she was certainly the subject of my midnight confession.

A lot of these videos are them just play-synching to the recordings, they're not really playing anything 'live'. Also, a lot of the 'double-picking' (??) you hear could be accomplished through hammer-ons, pull-offs and other such 'slurs' and not through picking at all, or it's possible they're due to the envelope of the song, and aren't actually present by themselves. A lot of times, the interplay between drums and bass create such 'audio illusions'.

I've watched several videos of the Grass Roots and I don't believe that the bass player is really playing. That's a nice riff in midnight confession and the double picking throughout the whole song and he's not doing it. Does any of you other musicians pick up on that?

OMG. This is an exact description of my feelings for my wifes older sister. She was my first true love and I've never forgot her, but little sisters grow up We are now 45 years in the past, but the flame still burns.
