Well it's obvious he is not playing bass here nor did he play bass on any of their hit records. (That was primarily Joe Osborne, well regarded studio musician) Still, Mr. Grill's voice and charming good looks were a big part of the Grass Roots success.

@Straydogger Major props to Rob Grill (RIP) but I'm guessing he couldn't play that fairly intense bass line and handle the vocals and work the crowd, all at the same time. I'm positive he played the bass on the studio version though and that may be his bass line backing up the live performance.

Who the heck is playing the bass runs at 1:25? It sure isn't him!

Goodbye Rob

It is with great sadness that I tell all Grassroots fans that Rob Grill died today, July 12, 2011. He was in coma for a week from a fall. He'd been in poor health for quite some time. When people wonder why old guys like Grill still play, it's not only to keep the memory of their past greatness alive, it's to keep THEM alive. Grill and co. hadn't been preforming much as of late. Got to keep busy. RIP, Rob!!

My wife and I went on an 'Oldies' cruise a couple years ago...Grassroots, Paul Revere, the Comets, the Buckinghams... wonderful week of memories on the high seas! Rob Grill is one hell of a guy...down to earth and the REAL DEAL! These guys...and countless other groups...are instrumental in making our younger days so memorable. They add to the soundtrack of our lives, folks...enjoy!
We sure as heck do! Peace!

I saw Rob Grill and The Grass Roots perform a couple of years ago in San Diego. After the concert, Rob and the group came down from the stage and intermingled with the audience. A real down to earth bunch of guys who seem to really appreciate their fans.
