OK, Sloan orginally recorded the song as the Grass Roots. It was rerecorded with Bill Fulton, Denny Ellis, David Stenson and Joel Larson of the orginal Bedouins and the hit was on the radio was with those guys. They also recorded Mr. Jones by Bob Dylan and that was a regional hit in SoCal. When they broke up, Sloan tried to hit the charts again with "Its on the Tip on my Tounge"as the Grass Roots and then Let's Live for Today...that's when Rob Grill came in for Lou Adler as the Grass Roots.

@skilski2003 Ok, so what I am trying to figure out (and bear with the 31 year old entering this conversation): Sloan wrote the song and as I understand it from the Gunga's Farm website, he recorded the vocal on the original studio version of the song. Is there a studio version with Fulton's voice on the lead vocal? Looking around the YouTubes it seems I can find 2 distinct versions of the song - distinct only because of differences in the lead vocal - orchestration is the same.

Outstanding! I knew PF Sloan wrote this one with Steve Barri, but I didn't know he sang on it, too!

skilski: Well this is skil and I was wrong on the following comment: Sloan's voice was the first heard. You are correct. Rob Grill (The Bedouins)..Grass Roots came a little bit later. Grill never sang with the Bedouins, but sang with a group called 13th Floor when Sloan heard them and asked them to record this song. Long story, eh?

The man's a genius and I enjoyed this unplugged version more than I did the studio version. Thanks.
