      Me, I was born in 1960. And I love this music. It's hard to say what was better the 60s music or the 70s music really. So very many amazing groups from the 60s like the Stones ,The Moody Blues, the Bee Gees The Beatles just never-ending massive talent really. And I love the 70s with groups like Aerosmith, Kiss, Boston, Kansas, all those really good Motown groups. Just so much fantastic music. Music is the best what would we do without it ?

    One of my earliest memories as a kid. Rob "Bob" Grill was a friend of my dad's and they use to fish together when Bob was a starving musician living in his car. We moved from California to Oregon and the Grass Roots played at the Coliseum. A limo pulled up to our little house and Bob and the band came over for dinner with the opening act, Three Dog Night!!!

I enjoyed their music then and now , they are in my playlist as so many from the 60's and 70's my list is like 200 + and don't think it goes higher on U tube.

In southern cal, we were listening to KHJ (an AM station that played all the current, mainstream stuff) for driving and FM (KMET, little bit of heaven 94.7 KMET, a deedle dee). The FM stations played whole albums like Dark Side of the Moon. Wow. I love my 60s pop; but, had strayed into new areas. Still, great song.

    71/ graduated from high school, listened to my tunes/Craig 8-track cruising in my 66 GTO 389 V-8 6 pack carbs,hooker headers fat tires on the back, car was a monster! In 70 it cost me $1200. 28k on odometer. Never thought I'd see 30 years old so I lived fast and hard until 1988 at near 35 I saw that light. Too stubborn to die.
    I tip my hat to those who are no longer with us here that were then.
    Wish you still were.
    Bless You All

      Great car. My 1st car was a 1967 Mustang 289 Cubic Inch, 4 speed. Wish I had it back. Totaled it out while I was in the United States Marine Corps at Camp LeJeune NC.

      Got to see them twice! Almost 3 decades apart! 1971 At Allegany College in Cumberland, Maryland, Years later I saw them in the late 1990's or early 2000's in Pittsburgh, playing for the radio station WWWS's annual, oldies concert ! Rob was the lead singer for both! What a talent! They also did some touring with The Turtles, 3 Dog Night, Frankie Valli, Martha Wilson, Mark Lindsy, just to name a few!

    Hey ClayTamm, thanks for the nice compliment. Yes, we boomers enjoyed great songs, but youtube also shares these great moments for all to see and hear. Thank goodness. Back when I was a teen, we had to hope and wait for the D-jay to play or replay, over the airwaves, our fav-tunes. Sometimes waiting for days or weeks to hear it again. Today, tune delivery, is sooooo much greater. Just instantly. But ,no regrets. Just that technology was lacking then. 1953 was a good year for me. I was born at a good time. GPM-53.

    I saw the Grass Roots at a little venue in northern Minnesota. Playing a little bar in the woods with a big log amphitheater. Met a girl there and danced the night away. I remember this song so well from that night. What a memory of a great night and great music. Still go back to that time everytime I hear this song.
