Less than 10 years old, I would ride along my brother Ronnie, the COOLEST brother a guy could ever have, no argument. It was either a Camaro RS, one of his Vettes, or my favorite, the Anniversary Edition Trans Am (454 4bbl dual exhaust 4 sp, he once told me "Nobody beat me".) with the Gold bird on the hood. It didn't matter, he would have the 8 track or cassette or radio on LOUD and these guys would be playing their hearts out on MANY a blessed occasion. Nowadays, Ronnie rules the racetracks and dragstrips in heaven and STILL nobody beats him.
I was a teenager, I played guitar, and spent many hours learning these songs to play in my band every friday and saturday. Best years of my life. Make sure you recognize the best years of your life and savor them.
The 60s and 70s! A glorious time to be young and alive. Nothing was impossible and the future looked bright. The world was ours. The music supported a Positive Mental Attitude.

Buddy they are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the name of the group is called The Wrecking Crew they're the ones that played these tracks that's why they're the ones in the Hall of Fame they've played many different artist tracks these bums couldn't play those tracks if their life depended on it they were singers mainly
@@singluna888 jealous of what that the wreck and crew of the musicians and the guys in the Grassroots that sang were bums as musicians what's there to be jealous about it's a fact
I had the biggest crush on Rob Grill and my bestie had a crush on Warren Entner. We got to meet them at a concert in the late 60’s. They were so sweet to us young teens. And they were more gorgeous in person!! We got their autographs and gave them stupid ropes made out of folded chewing gum paper. LOL! They were the same length as their height. Bless their hearts…they probably thought what the heck are these things! But they were gracious and sweet. Great memories….❤❤❤❤
THEY DID NOT WRITE MOST OF THEIR OWN SONGS . READ UP BEFORE YOU MAKE STATEMENTS ....EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T WRITE THEIR BIGGEST HITS I STILL LOVE THIS BAND AND ROB GRILL IS ONE MY HEROES ... ...
The Grass Roots - one of the best bands EVER! This video takes me back to my high school days when life was so much easier and less complicated. The Grass Roots "Golden Grass" 8-track tape played over and over again in my hopped-up '65 Mustang. I'd give anything to go back to the 60's & 70's
@@aliceoz1397 How is it cool when every other person has them, including grannies, dweebs, slobs, criminals, dimwits, etc.? Even most cops are tattooed these days. Yeah, 'sheeple' are so "cool", 'edgy' and 'original'. LOL! Of course, not everyone with tattoos are losers, but nearly every loser has them.
Every video I’ve seen of these guys looks like they are having fun and genuinely like each other and get along - especially Rob and Warren. Dennis is always smiling. They seem to have some inside jokes, especially where they are lip syncing. Turtles (for sure) and Sweet seemed to enjoy themselves as well. As opposed to, say, the Eagles, who never looked happy to me for one second. Fleetwood Mac are awesome musicians but, except for Christine McVie and Mick Fleetwood, also seemed to have some pent-up issues with each other and we all know why or think we know anyways.
Gorgeous looking men and their voices-harmonies, talk about romantic lyrics too, I think I just fell in love 🥰 haha! Remember this tune, when it came out, I was just a lil’ girl…❤…
The backing musicians on the recorded 'Midnight Confessions' was The Wrecking Crew, with the great Carol Kaye playing the bass and the most recorded drummer in history(so far) the legendary Hal Blaine.
@@boydx4687 there are 7 musicians playing the brass parts, I don't know their names offhand. I'm sure you could find it on Google or Wikipedia. Yes those horns really beef up the song!
I love the fact that they were singing live in this one. Sounded much better than the record version and dennis provisor just added so much to the harmonies of the group. I am sad that I was born too late to see them perform in this combo.
A time when people appreciated each other and Times were more Special somehow than today when everyone seems so different - Music like this makes me want to live in the past!Sad to say but True!
Watching this video and hearing the songs is the only time machine I need! I was 13 yrs old in 1970 when I convinced (begged) my parents to see The Grass Roots perform at a local venue -- The Stadium. I had a crush on Rob Grill. Watching this video ... I still do!
Great song & memories. In the summer of 1980,The rock station in Duluth, MN, KQDS-95, had this on their frequent rotation. They still play it every so often.
Holy crap, after watching a bunch of GR videos that were lip-synched, I about gave up. Then here's this one where they sing live and sound great. Thanks.

Absolutely without a doubt.
And Grand Funk Railroad too!
How are they NOT??
this music is gone forever.
WE ARE IN HALF AGREEMENT
Midnight Confession is one of my all time favorites. Great song.
Mine too.
Me too.
Same
Ditto. Classic song .So lucky to grow up then.
Singers don’t have these kind of voices anymore.
Listen to the Sheepdogs!
They do. Try expanding your taste. Plenty of great bands that excel in this old style of music.

Great memories… I just lost my wonderful brother in a car accident. 😢
The 70s were greatly underrated by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame I can think of at least a dozen groups it should be in
Yea the obvious is Bad Company..lol Bad Finger, The Guess Who! A ton more..Yes you are so right!
Who’s listening to this in 2024? You have great taste in music!
Who are you?

Nice, they are singing live. No lipsinc ❤ take notes kids. This is talent 👏I forgot how cute they were.
Haha! Yes they were. AND we were ALL cute in our 20s!
Gorgeous
This kind of show was almost always lip-synced in those days...
Plus.. no botox and spray tans!
I met them at DFW Airport. Hilton Hotel.

The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame is a joke. It's a disgrace that this band is not there.
Buddy they are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the name of the group is called The Wrecking Crew they're the ones that played these tracks that's why they're the ones in the Hall of Fame they've played many different artist tracks these bums couldn't play those tracks if their life depended on it they were singers mainly
I agree and the other guys reply reeks of jealousy.
It’s all a joke. It’s politics and whoever’s anal vapors Jann Wenner gets high on.

One thing I didn't like about ed sullivan...it was on sunday night...and had to go back to school the next day
They have good voices
These hairstyles are really cute. They all look very handsome.

Oh what sweet memories. To go back for just a little while 🥀
Such a handsome and healthy looking group of guys! Studs!❤
My friends older brother was the Grass Roots road manager back in the early 70’s. My friend met the GR band and took pictures with them.
.... this was in another life , Im different now , but i enjoyed the ride back to when things were easier...
The Grass Roots & Three Dog Night were two of the best bands in the 1970s! I still love to hear their great songs! Thanks! 💖
I agree!
two of my fave pop bands
I am not for this era. I love it and I have collected their music. No autotune Great talent. My era had great music
The Grass Roots, Three Dog Night, and The Rascals -- the best of the best. I can listen to these three groups all day, every day.
@@missmaggie6214 listing to them now maggie
Warren and Grill were a perfect blend of voices.
First heard this in Vietnam as a scared 18 year old upon arrival at Danang. Still get chills when it’s played!
The group of the 60's and 70's were the best
I'm still listening to them! Midnight Confession is my favorite!
So good looking ❤
One of the best bands of all time. F the HOF.
R.I.P Rob Grill!...Gone to soon!!
I grew up listening to them . Four great vocalist and wrote their own songs Saw them live
THEY DID NOT WRITE MOST OF THEIR OWN SONGS . READ UP BEFORE YOU MAKE STATEMENTS ....EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T WRITE THEIR BIGGEST HITS I STILL LOVE THIS BAND AND ROB GRILL IS ONE MY HEROES ... ...
RIP Rob Grill!
My husband and I turn 70 this year. I love this song. I agree 70s music is the best. Enjoy 70 🎉❤
This sure brings back memories of better music and better times. I'm so glad I lived when I did.
You sure are right
The grass roots. We’re never on the Ed sillivan show
Me to brother. I'm 61 I would love to go back. Best wishes to you.

Agree. Society in general smiled a lot more back in those days. We were just happier.
you do see it tho

Wow. I forgot these guys. They're fabulous. Very spiritual. Maybe they were ahead of the times.
Forgot? Coma?
Another one of my favorite bands...good music back then...
The best era of music is the late sixties and early seventies.
YUP
@@caesarvalentin6332 u hot that right 👍 😔
My favorite band growing up in the 60's and 70's. I'm 70 now and still listening.
My favorite Grass Roots songs all bundled up together. First time seeing this, love how happy they all look.

Talk about some good lookin guys. Damn! They don't make them like this anymore and sing. Outstanding talent.
Agree.
I'm 77 now but still notice what good looking groups we had once upon a better time.
The Best & the greatest looking band ever 😆 my
Never forget Rare Earth too.
I say it every day, glad I grew up when I did. Best time in history. Thanks mom and dad
The Ed Sullivan Show was so great.
Nothing on TV now can compare!
At least you got truly live performances. Same with Midnight Special.
Besides singing the happiest music the Grass Roots are the best looking Band in history! They are the best!
Grass Roots, so great! One of the great bands that filled the 1970's with beautiful music!
Actually they killed it starting late 1960's, (1968) & phased out in the early 1970's
Rob Grill had a great voice!
And he’s so darn sexy!! Ooof!! ❤
From a Gen X’er, these guys were absolutely FANTASTIC!
Gorgeous looking men and their voices-harmonies, talk about romantic lyrics too, I think I just fell in love 🥰 haha!

Real Music 🎧🎤🎹🥁🎸!
This clip blows me away every time I watch it. Just beautiful.
I love you beautiful Leah remini ❤❤❤
Just to bad you didn't get the full video. Time just flew by to darn fast...✌💖
Interesting group. Good writing and ensemble singing, and they win the award for “best looking band in the 60s”…
Memories ❤
RIP Rob & Christian Grill 🙌🏼✨💕🎸
Good stuff!!
The backing musicians on the recorded 'Midnight Confessions' was The Wrecking Crew, with the great Carol Kaye playing the bass and the most recorded drummer in history(so far) the legendary Hal Blaine.
The producers insisting on using the wrecking crew is one of the reasons Creed left the band.
I always liked the horns in the backgrounds. Anyone know who played the horn parts?
@@boydx4687 there are 7 musicians playing the brass parts, I don't know their names offhand. I'm sure you could find it on Google or Wikipedia. Yes those horns really beef up the song!
Some say the bass in Midnight Confessions is Joe Osborn. But nevertheless shine with their own light
@@boydx4687two of the horn players were Dick "Slyde"Hyde who recently passed away and Jim Horn probably the most recorded sax player in Hollywood.
I miss the Ed Sullivan Show! So many wonderful acts and music.🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Vocally, one of the best groups in all of pop rockdom.
I've heard this song forever it's nice to get to see what the band looks like - thanks youtube
First heard this song when l was twenty, that was 57 years ago and it sounds as good as ever.❤ to Linda.

Aí que voz mais linda !
I do so very much remember this song as a teenager. Music helped set us all free.
Rob Grille’s voice is terrific!
I’ll take this three minutes over a Taylor concert any day
I'd rather listen to my septic tank being pumped out, than hear the "not too Swift."
I loved this line-up with Dennis Provisor added to the group on keyboards. He would add so much to their vocals later.
Dennis Provisor is great

I was 17 and remember it well. Their music never gets old.
Danced to these guys Grad Night at Disneyland 1972.... Tomorrowland stage....Epic...
This song is played in the opening credits of the Apple TV+ streaming series Pachinko, season 2. The first season played "Let's Live for Today."
As a teenager, I loved this type of music even to this day as a baby boomer
Dam this is real music! 🦾🎙️🎸
What a Fantastic Rock Group from a time that we will never see again ever PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What beautiful voices! Always loved those songs, but never till now realized just how beautiful their voices were.
