THE GRASS ROOTS WERE HIT MONSTERS....


The Grass Roots had a HUGE series of major hits.. "Let's Live for Today," "Midnight Confessions," "Temptation Eyes," "Two Divided by Love" and "Bella Linda" (My favorite)




They helped define the essence of my teen life listening to AM radio. Although I never even knew the names of the players... The Grass Roots managed to chart 14 Top 40 hits, including seven gold singles and one platinum single, and two had hits collections that effortlessly went gold.


One thing I did not know was there were at least three different groups involved in the making of the songs identified as being by "the Grass Roots." So I guess they were like Styx.. Session musicians making up bands perhaps... To this day I had no idea who played in that band...
