As a band the Grass Roots were always a shadowy bunch, a front for studio musicians and professional songwriters looking to get their songs on the radio. They scored 14 top 40 hits during their reign in the late '60s/early '70s and their hits were among the catchiest and most enjoyable of the AM radio era."Let's Live for Today," "Midnight Confessions," "Bella Linda," "Two Divided by Love," and a slew of others are shameless pop made brilliant by multilayered harmonies and arrangements that liberally borrowed from folk-rock and R&B. The Grass Roots may have been product, but what great product. --Rob O'Connor
Album Description:
This low-priced disc is far & away the best single-CD compilation ever issued of the Grass Roots' work, 16 chart singles covering every phase of their history, from 1966's 'Where Were You When I Needed You' (in its actual hit version) thru 'Let's Live for Today' & 'Midnight Confessions' to their last hit, 1972's 'The Runway.' Originally released in 1996. MCA.

- Cheers and a small mystery
A well-chosen collection of a decent if not spectacular rock group, lively and/or pleasant songs.I've always wondered, though, whether there was any legal trouble over the 1967 big hit "Live for Today," whose chorus sounds pretty much lifted from the Drifters' 1960 "I Count the Tears."Maybe music attorneys were less contentious back then? Or perhaps it was considered an "homage."
