Did anyone else have this record?

I loved the Grass …
I loved the Grass Roots when I was a teenager and I still do. The river is wide is still one of my very favorites along with Two Divided By Love! They had hit after hit after hit

Relax, Warren is singing the verse, Rob is singing the chorus. Everybody gets to be right.

This is my absolute favorite Grass Roots song…I never get tired of listening to it.

I see many mentioning Rob Grill, you realize that Warren Entner is singing lead on this song.

I saw them 5 years ago..or at least Rob anyway. He still sounds good..a bit rougher perhaps, but good just the same! I always liked the band.

Sodapop, you’re …
Sodapop, you’re right. “Temptation Eyes” and “Million Years” both should have been higher than #15. “Midnight Confession” got robbed; it should have been #1. “Bella Linda” was better than #28. And THIS song was sure better than #31. There was so much good music in that stretch (68-72) that some of it was bound to get short-changed. And saying that Marcia Brady was the most beautiful girl on TV is overlooking Laurie Partridge.

I agree as well. …
I agree as well. Grassroots were one of the best and they didn’t get the respect they deserved. Let’s Live For Today still one of my all time fav. songs! brownie

This wasx a very …
This wasx a very good production number…how it came out of a southern “sod buster” like Billy Joe Admire I don’t know. He was the most ego centric , selfless, arrogant b—–d I had ever met up till then, and I don’t think I have met another like him!(Paramount Recording Studios ‘69)

Man, you really hit …
Man, you really hit the nail on the head with your commentary 74 sodapop. This is the same reason “The Association” and the Guess Who to formulate the sound that is just so distinctive of 1968-, well, I guess the present. I mean, C’mon, how many people listen to Smokey Robinson, or the Four Tops anymore, except in some large, cities. Really. Check it out.
As a side note, I always liked Jan Brady best, but I like blondes.

This is one song …
This is one song that has stayed in my head for 40 years. We played it all the time in 1969 or 70. Just a hauntingly good song. Just great!. Hi Anita Marie if you should be watching. Remember our first game of strip poker with Patty and Larry?

Love The Grass Roots, love 3 Dog night. I could listen to these to bands all the time. This was such a fun time. I know the Vietnam war was goingon and my little brother was there, but we had a lot of fun before he went, miss the days. He came home ok, but still never the same. Thanks for posting this the song is awesome.
