The Grass Roots When moderate interest in this new "band" arose, Sloan and Barri went to look for a group (More) When moderate interest in this new "band" arose, Sloan and Barri went to look for a group that could incorporate The Grass Roots name. They found one in a San Francisco group named "The Bedouins" and cut a new version with that band's lead vocalist, Willie Fulton. In 1965, the Grass Roots got their first official airplay on Southern California radio stations, such as KGB(AM) in San Diego and KHJ in Los Angeles with a version of the Bob Dylan song, "Mr. Jones (Ballad Of A Thin Man)." For some months, The Bedouins were the first "real" Grass Roots but the partnership with Sloan and Barri broke up when the band demanded more space for their own more blues rock-oriented material (which their producers were not willing to give them). Willie Fulton, Denny Ellis and David Stensen went back to San Francisco, with drummer Joel Larson the only one who remained (he was to become a member of a later Grass Roots line-up, as well). In the meantime, the second version of "Where Were You When I Needed You" peaked at #28 in mid-1966; an album of the same name sold poorly, probably because there were no Grass Roots anymore to promote it at the time of its release. The years of success The group's third and by far most successful incarnation was finally found in a Los Angeles band, called "The 13th Floor" (not to be confused with the 13th Floor Elevators). This band consisted of Creed Bratton, Rick Coonce, Warren Entner and Rob Grill and had formed only a year earlier before submitting a demo tape to Dunhill Records. The band was offered the choice to go with their own name or choose to adopt a name that had already been heard of nationwide. They had their first top 10 hit with "Let's Live For Today" in the summer of 1967 as The Grass Roots. With Rob Grill as lead singer, they recorded a third version of "Where Were You When I Needed You." The band continued in a similar hit-making vein for the next five years. In the beginning, they were one of many U.S. guitar pop/rock bands, but with the help of Barri and their other producers, they developed a unique sound for which they drew as heavily on British beat as on soul music, rhythm and blues and folk rock. Many of their recordings featured a brass section, which was a novelty in those days among American rock bands, with groups like Chicago just developing. The Grass Roots hits of these times include "Feelings" (1968), "Midnight Confessions" (1969), "Sooner Or Later" (1971), "Temptation Eyes" (1971), "Things I Should Have Said" (1967), "Wait A Million Years" (1969), "The River Is Wide" (1969), "Baby Hold On" (1969), "Heaven Knows" (1969), "Lovin' Things" (1969), "Walking Through The Country" (1970), "Bella Linda" (1969) (composed and originally performed by Italian superstar Lucio Battisti as "Balla Linda") and "Two Divided By Love" (1972). The bulk of the band's material continued to be written by Dunhill Records staff (not only Sloan and Barri). The Grass Roots also recorded songs written by the group's musicians, which appeared on their albums and the B-sides of many hit singles. In 1969, Creed Bratton left and was replaced by Dennis Provisor on keyboards and vocals, plus rotating lead guitarists Terry Furlong and Brian Naughton to form a quintet the first of many line-up changes that the band was to be subject to. In 1971, Rick Coonce, Terry Furlong, Brian Naughton and Dennis Provisor left and were replaced by Reed Kailing, Virgil Weber and original member Joel Larson. The singer/songwriter/guitarist duo of Warren Entner (later a successful heavy metal manager) and Rob Grill remained the point of focus in all these years. [edit] The final years From 1970 on, success slipped away slowly but surely. The Grass Roots had their last top 10 hit with "Sooner Or Later" in June, 1971, and success with "Two Divided By Love" not long after. Their final two hits in 1972 were "The Runway" and "Glory Bound." Follow-up singles sold disappointingly or failed to chart altogether - it was clear that their time was over. The 1976 single, "Out In The Open," became their swan song, with the band having disbanded the previous autumn. Rob Grill remained in the music business and launched a solo career in 1979 (assisted on his solo album by several members of Fleetwood Mac). When interest in bands of the 1960s began to rise again in the 1980s, Grill reformed The Grass Roots (now as "The Grass Roots Starring Rob Grill") and toured the United States. He had continued to lead the band into the new millennium and is the voice of The Grass Roots, playing many live performances up to the present day. In 2006, former manager Marty Angelo published a book entitled, "Once Life Matters: A New Beginning" which has numerous stories about his life on the road with Rob Grill and the Grass Roots back in the early 1970s.
