The "guitar" you're referring to, Amber, is actually a *sitar,* an Indian string instrument originally popularized by Ravi Shankar (Fun Fact: One of his daughters was Norah Jones), and first used in a Western Pop song, "Norwegian Wood" by The Beatles in 1965. It quickly became one of the main instruments used in Psychedelic Rock/Pop, with The Grass Roots using it in this, their very first hit song in 1967 (the year in which I was born, btw). Great, memorable song.

I had posters of him all over my bedroom walls, and I kissed him every single night! Hey Jay, he was saying I need you deep inside of me, not the other way around!! 😂.

Saw them in 2002 in concert, of course Rob was the only original member but I didn't care because he was my favorite. I saw an interview of him talking about this song being his favorite. RIP Rob, you left us way too early.

The Grass Roots were a band created by a couple of songwriters at Dunhill Records and charted hits between 1965 to 1976. They had a unique folk-rock sound but also featured two lead vocalists. A lot of the actual recordings of the instrumentation is credited to the Wrecking Crew, an elite collection of studio musicians that were behind most of the LA area recordings in those years. My favorites (in order of my personal preference): "Midnight Confessions" "Let's Live for Today" "Temptation Eyes" "Sooner or Later" "I'd Wait a Million Years" "Where Were You When I Needed You" "Two Divided by Love"

Midnight Confessions" and "Temptation Eyes" are probably my 2 favorites by The Grass Roots, who were from L.A.. You should also check out 'Lady Willpower" "Young Girl" and "Woman, Woman" by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap who were from San Diego, also in the sixties. Another group I loved from that era was Paul Revere and the Raiders. I think "Kicks" was their most popular song, but I loved "Wednesday's Child" and "Indian Reservation" sometimes called "Cherokee People".

I totally agree with you. "Temptation Eyes" and "Midnight Confessions" are my two favorite Grass Roots songs also. I actually have a double greatest hits CD of theirs and every song is great. I also have a band suggestion from the sixties era. Please check out Gerry And The Pacemakers and their songs "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying" and "Ferry Cross The Mersey". Just like The Beatles there were from Liverpool and were managed by Brian Epstein and produced by George Martin. Their lead singer Gerry Marsden had a great voice (he passed away in January of 2021).

You'll hear other recommendations for Grass Roots songs, and among them will be "Midnight Confessions," which may have been their biggest hit (if "Let's Live for Today" wasn't). But not as many will remember their first hit. It's the one that put them on our radar, and it's awesome: "Where Were You When I Needed You." From 1966. The Grass Roots had a really nice run from 1966 to about 1971 making hit records. Then they just sort of disappeared. Another good one they did was "Temptation Eyes." "Let's Live for Today" is definitely one of those songs that will instantly transport you back to the Summer of Love, 1967. Another band from this era, totally different, though, but will also transport you to the '60s is a group called The Association. Their hits include "Along Comes Mary," "Cherish" (a ballad, their biggest hit), "Never My Love." Very different vibe than the Grass Roots, but still, very '60s. Another one: The Cyrkle. Pronounced "Circle." Just two hits, but they were good ones: "Red Rubber Ball" and "Turn Down Day." Definitely worth a listen. Also from that 1966-67 time frame. A couple of one-hit wonders from that era: The Soul Survivors with a song called "Expressway to Your Heart", and The Music Explosion with their hit "Little Bit O' Soul." Finally, two more one-hit wonders that you will absolutely love: "98.6" by Keith, and "Pied Piper" by Crispian St. Peter. Trust me. Both from '66, both awesome.

Just saw the Grass Roots and The Association a couple of weeks ago in the Happy Together tour. Others in the show included The Vogues ("Five O'Clock World", "Turn Around, Look at Me"), Garry Puckett ("Young Girl", "Lady Willpower", "Woman, Woman"), The Cowsills ("Hair", "The Rain, the Park and Other Things - also known as the Flower Girl song), and of course The Turtles ("Happy Together", "She'd Rather Be With Me"). Ron Dante is the lead singer for current version of The Turtles, but his biggest hit came from another band, the 1969 number one song "Sugar Sugar" by, yes, The Archie's! They played that song as well. The Cowsills we're a family band with several brothers, a little sister, and mom...sound familiar? The Partridge Family show was based on the Cowsills. Never cared much for the Cowsills, but those two songs I listed above were huge in the late '60's. "Hair" from the musical of the same name personifies the late 1960's, while "The Rain, The Park, and Other Things" sounds like something straight from the 1967 Summer of Love. The Cowsills also sang the theme song from the 1960's television show "Love American Style".

@@caretaker158 -- Another good reason for Jay and Amber to listen to the Cyrkle is that they'll get a little music history -- the Cyrkle toured with the Beatles in 1966 as one of the opening acts, along with the Rhondells and Bobby Hebb, who recorded a great song called "Sunny," which they should also do a reaction video to. The Rhondells never made it that big here in America, but they did have one great little song called "Younger Girl," which was written by John Sebastian of the Lovin' Spoonful, another great band from this era that has received wayyyy too little attention from these reaction channels.

I was a teenager during the 60's and I think that we had some of the best music ever! I still listen to the oldies to improve my mood whenever I'm feeling down.

I think yer referring to a sitar (the twangy-ish sound), although in this song, it's just his guitar. Midnight Confessions was a cool number from The Grass Roots.

Always had a crush on Rob Grill (lead singer, bass), especially with the moustache. Midnight Confessions has to be my all time favorite song of theirs, although I like every one I ever heard.

Love the simplicity, the rhythm and the message of this song. It's all very relevant even today. One of my absolute favorites to play on my radio show. Glad you guys are reacting to The Grass Roots at last.💗

I was born in 1960 so I grew up hearing these songs but really got into music in the mid 70's and on but I just still love the guitar sound of the mid 60's to 1970, The guitars had such a unique wonderful sound. The grass Roots were definitely an American band.

First time I heard this group, it was this particular album (Grass Roots Greatest Hits). I even remember the exact date (September 15, 1973) as it was the day my big brother passed away from a car accident. I still love their music and had suggested it a few times so am glad you finally got to them. Thanks for the memories.:)

Since you love brass you are going to love so many of the Grassroots hits. This was an earlier song for them before the production style changed and they have some of the best pop rock horn songs ever written

Just saw the current iteration of The Grass Roots with the Happy Together tour. Played this one, "Midnight Confessions", "Temptation Eyes", "Sooner or Later", "Wait a million Years", "Two Divided by Love". These are all different than "Live for Today", but all are outstanding.

Been watching you two for months and really enjoy your videos. I'm 61, Canadian and have been listening to new rock since I was a toddler. I love the genuine love you show for each other and for the 60s and 70s music of my youth. Although I'm now into bands like Mod Sun, MGK and Blackbear, I still appreciate my 60s and 70s roots. I would like to suggest a couple of videos for you two old souls to listen to. The first is one that still gets me emotional every time I hear it: The Last Resort by the Eagles and the second the hilarious 1974 live performance of My Ding-a-Ling by the REAL king of rock and roll....the Great Chuck Berry
