The Grass Roots - More Golden Grass. That was the very first record I bought from the Grass Roots. The only song I was wanting was Heaven Knows. It was in early 1971 in Albany, Ga. I am now 63 years old and still have the More Golden Grass album. The rest is very fondly revered history to this day. While my Dad was stationed at N.A.S. Albany, Ga. I got to meet the whole group and went to several concerts at Albany Jr. College. Went to several practice sessions with them on Albany. At the concerts I had a restricted access to everything going on because I was dating the stage photographer's daughter. All this happened from early 1971 to mid 1974. I was devasted at news the about the passing of Rob in 2011. Then I find out about Rick Coonce passing but afew months before Rob. Rick was their percussionist. The last time I got to see them was at a casino in Mississippi right after Hurricaine Ivan (2004). Got their new CD and Rob signed it along with a black and white glossy pic of the whole group at that time. Rob was the front man for the Grass Roots and always very entertaining on or off stage. The rest of the guys were equally respectfull to anyone they would talk to. Rob carried the torch for the group very well and the legacy is in very good hands as they continue to be the The Grass Roots with all of the original material that has brought them fame. Rob is miss so very much. Will never be able to replace him here on earth, but he is going strong in our hearts. May God speed
