I remember them well but never got to see them.

I was "elsewhere" at the time

Actually, today they are a forgotten group - wonder if any of them are still walking this Earth.....

I remember them in Birmingham Al. at the Shower of stars they put on every year. Them. Paul Revere and the Raiders, Union Gap, Even Herman’s Hermits one year. Oh yeah The Grass Roots. One of the best groups I’ve ever heard besides The Turtles at Mississippi State touring with The Spencer Davis group.

My all time favorite group! Oddly enough, after Rob Grill passed, a close friend of my stepdaughter took Rob's place and is still part of the band that still tours.
