I've been trying to locate DVDs with the Grassroots performing and especially this song. You said 2 years ago that you bought a dvd with "Come on and Say It" on it, could you tell me the name of the dvd please?? Thanks :)

On this day in 1970 {October 3rd} the Grass Roots performed "Come On and Say It" on the late Dick Clark's American Bandstand... One month earlier on September 19th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it peaked at #61 and spent 6 weeks on the Top 100... Bassist and lead singer "Rob" Grill passed away on July 11th, 2011 at the age of 67... R.I.P. Mr. Grill and Mr. Clark...

It's not a phone number, it's a production code and time stamp...often seen on old tv video tapes, not meant for public distribution.

@bze2nlz4 Thanks, I would appreciate it. I know in Oct. 1970 they were on the Andy Williams show and American Bandstand.

Thank you for sharing. I love these rare videos. You can hear Rob Grill's great voice. Glad to see both Dennis and Warren too.

@lovedthe60s He loved that Daniel Boone-style suede jacket with the fringe...wore it a lot. Was another popular 60's hippie garment :)

@cforssi Neither...it is Terry Furlong on lead. Kailing and Knighton weren't in the lineup until a couple years later.

This is one of my favorite songs. Who is that playing guitar? Reed Kailing or Reggie Knighton?

@ran6658 I didn't know that he had lost a son. Freddy Weller, of Paul Revere and the Raiders lost his only son a few years back. I have a son, also, and I can only imagine the heartbreak. My heart goes out to both men.

@marciabrdy I read an article from a couple weeks ago that Rob was hospitalized for pneumonia and a collapsed lung. I can't remember the name of the guy who is standing in for him...if you do a search here 'Grass Roots Lets Live For Today 2010' there is a July clip of this guy in Rob's place :(
