The Grass Roots are a U.S. rock band that charted between 1966 and 1975 as the brainchild of songwriting duo P. F. Sloan and Steve Barri.

In their career, The Grass Roots achieved one platinum album, two gold albums, one gold single and charted singles a total of 21 times. Among their charting singles, they achieved top ten 3 times, top twenty 3 times and top forty 8 times.

Between 1967 and 1972, The Grass Roots set a record for being on the Billboard charts for 307 straight weeks. They have sold over twenty million records worldwide.

Early member Rob Grill and a newer lineup of The Grass Roots continue to play many live shows each year. The band released a new live album chronicling their fourteen Top 40 Billboard hits titled Live Gold in 2008.

As The Grass Roots, they had their first Top 10 hit in the summer of 1967 with "Let's Live For Today" (an English-language cover version of "Piangi con me", a 1966 hit for the Italian quartet The Rokes). "Let's Live For Today" sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.

Robert Frank "Rob" Grill (November 30, 1943 -- July 11, 2011) was the lead singer, songwriter and bass guitarist of the rock and roll band, The Grass Roots.

Grill died July 11, 2011 in an Orlando, Florida hospital. He had been in a coma since sustaining a head injury several weeks earlier when he fell after suffering a stroke in northern California. He was 67.

Lyrics:

When I think of all the worries people seem to find

And how they're in a hurry to complicate their mind

By chasing after money and dreams that can't come true

I'm glad that we are different, we've better things to do

May others plan their future, I'm busy lovin' you (1-2-3-4)

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today

And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey, hey, hey

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today

Live for today

We were never meant to worry the way that people do

And I don't need to hurry as long as I'm with you

We'll take it nice and easy and use my simple plan

You'll be my lovin' woman, I'll be your lovin' man

We'll take the most from living, have pleasure while we can (2-3-4)

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today

And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey, hey, hey

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today

Live for today

Baby, I need to feel you inside of me

I got to feel you deep inside of me

Baby please come close to me

I got to have you now, please, please, please

Gimme some-a lovin', gimme some-a lovin'

Gimme some-a lovin', gimme some-a lovin'

Baby gimme some-a lovin'

Gimme some-a lovin, I need all your lovin'

Gimme some-a lovin, I need all your lovin'

Give me some love, now

I need all your lovin'

Sha la la la la la

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today

And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey, hey, hey

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today.

This is not the recording that reached #8 in 1967. Pretty decent remake though.

In response to Tobacco 22. I have always been self driven, not naturally gifted but made up for it with the will to achieve HONESTLY!! Now 58 years old and single for 20 years I kinda wish I had lightened up when I was younger. All I did was make people a lot of money and wear myself out. I have always enjoyed their music. You can't live on love alone but u can't talk to or hold achievements. Somewhere in this there must be balance!!!!

This song exhibits lack of ambition and aimlessness. This song is not good to listen to for anyone who is interested in hard work, ambition, and a desire to achieve something worthwhile.
