the Grass Roots合唱團的主唱走了

the Grass Roots合唱團的主唱Rob Grill 7月11日因腦溢血去世（67歲），本月初時他太太曾宣告Rob因肺炎感染陷入昏迷。


Rob Grill 1944年出生於好萊塢，畢業於好萊塢高中，後來他在一家名叫American Recording Studios的錄音室工作，耳濡目染之餘希望他自己也有機會入行錄歌，當the 13th Floor合唱團主唱去當兵，他掌握住機會加入了這個合唱團。他們先幫P.F. Sloan 和Steve Barri工作 ，1967年以Rob Grill領軍主唱的the Grass Roots終於以一首Let's Live For Today(#8)成名，後來他們共有13首排行榜暢銷曲，包括"Midnight Confessions" (#5-1968), "Sooner Or Later" (#9-1971), "I'd Wait A Million Years" (#15-1969), "Temptation Eyes" (#15-1971) 和"Two Divided By Love" (#16-1971)，1975年the Grass Roots聲勢開始下滑，Rob Grill個人繼續唱了4年，在1982年還以the Grass Roots之名重出歌壇，但成績平平，Rob Grill曾因止痛藥問題被補 ，還動過髖關節置換手術，但他一直到去年才因健康不佳退出表演舞台。

the Grass Roots是歷年暢銷歌星與合唱團排行榜獲得第259名的1960年代後期知名合唱團。



LET'S LIVE FOR TODAY

Grass Roots



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.
