Grass Roots - Let's Live For Today (color)

What's a Creed....Very funny, Mr. Durante

The Grass Roots were the first band I ever saw live. It was on my 16th birthday. I'm 66 now. I'll never forget it. The Band that played with them was the Raspberries.

Just airbrushed the lyrics of this song on a T-shirt, cried all thru the painting of it; dedicated to my new wife; she complained about the lyrics!

This song was byThe ROKES….the GRASS ROOTS were a made up MONKEYS type band…..all cover songs by professional songwriters…..Rob Grille was a fake!

This song is old but a masterpiece in any era

👌

Wish they'd played LIVE, instead of lip synching.

Why was Durante introducing them?????

Stupenda

CREED!!! :)

One of The Grass Roots best songs ever but love all the songs they have sung !Saw them in concert 2 or 3 times in my life ! I am going on 66 years old !

Try to listen to the original Piangi con me Italian song by The Rokes

Jimmy Durante introducing the Grass Roots! How cool!

Really great song and performance! These guys really got down in the trenches with the song crafted it amazingly well

I had just recently discovered this song I fell in love with the song the first day I heard it well actually when I heard the beginning guitar rifts

Creed:)

Introduced by the one and only schnozolla himself Jimmy Durante.

The Office's Creed Bratton

Song written by Shel Shapiro, english songwriter, guitarist, pianist, vocalist, leader of group The Rokes, English band emigrated in Italy in the Sixties.

Shel Shapiro in un' intervista disse che questa sua canzone, dal titolo "Piangi Con Me" (la prima versione fu infatti italiana dato che i Rokes allora lavoravano in Italia), doveva arrivare negli USA interpretata proprio dai suoi Rokes in versione inglese. Ma invece, lui non sa come andò esattamente, il provino fu sentito dai Grass Roots che così la incisero per primi (questa del video), vendendo un bel pò di copie. Quando uscì la versione dei Rokes di Shapiro, era praticamente troppo tardi, perché furono i Grass Roots a "fare il botto" negli USA. E il disco dei Rokes quindi fece fiasco oltre Oceano...

Wow, Jimmy Durante. Such a blast from the past

Does anyone know I w what year this was?

I'm 16 years old bout be 17 in December and this song is one of the greatest songs I've heard from 1967 besides Elvis Presley Big Boss Man and Tommy James and the Shondells I think We're Alone Now

Live for today while you plan for tomorrow.
Or don't cry to me when tomorrow shows up empty handed.

Tomorrow has a habit of becoming today, then yesterday very fast.
Enjoy today while you prepare for tomorrow.

So soulfull so sensual talking about the love between a man and woman priceless... yeah the 60s and 70s did that hopefully we will have that once again 🌼🍄🌿☮️✌🏻

When you been a single person for many years in life ( a bachelor) it gets difficult when you reach out and love is not there yes suicidal thoughts sometimes. Life is very rough without love but peaceful and quiet. The sadness comes a person can go through a long lifetime without love from birth to 100 years old. I did know of a person like that. Yeah he was 100 years old and he had no love ever in his lifetime no girlfriend or no marriage 100 years WOW he did live a very long life 💙

Love, love, love this song!!! 😁😄

They didn't have any bad songs

I wonder what he stole from the set

lov'ittttttt!!! <3

Creed from The Office 😮

As a US Air Force brat, The Grass Roots came to the based where I lived, when I was 14-15 years old, to perform for Air Force personnel. I was able to get 2 left over tickets for myself and a close friend. Cost me $2.00. They performed in an air plane hanger. 65 years old now and still love their music. Wish we had music like this today.

This Song and Laugh Laugh were the best songs of this era

What are those guitars?

Creed!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Saw them at Epcot probably around 2007. They were still great

When I think of all the worries that people seem to find
And how they're in a hurry to complicate their minds
By chasing after money and dreams that can't come true
I'm glad that we are different, we've better things to do
When others plan their future, I'm busy loving you

One, two, three, four

Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today
Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, ay-ay-ay
Shah-la, la-la-la-la live for today (live for today)

We were never meant to worry the way the 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

Two, three, four

Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today, ay-ay-ay
Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, ay-ay-ay
Shah-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
And baby, please, come close to me
I've got to have you now, please, please, please, please

Gimme some lovin', just gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin', just gimme some lovin'
Baby, gimme some lovin', just gimme some lovin'
I got to have all your love (gimme some lovin')
Babe, I need all your love (gimme some lovin')
And now I need all your lovin' (la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today
Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, ay-ay-ay
Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today (no, no, no, no)
Shah-la, la-la-la-la, live for today...
