One of the most listened to voices on radio from the mid 1960s through the early 1970s
belongs to The Grass Roots lead vocalist, Rob Grill.
Now, nearly 30 years later, one of the most recognized voices on Classic Rock stations
(one of the strongest formats in radio today) continues to be that of Rob Grill. During all
that time, Rob Grill and The Grass Roots have averaged over 100 live performances each
year.
Rob is a native of Hollywood, California where he attended Hollywood High School.
Soon after graduation, Rob began working at American Recording Studios with some of
his musician friends; Cory Wells and John Kay who later formed 3 Dog Night
Steppenwolf, respectively. Convinced to start his own band, Rob and 3 others formed
The Grass Roots. Teaming up with mega-hit producer Steve Barri (The Mamas & The
Papas, Tommy Roe, Four Tops and Dusty Springfield), The Grass Roots went on to
chart 29 singles; 13 of which went gold followed by 2 gold albums and 1 platinum
album. Their CD, The Grass Roots Anthology on Rhino Records, was released in 1993
and remains a strong seller today.
Here are some impressive facts about The Grass Roots:
1. In the entire history of Rock n Roll, only 9 bands (including The Beatles) have
charted more hits on Billboards Hot 100 than The Grass Roots.
2. The Grass Roots have appeared on over 50 national television shows including,
The Tonight Show, The Today Show, Ed Sullivan, Andy Williams,
Sonny & Cher, Good Morning America, VH1 Hit-Makers, MTV, and a
record 16 times on Dick Clarks American Bandstand.
3. The Grass Roots hold the all-time attendance record for a one act, US concert of
600,000 people on July 4th, 1982 in Washington, DC.
4. During a 6-year period (1967-1972) The Grass Roots set a record for being on the
Billboard charts an unbelievable 307 straight weeks!
5. The Grass Roots have sold over 20 million records worldwide.
While not in the midst of touring, Rob spends his time off at home in central Florida with
his wife, Nancy, a local radio personality. When touring, Rob sounds stronger today than
he did when he recorded all those great Grass Roots hits. Combine that with the Bands
sincere appreciation for all their fans and you have a show that is filled with solid gold
hits, solid entertainment, and memories that will not soon be forgotten!
