    Man this takes me back to the summer of 1972. My Dad had a part time job along with his regular job at safety brake in Texarkana TX. I wanted to make some money so he took me to work with him there. Paid me 10 dollars, that was alot of money back then. The radio was always on while we worked and I remember this song along with the ojays tower of power and many others. This just reminds me of all the fun I had working with my Dad and it really helped me appreciate how hard he worked to provide for us. Love you Dad.

    I think you can tell that Rob really enjoyed what he was doing, as he said in a layer interview. He said it was a lot of fun still, after so many years, and that attitude was infectious as you can see all the band members seem to be having a good time. I like where there is a key change in the song. The excitement builds musically, and it is great. I also love the bridge. They sing it well and it is an excellent performance.

    Believe it or not, this song by The Grass Roots is associated with my favorite going to the dentist moments of all-time. Back in 1971, when "Sooner Or Later" was a huge hit for the band I was 7-years old and need a lot of dentistry work due to a huge overbite problem I had. Around that same time my mom found a new dentist who was actually fairly new to the profession. He was a young man who was in his mid-20's, and I do believe became a dentist to deliberately not get drafted a few years earlier, sure enough as a man in his mid-20's, Dr. Ross (I can't remember his first name), would always have his sound system in his office turned to the latest stereo Rock n' Roll hits station, and well let's just say that The Grass Roots' "Sooner Or Later" has always been associated with my favorite dentistry moments with Dr. Ross. (If only that had continued to be so 50-years later. LOL!) (BTW, I love in Dr. Ross' office were a lot of younger and slightly older moms bringing in their children -- I'm sure Dr. Ross had a lot admirers wanting to pounce on him and his surfer dude looks.

    I got to see them in concert at Seaworld one summer evening. It was a beautiful day and I was only 17 with my high school sweetheart. I will always remember running to the sound of this song hand in hand to get to our seats. Some nights stay with you forever.

    How have I missed Mary for all these years? She is so cute and she can really sing, her vocals are spot on. I've got a crush on her, she moves nice and that smile wow, and she looks so happy - what a concept. Those were the days, thank God for youtube so we can go back in time. Loved the Grassroots, i wore their albums out.

      They don't need her.. she sings one word at the end of two sentences..and she thinks she is carrying the show... she isn't needed, these guys are great WITHOUT her, they got all the harmony they need. All she does is get in Rob's way moving around bouncing back and forth. Here's a tip...BACKGROUND singers are just that....in the BACKGROUND!! they don't stand up in front of the band!

      Marc Bogart - YES the canned laugh should not have been there is as far as I am going to agree with you. Otherwise it did NOT make the whole thing creepy, just a very small inconvenience. Mary WAS spot on great. This track WAS done a 9 out of 10 high quality rendition of a wonderful song.
      Also I will add, it was NOT lip-synched, but rather an ace very good live band.
