The Grass Roots were a Los Angeles-based band with roots in San Francisco's music scene. They formed in the mid-1960s and went through three incarnations, with band members leaving and others joining, before they recorded a series of hits.

Mr. Grill joined in 1967, and the group disbanded in 1975. He released a solo album, Uprooted, in 1979.
