Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays from Lloyd.

This is one instance where I feel The Grassroots version here is as great as the original by the fabulous David Mcwilliams!! I am, and have always been, a huge fan of both! I purchased the Lovin' Things album days after its release - the same holds true for Let's Live For Today and Feelings! My three favorite albums by them- Thanx again Irh1966 for this great post!!

You are welcome, thanks for listening and Happy Holidays from Lloyd. I want to share a playlist of my three 1940's radios playing different selections and happy they still work after 67+ years... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqp2wC87lZ2XkdAStO7D6QkATk6H_mvp8

You have impeccable taste my dear, as do I of course!!!

@kathryndeleonable

I am glad to have been able to rekindle some good memories with hearing this album! Thank you for checking out this Grass Roots record...Friends, Lloyd.

I bought the Lovin' Things album in the late 1960s and wore it out. Haven't listened to in in years since I don't have a turntable. I'm living in England but I still have the album in California. I forgot how much I loved this song until I heard it again today, thank you so much for posting this so I can listen to it again and remember my life more than 40 years ago!!!! (Where have the years gone!?!?!)

@danu3247

You are very welcome, and this is still hard to find on CD...Friends, Lloyd.

I have been looking for the Grass Roots version of Pearly Spencer for the better part of 45 years....I can finally rest! Thank you, Thank you!!

@bluegin24

Thank you for listening to this Grass Roots recording here...Friends, Lloyd.

I absolutely love Pearly Spencer and think this album is one of the Grass Roots best. I also recall that this song had at least a tiny bit of airplay on local radio stations because I recognized it back then and was thrilled it was one of the songs on the album.

Oh, yeah! "Let It Go" - Dennis did lead on that one, didn't he?

I don't have any Grassroots albums just some 45 hits. This is a cool song. you have a great sounding system there.
