On To Golden Pastures - RIP: Rob Grill

Rob Grill, bassist and singer for the Grass Roots, passed away Monday at the age of 67. Though the Grass Roots were dismissed as easy pop of the time, their songs were highly influential to 70's supergroups like The Monkees, The Move, ELO and Three Dog Night and later for modern bands such as Robyn Hitchcock, The Flaming Lips and Sloan.
Fans of The Office might recognize Creed Bratton on guitar in this clip.
