• John Hudson from Roseville, CaExactly who actually played on this hit recording (Temptation Eyes)? There seem to be so many personnel variations in this band, it's hard to know who was on what song. I understand the "Wrecking Crew" was involved, so that might explain it. On their Ed Sullivan performance (abbreviated song video), they had the horns backing track playing (a must for this tune), so it makes me think that their performance was a pantomime. Every photo I have seen of the Grassroots has different people in it - except for perhaps Rick Conce and Warren Entner. It seems to me that SongFacts ought to have and provide these things.
• Mark Wesley Curran from CaDoes anyone know who played bass on the original recording?
• Scott Hoyt from Nashville, TnBill Jordan, the guitarist is Terry Furlong. Sonia, only Rob sang on Temptation Eyes. The other main, lead singer in the group was Warren Entner, who you can hear trading vocals with Rob on "Midnight Confessions". Later, (and seen in this video) is Dennis Provisor, who sang lead as well, most notably on "Walking Through The Country" and "I Can Turn Off The Rain".
