The Grass Roots were a folk-rock band that formed in Los Angeles in 1965. They are known for their harmonies and catchy melodies, and their music has been popular for almost six decades. In this article, we will explore how to learn singing like The Grass Roots.

One of the unique vocal techniques The Grass Roots utilized was their tight harmonies. In songs like "Let's Live for Today" and "Midnight Confessions," the band's harmonies were front and center. To achieve this, practice singing in groups. Singing in a choir or vocal group will help you develop your ear and learn how to blend your voice with others. Singing along with recordings of The Grass Roots and other artists with tight harmonies can also help. For example, the Beach Boys and The Beatles are both known for their excellent harmonies.

Another technique worth noting is the falsetto, which was an integral part of The Grass Roots' sound. The falsetto is a high-pitched vocal register that resonates in the head, giving singers a unique tone. The song "Temptation Eyes" is an excellent example of The Grass Roots' use of falsetto. To train your falsetto, Singing Carrots' Vocal Pitch Monitor and Pitch Training are useful resources.
