“Bella Linda” #28 1/18/1969

The Grass Roots had a previous hit with “Let’s Live For Today,” originally an Italian song called "Piangi con me.” So their producer Steve Barri took the same route with another Italian-language tune, “Balla Linda” (or “Dance, Linda”) retitled “Bella Linda.” A few months later, guitarist Creed Bratton was...ummm, asked to leave the group. He eventually got into acting, achieving TV fame on “The Office.” Creed got a lot of face time in this video clip from the syndicated “Playboy After Dark.”
