The Grass Roots released "Let's Live For Today" in the summer of 1967 and it became their first Top 10 hit! The original Italian version is about a girl going through a rough time, with the singer offering comfort. The song's hook, however is universal: "Sha, la, la, la, la..." leading into the title.
