Let's Live for Today (song) "Let's Live for Today" is a song written by David Shapiro, Ivan Mogul, and Michael Julien, and initially recorded by the English band The Rokes in 1966.[1] The song was later popularized by the American rock band The Grass Roots,[1] who released it as a single on May 13, 1967.[2] The Grass Roots' version climbed to #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, eventually selling over two million copies and being awarded a gold disc.[1][3][4] The song was also included, as the title track, on The Grass Roots' second album, Let's Live for Today.[5] Since its initial release, The Grass Roots' rendition of the song has become a staple of Oldies radio programming in America and is today widely regarded as a 1960s classic.[6]
