What group sang the American version of sha na na na live for today?
The Grass Roots
In the United States, the Rokes' version of "Let's Live for Today" found its way to the head of Dunhill Records, who felt that the song would make a suitable single release for the Grass Roots. The composer/producer team of P. F. Sloan and Steve Barri, who managed the Grass Roots' recordings, were also enthusiastic about the song, with Sloan being particularly enamored with the similarities that the song's chorus had to the Drifters' "I Count the Tears". "Let's Live for Today" was recorded by the Grass Roots, with the help of a number of studio musicians, including Sloan on lead guitar, and was released as a single in May 1967. The lead vocal on the Grass Roots' recording was sung by the band's bassist Rob Grill and the distinctive "1-2-3-4" count-in before the chorus was sung by guitarist Warren Entner.

Let's Live for Today (song)
Following its success on the Italian charts, plans were made to release "Piangi Con Me" in the United Kingdom and as a result, the song was translated into English and given the new title of "Passing Thru Grey". However, the song's publisher in Britain, Dick James Music, was unhappy with these lyrics and decided that they should be changed. Michael Julien, a member of the publisher's writing staff, was assigned the task of writing new words for the song and it was his input that transformed it into "Let's Live for Today". Before the Rokes could release the song in the UK, however, another British group named the Living Daylights released a version of it. Ultimately, neither the Living Daylights nor the Rokes would reach the charts with their recording of the song.

Let's Live for Today (song)
In 1966, the song that would become Let's Live for Today was originally written by David Shapiro and Italian lyricist Mogol with Italian lyrics and the Italian title of Piangi Con Me. At the time, Shapiro was a member of the Rokes, an English beat group who had relocated to Italy in 1963. By 1966, however, the band had begun to write their own material, including Piangi Con Me, which quickly became their biggest hit to date in Italy. Following its success on the Italian charts, plans were made to release Piangi Con Me in the United Kingdom and as a result, the song was translated into English and was ultimately transformed into Let's Live for Today. Before the Rokes could release the song in the UK, however, another British group named the Living Daylights released a version of the song. Ultimately, neither the Living Daylights nor the Rokes would reach the charts with their recording of the song. The song Let's Live for Today was then popularized by the American rock band the Grass Roots, who released it as a single on May 13, 1967. The Grass Roots' version climbed to number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, eventually selling over two million copies and being awarded a gold disc. The lead vocal on the Grass Roots' recording was sung by the band's bassist Rob Grill and the distinctive "1-2-3-4" count-in before the chorus was sung by guitarist Warren Entner.
