"I'd Wait a Million Years" is a 1969 hit single by American rock band The Grass Roots. The song reached the #15 spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and the #12 spot on the Cash Box Top 100. It was the first of three single releases from the group's fifth LP, Leaving It All Behind, and is among the group's five greatest hits. In the beginning, the band was one of many U.S. guitar pop/rock bands until they developed a unique sound that they drew heavily on British beat, soul music, rhythm and blues, and folk rock. Many of their recordings featured a brass section which was a novelty among American rock bands back then. Instrumental support for "I'd Wait a Million Years" was provided by LA studio-musicians, known as the Wrecking Crew, who played the music on most, if not all of The Grass Roots hits.
