Their 16 Greatest Hits is a greatest hits collection by American pop group The Grass Roots. The album was originally released by Dunhill Records in September 1971 shortly after the success of "Sooner or Later" earlier in the year (see 1971 in music). The album also included many other hit singles that were released from 1966 to 1971.
As the group's third greatest hits collection, Their 16 Greatest Hits contained many of the hit songs from the group's first two greatest hits albums, Golden Grass and More Golden Grass. This included 6 songs from the former and 9 songs from the latter. The one song not on either previous album was "Sooner or Later," which had become the band's first Billboard top 10 entry since "Midnight Confessions" in 1968 and would be their last.
The songs on this release include three songs that reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, eleven that reached the top 40, and a total of fifteen songs that appeared on the chart.
The original release of Their 16 Greatest Hits on Dunhill ABC had a black label pressing with the Dunhill ABC Records logo on the top-center. The front and back cover photographs were taken by Tom Gundelfinger and the package was designed by Philip Schwartz. The same artwork and design was used on the versions of the album released by MCA Records in 1980, with only the label differing.
All songs produced by Steve Barri, except X produced by Steve Barri & P. F. Sloan.
