The
Turtles
The
Turtles were one of the more enjoyable American pop groups of
the 1960s, featuring beautiful vocal harmonies courtesy of dual
frontmen Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman.
The Turtles recorded
a Bob Dylan song "It Ain't Me Babe" as their first single.
It was an immediate hit - climbing into the Top Five nationally
- quickly establishing the Turtles as a force of their own.
"Happy Together" spent three weeks
at number one on the American charts, and proved to be one of
the biggest hits of the year.
The Turtles'
next three singles hit the Top 20: the number three hit "She'd Rather Be with Me"
(which eclipsed even "Happy Together" in terms of international
success), plus "You Know What I Mean" and "She's
My Girl."
