The Turtles

In the summer of 1965, The Turtles launched to success with an unforgettable cover of Bob Dylan’s “It Ain’t Me Babe.” This track, which became the title of their first LP, reached the Billboard Top Ten, with the second single “Let Me Be” reaching top 30, and the third hit “You Baby” breaking into the top 20. After a slight dip with their unrecognizably brilliant second album, The Turtles became a household name in the spring of 1967 topping the charts for three weeks with the #1 hit sensation “Happy Together.”

While continuing on with unwavering acclaim for a few more years, the group started to wind down in 1970, after which Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman set off to form the duo Flo & Eddie. The Turtles legacy of sunshine pop, folk rock classics thrives, holding modern commercial success, attributed to being one of the most recognizable sounds of the ‘60s.
