"Happy Together" #1 3/25/1967

Two-fers for the next seven days! The Turtles started out as a surf rock band called the Crossfires. When that group broke up, vocalists Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman tried to ride whatever musical wave happened to be cresting at the moment. Here, they certainly hit upon the sunshine pop style of light, breezy, sunny rock, as this was their only #1 record. It has been used in countless TV commercials since.
