“She’s My Girl” #14 12/23/1967

The sixth Top 20 hit for the Turtles, written by the same guys who wrote their previous single. After they broke up in 1970, front men Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman were contractually prevented from using the band name (or even their own names) to promote themselves. So they became known professionally as the Phlorescent Leech and Eddie (later just Flo and Eddie) and joined Frank Zappa and the Mothers Of Invention. They were with the Mothers in Montreux, Switzerland when the concert venue burned down, forever immortalized in Deep Purple’s “Smoke On The Water.”
