The Turtles are an American pop, psychedelic and folk rock band defined by a good-natured, joyously melancholic and occasionally cheeky sound. A precursor to the bubblegum pop of the late 1960s and a foil to the more self-consciously hip and “serious” acts of the era, the Turtles produced at least a dozen memorable, radio-friendly chart singles but remain best known for 1967’s “Happy Together”.

The two prominent singers - Howard Kaylan (“Eddie”) and Mark Volman (“Flo” aka “Phlorescent Leech”). - joined Frank Zappa for a short but very intensive period of 1.5 years (between 1970-72) and were the corner stone of what was known to be the Zappa ‘Vaudeville’ band, two of the most famous acheivements of that period being the LP ‘The Filmore East concert’ and the LP and film ‘200 Motels’.

We need fans of The Turtles, to go to the "Turtles" page and suggest a correction to their songs so they get redirected here to "The Turtles" page. We can build up their numbers. Let's do it!

Oops! The "Born in 1948" group's connected to the Korean "Turtles"! Aside from that problem with a tag, drop by and relive The British Invasion, Mods vs. Rockers, and other 1960's event touchstones.

I saw The Turtles (well, two from the original line-up plus new band members) a few years ago at The Taste of Minnesota. They were a lot of fun, and their music is still really catchy and great. Also, I saw a clip of them on a CD compilation infomercial and one of them was wearing a matching polka-dotted hat and bow tie, which totally cracked me up.
