      Wow!! I was born in ‘71 and I LOVE these cats!! Just some perfect pop songs.i was a teen in the 80’s and I wouldn’t change for anything except MAYBE being a teen in the mid 60’s!! STILL the greatest musical period in history!! Really, everything after was just redoing what was done then. Music was just wide open then and you heard new stuff that had really never been heard before. Definitely a turning point. Not just for music but the whole world.

    Wow!
    I just became a fan of "The Turtles" today,
    After listening to "Happy Together" on the radio, and went looking for that music.
    Harmony is their middle name!
    It's a shame people don't use harmony to that level now.
    Well, if we can call music the things most of the things we hear today!

      Hi - I did a writeup recently on She's My Girl with the three octaves signaling his tiptoes out and then back, his arrival into the sunshine, and his soaring descriptions . . . It's one magnificent song, stunningly arranged, yet indicative in its quality of soo many others in the Turtles' oeuvre!

    Such a versatile group. I have their first LP on vinyl. Never heard "House On The Hill" before - a great piece of psychedelic pop. The Turtles hailed from Inglewood-Westchester near LA Int'l Airport (LAX) They began as a gnarly surf band called The Crossfires. Along came Folk Rock, and POW - They became The Turtles. Mark and Howard later joined Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, and became "The Fluorescent Leach & Eddie" aka "Flo & Eddie".

      Can't argue that. But, unlike Barbata, Dinelli never received the recognition for what he was. Speaking of Dinelli, I'd long noticed that he and Keith Moon shared a thread of similarity here and there. Then out of the blue I realized the influence.... Gene Krupa. Krupa founded the modern drum kit, and he played it too... well.

    This was after John Barbata (original drummer on this song) left the band and it was lip-synced. The Turtles were cheated out of the Hall of Fame in part because their management screwed them over and the members are no longer allowed to even use the name. They became Flo and Eddie. Tragic. Even Jimi Hendrix was a fan of theirs.

Listen to the original Turtle Soup track and it will become apparent. Howard does the same thing on the Ed Sullivan "She's My Girl" performance.
