Turtles
45 Cover of the single "She's My Girl"
The group which started in 1965 with "It Ain't Me Babe" and "Let Me
Be" and was considered Folk Rock continues on today as Flo and Eddie aand now appears
as The Turtles . A trully great live act to see even today!!!. The group had no trouble in
continuing on in the late sixty's with such great hits as "Happy Together",
"She’d Rather Be With Me " , "Eleanore" , and " You Showed
Me". This is a group which always could and still can make great music and entertain
you with a great show at the same time, a rare talent. Flo is definetly the only person on
earth who can really play the tambourine. If you see a tape of the group or see them in
concert you will know what I mean. They are without a doubt my favorite group to see in
concert. They are the only group which this statement can be made about "You do not
even have to know one of their songs to enjoy their concert!" I have taken some
freinds which were not familiar with their work and did not beleive that statement before
the show to one of their concerts. They walked out believing this statement after seeing
their act. They truly can entertain you with an absolutlely great stage show. By the end
of their concert you cannot help but to love their music. Flo and Eddie’s true names
are Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan. They were the front men for the group The Turtles. One
album which you should make sure is part of your collection is “The Turtles Featuring
Flo & Eddie Captured Live” so you can hear MARK's imitation of the Doors
and Bruce plus many of their teriffic hits. This also will prove to you that this is one
group who still has the great excitment which made them famous. I also feel that the
Turtles later work never received the recognition which it should have. I love some of
their later work such as "Somewhere Friday Nite" and "Lady O". Flo and
Eddie also did some tv work such as the Care Bears, which I would like to mention just to
show how they can vary their style with no trouble.This shows what great performers they
are!!!! .

HISTORY OF THE GROUP
The group was started in 1963 in Westchester NY but their name was not the Turtles at this time. The orginal name of the group was The Crossfires.
This era of the group was a instrumental surf band. However in 1964 the
group decided that it was time for a change and went on to become a folk -rock group .
They also decided that it was time to change their name and had some names in their head
such as the SIX PACKS . However their manager decided to make their name The Turtles since
it sounded English . This was the hite of the British Invasion and he wanted them to fit
into the current music scene. Their first single was a Bob Dylan song called It An't Me
Babe which went right up the charts like many of their singles which were to follow.
Singles included such songs as Let Me Be, You Baby, She'd Rather Be With Me, She's My
Girl, Elenore, You Showed Me, Lady-o, and of course HAPPY TOGETHER. The group
admired The Beatles and always watched the direction which they were moving. If the
Beatles did it the Turtles did it which did send them in their next direction which was
ACID ROCK . The group came out with a song called She's My Girl which was very acid
rock-oriented. They had dabbled in this style earlier with Grim Reaper of Love which was
not as sucessful. . They continued on successfully until their was a money problem
with their record company White Whale . It had appeared that the record company had
shorted the group of a large sum of money and the group being the major factor which kept
the company alive decided to quit the company. However basically the group broke up after
this time period which was 1970 . Mark and Howard due to old contacts could not use the
TURTLES name or even their own and this when they decided to become FLO AND EDDIE.
They recorded many albums under this name. It was not until the 80's that they came back
as THE TURTLES and have been going strong ever since then. They are still a top
touring band today and are without a doubt one of the top stage showmen around even today.
