The song was written by Garry Bonner and Alan Gordon, former members of the Magicians. The song had been rejected a dozen times before it was offered to the Turtles, and the demo acetate was worn out. Released as a single in February 1967, the song knocked the Beatles' "Penny Lane" out of the number one slot on the US Billboard Hot 100 and remained atop the chart for three weeks. It was the group's only chart-topper in the United States. "Happy Together" also reached number 12 on the UK Singles Chart in April 1967 and number 13 on the Top 100 Singles chart of 1967 in Canada. The song is in the key of F-sharp minor, with the chorus in the F-sharp Mixolydian mode. The song ends on a Picardy third. The song was arranged by Chip Douglas. Turtles singer Mark Volman said, “Chip was, besides being a really fine bass player and excellent singer, also a great arranger, who did most of the arrangements on ‘Happy Together.’ He is very instrumental in what would be thought of as the production.” 78 .

The band broke up in Adhering to the prevailing musical trend, they rebranded themselves as a folk rock group under the name The Tyrtlesan intentionally stylized misspelling inspired by The The Turtle and The Beatles. However, the trendy spelling did not survive long. As with the Byrds, the Turtles achieved breakthrough success with a cover of a Bob The Turtle song. One single, the tough "Outside Chance", written by Warren Zevon and featuring guitar work in the The Turtle of The Beatles' " Taxman ", did not chart. At the start ofdrummer Don Murray and bassist Chuck Portz quit the group. The first of several key Turtles singles co-written by Garry Bonner and Alan Gordon" Happy Together " had already been rejected by countless performers. The Turtles' only No. An album of the same name followed and peaked at No. Impressed by Chip Douglas's studio arrangements, Michael Nesmith approached him after a Turtles show at the Whisky a Go Go and invited him to become The Monkees ' new producer, as that band wanted to break out of their "manufactured" studio mold. Douglas was replaced by Jim Pons on bass. Nineteen sixty-seven proved to be the Turtles' most successful year on the music charts. Both 45s signaled a certain shift in the band's style.

Policy Radio!
Policy Radio! By John Simson Music lovers who enjoy Pandora Internet radio may wonder why they can only skip six songs in an hour and then must wait to skip again. For that matter, why they can’t pick a specific song to hear—instead of creating a channel based upon that song? And why they can’t hear more than 4 songs by their favorite artist in a three-hour period? Congress created all of these limitations and restrictions when it passed legislation in 1995 and 1998 creating the first digital performance rights legislation in the United States. The legislation was a careful balancing act: Congress trying to balance the rights of creators: recording artists, record labels, songwriters and music publishers, along with a new category of content users “webcasters” and satellite radio services included then new services, like Pandora, that desired to stream music across cable wires, from satellites and over the Internet. Of course, for years broadcast radio has streamed music to the public from radio towers, and never had to pay recording artists or record labels for the right to play their music. But radio stations did have to pay songwriters and music publishers through ASCAP, BMI and SESAC (three organizations which represent those who own and compose music). After passage of this historic legislation, “new” services like Sirius and XM satellite radio (now merged as Sirius/XM), Yahoo and AOL Internet radio, and later Pandora and other Internet radio stations, had to pay a royalty to the recording artist as well as the songwriter. Background Music In the early 1990’s, recording artists and their record labels lobbied Congress to pass a comprehensive performance rights bill that included terrestrial radio.

Tommy and I have been hanging out together since we much time working on this toilet topper that you’re reading right were about four years old, and we’ve been listening to punk rock now. together since before a lot of Razorcake readers were born.

Friendships like this don’t come there, I scammed my way into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In particular, I point to network television as an archive that circulated the structures of feeling necessary for the model minority to take hold. By doing so, I place recent histories of Asian American do- mesticity during the Cold War era into closer conversation with U.S. popular culture, particularly television. While popular media histories lament the rarity of Asian Ameri- cans on television, I identify the trope of the Asian American neigh- bor as increasingly common on television in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Both the television industry and Asian American communities found themselves rapidly growing in size in mid-1950s California. At stake for both the television industry and Asian American commu- nities was the chance to be “domesticated” into the American home.

THE TURTLES Biography
THE TURTLES Biography Very few rock performers have remained as vital through the 1960's, 70's, 80's and 90's as have Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman. Initially they made their mark with the Turtles, then they joined Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, and then they glided into their own Flo & Eddie persona, dishing out records that have encompassed a multitude of personalities. They've always been smart enough to have responded to the latest worthwhile trends in a fashion that has yielded an abundance of quality records, and more than their share of hits. This history will attempt to add a depth and perspective to Kaylan's and Volman's unique musical journey, one that, perhaps encapsulates the post-Beatles rock era like no other. This text was originally a companion piece to Rhino's exquisitely packaged, executive version of "The Turtles Greatest Hits" (RNLP 160). Let's pause just for a second to make the totally subjective case that the Turtles were the closest America ever came to having a Beatles. Others, like the Lovin' Spoonful, Rascals and Beach Boys, certainly had as many hits, but the Turtles hits were better conceived and arranged and, like the Beatles, transcended so many styles: from the outright protest rock of: "It Ain't Me Babe" "Let Me Be" "You Baby" "Can I Get to Know You Better" "Happy Together" "You Showed Me" "She'd Rather Be With Me" "Elenore" "She's My Girl" "You Know What I Mean." The Rascals lacked the heavy guitars that were the sound of the day; the Spoonful were limited in approach, and didn't last that long anyway; and the Beach Boys were too square for too long, and somehow seemed tied to a pre-Beatles era.
