The first of several key Turtles singles co-written by Garry Bonner and Alan Gordon, Happy Together seemed almost a parody of itself, and had already been rejected by countless performers. "Happy Together", both their biggest hit and their signature song, signaled a turning point for the Turtles and for Chip Douglas, who provided the arrangement. The single replaced the Beatles' "Penny Lane" at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the spring of 1967. The Turtles' only number one, it remained at the top for three weeks. An album of the same name followed and peaked at number 25.

Something old but still a wonderful song to listen to.
