The Turtles - Happy Together: The Very Best of the Turtles

Happy Together: The Very Best Of The Turtles is a very fine single-disc collection of songs by one of the best pop bands of the '60s. It hits the highlights of their folk-rock era with "It Ain't Me Babe," "Let Me Be," and "Eve of Destruction"; charts the peak of their popularity with the omnipresent "Happy Together" and lesser (but still big) hits "She'd Rather Be With Me," "You Showed Me," "Elenore," "She's My Girl," and "You Know What I Mean"; and picks up a few strong cuts like the rocking, Warren Zevon-penned "Outside Chance" and the brilliant blue-eyed soul of "Can I Get to Know You Better." The Turtles' melodies, brains, and musical imagination shine through this collection like the first rays of summer; you could easily put the best four or five songs on this collection up against almost any pop band and have at the very least a close fight. Read More
