What Happened to The Turtles?

[catherinestgermain]

One of my all time favorite 1960s bands! Love them and their music! I never get tired of listening to them!

[jimpalmer]

I saw them 8 times.. Kaylan and Volman, a Magical combo are true Entertainers...

[groverbaker]

One of the best bands in history!! Turtles!!!

[RianShafer]

Loved this memory lane vid. In Junior high (middle school now) I saved my baby sitting money to buy their album with Elenore on it, I Iet one kid I sat with borrow it and his dad used it for a Frisbee out their window. I guess the dad hated it! I still love hearing their songs!

This was an excellent video & I learned a lot more about this really fabulous group that were so terribly wronged by their early contractual agreements. Thanks much for giving them the proper credits unlike some other videos I've recently seen about them.

RIP Jim. And I had no idea that Howard was ill!

I went to high school with these guys (Westchester Ca. High 1964) but back then they were called “The Crossfires” they were supposed to play for the senior prom, but they never showed, instead they were playing down in Redondo Beach at a surf club for REAL money! LOL🤣🎶

Flo and Eddie …moving targets CLASSIC !!

Volman and Kaylan worked with Frank Zappa on 3 albums as members of the Mothers of Invention, ( Chunga's Revenge, Live at the Fillmore and Just another band from LA, as well as the movie "200 Motels"), and yet there's absolutely no mention of that. This is really sloppy. If that fact escaped you, you really need to up your game.

[lilajagears]

You failed to mention there short stint with Frank Zappas mothers of invention in the early 70"s.

[timholt]

Got save the turtles earlier this year really good

[alanweber]

How can you do a piece on Flo and Eddie without mentioning The Mothers of Invention???

Thanks for using my photo of Jim Tucker that I took in June 2013. He was a great talent and good guy.

The Turtles wound down their career in 1970 with More Golden Hits, a second compilation album, and Wooden Head, a B-sides and rarities album. With the demise of the Turtles, White Whale Records lost its biggest moneymaker, had few commercially viable bands, and soon ceased operations.

[jeanieruter]

One of the very best groups of the 60's. Howard Kaylan has a great voice. Sorry to hear he's been ill. Any word on how he is doing today?

[theoldgeezersmith]

What?!?! Nothing about recording with Frank Zappa??? Flo & Eddie!? Worthless!

[edryba]

LTD. is the abbreviation for the word “Limited”.

It's not hard to find pronunciations before committing to tape, so to speak.

[tonykehoe]

No mention of Moving targets or frank zappa contribution

[TonysMusic]

1:28 Dude! Do you really not know how to pronounce Warren Zevon's last name? Really? Shouldn't you do a little bit of research before you post things that are available to the entire world? Maybe read through your scripts out loud a few times?? Bush League. The Turtles are great, however.
