Heres to you KaY...soon. DO YOU REMEMBER? Billboard #1 HOT 100 (This Week in 1967) The Turtles: Happy Together Happy Together is a 1967 song from The Turtles album of the same name. Released in February 1967, the song knocked The Beatles Penny Lane out of the #1 slot for three weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. It was the groups only chart-topper. Happy Together reached #12 on the UK Singles Chart in April 1967. The song was written by Garry Bonner and Alan Gordon, former members of a band known as The Magicians. The song had been rejected a dozen times before it was offered to The Turtles, and the demo acetate was worn out. When performing the song on television, Mark Volman commonly played a different instrument not present in the song for each appearance. On Ed Sullivan he played a trumpet, on the Smothers Brothers a piano, and on others a French horn. This could be seen as a wink to the audience that they were lip-syncing, a common practice for 1960s television.
