REO Brothers - Happy Together / The Turtles

"Happy Together" is a song by American rock band the Turtles from their third studio album Happy Together (1967). The song was written by Garry Bonner and Alan Gordon, arranged by Chip Douglas, and produced by Joe Wissert.
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.[4] 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 2 on the Canadian Top Singles chart in Canada. - wikipedia

I'm a 70 year old guy hearing the music of my youth played by kids young enough to be my grandchildren and LOVING IT! You guys are great! It is wonderful to see this music appreciated by a new generation.

Johnny Fairplay addictive indeed. Me too! Especially this cover of theirs. Love the harmony they create not to mention the good voice of the lead singer.

[@locutusTOR]

I keep replaying ones I have already seen/listened to... It's such a pleasure to see them jamming... On top of that, they are crazy good with the covers. I can't stop.

So sad reading negative comments. Of all people, kapwa nila Filipino ang mag cocomment ng ganito. They are not imitating them and the other bands, they are reviving their musics so that people can hear the greatness of the music back then. They aren't singing these for themselves, they are singing these FOR US. Can we just be grateful? Just spread love and positivity just like these awesome guys are doing. ❤️

This is getting out of control. Every REO Brothers song I listen to - I am stunned at the brilliance. So wonderfully done - so EASY to listen to.

I'm so glad they did "Happy Together" - a great an memorable song from "The Turtles". Again, another amazing performance by "REO Brothers". When I was 10 I remember traveling from Ann Arbor, Michigan to Alma College with my brother in '67 on his way back from a break and this song was playing all of the time. I loved the song, and this brings back gooood memories!

[@rjrusgloren56]

Wow! Those harmonies can’t be any tighter! This is a master class on how to sing a 4-part harmony while playing instruments. And please, to my fellow Filipinos, stop harping about their Visayan accent! They are from Tacloban!
