Music today was The Turtles‘ third album Happy Together (1967) as it came up in the studio and was the first full-price record I ever bought. The title track was co-written with Alan Gordon and Gary Bonner, who also wrote She’d Rather Be With Me. Elenore, released in 1968 and written by lead singer Howard Kaylan, was a cynical response to the massive success of the album’s title track.
