The Turtles Karaoke

The Turtles karaoke The Turtles are an American pop and folk rock band led by vocalists Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman, who became notable for numerous Top 40 hits beginning with their cover version of Bob Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe" (1965), and "Happy Together" (1967).

==History==

The band, originally a surf-rock group called the ''Crossfires from the Planet Mars'', was formed in 1965 in Westchester, California (a neighborhood of Los Angeles' west side) by Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman. With the help of DJ and club owner Reb Foster, the Crossfires signed to White Whale Records and, adhering to the prevailing musical trend, re-branded themselves as a folk rock group called "The Tyrtles", the intentional misspelling inspired by The Byrds. However, the trendy spelling did not survive long. As with the Byrds, the Turtles achieved breakthrough success with a Bob Dylan cover. "It Ain't Me Babe" reached the ''Billboard'' Top Ten in the late summer of 1965, and was the title track to the band’s first album. Their second single, "Let Me Be" reached the top 30. Their third hit, "You Baby", charted in the top 20 in early 1966. Their second album ''You Baby'' never entered Billboard's Top LPs chart, and of several singles released in 1966, "Grim Reaper of Love" and "Can I Get to Know You Better" bearly entered the Billboard Hot 100.Source: Wikipedia
