In the beginning of their career they play only songs from well known artists, such as Bob Dylan or P.F. Sloan. Has the play style very much like the Byrds.

With the Dylan- It Ain't Me Babe Cover they have for the first time a Top 10 hit in the summer of 1965. On their eponymous debut album two more songs by Dylan. The song Let Me Be comes in the autumn in the Top 30 to stand. You Baby from early 1966 takes out the Top 20.

Of the second album You Baby (1966), of which there are two different singles ("Grim Reaper of Love" and "Can I Get to Know You Better") end up in the top 100. In early 1967 the band, leaving Murray and Palmer said because of a heavy tour schedule and the lack of further commercial success, they are being replaced by, respectively, John Barbata and Chip Douglas. ==Biggest hit[ Edit] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">After they have played the song live eight months, decisions The Turtles "Happy Together" by the fans popular, written by Garry Bonner and Alan Gordon, to record in the studio. Their anthem and biggest success, would later prove. The Beatles pad (with their single Penny Lane) of the number-one position and then three weeks on the highest listing in the u.s. charts of 1967. The album of the same name is released in april and comes to number 25 in the hit list.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Impressed by the work that Douglas has done for the band, Michael Nesmith Monkee asks him after a Turtles show to become the new producer of The Monkees. Douglas accepts the offer, and leaves The Turtles, he is replaced by bassist/singer Jim Pons.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">1967 is the most successful years for The Turtles ', the duo again with another track written by Bonner and Gordon, "She'd Rather Be With Me", which reached number 3 in the spring in the US charts. With the further top-15 singles, "You Know What I Mean", and "she's My Girl", give The Turtles to a new psychedelic musical direction to go fly; their music genre is also called the sunshine pop. The compilation album Golden Hits is later released that year and rack up the top 10. ==Rather successful<span class="mw-editsection" len="343" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">1968 is a reasonably successful year: the next two singles, Sound Asleep and The Story of Rock and Roll come to the middle of the top 100, but are less well received. After a year, two albums, and several hit singles with the Monkees, Chip Douglas comes back to The Turtles as their producer. Later that year, is referred to by The Turtles the concept album called The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bands, in which the Group pretended they are another band (with names like The Bigg Brothers, nature's Children, The US Teens featuring Raoul, and The Fabulous Dawgs) and each issue also in a different genre. "Elenore" and You Showed Me are the singles from the album, and get know in the Top 10. Elenore is perhaps the only Top 10 single with the text and so on, and is therefore an ironic gesture to the record label White Whale that demands more songs such as Happy Together. ==Turtle Soup<span class="mw-editsection" len="336" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">The record company trying to convince Kaylan & Volman to fire the rest of the band, and to go touring/recording with hired staff. What is emphatically denied. This results in Turtle Soup, a critically well received album by Ray Davies of The Kinks -his only production work for another band in his entire career-inspired by The Kinks ' Village Green Preservation Society. Kaylan & Volman insist that all band members Josh Freese to the numbers, as well as participate in the vocal parts. Despite the good reception by the music critics remains the commercial success of Turtle Soup out, which leads to the band disintegrate.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">In 1970, bring The Turtles More Golden Hits, with the singles Sound Asleep and The Story of Rock and Roll, and in 1971, an album of B-sides and rarities, Wooden Head, their last. With the demise of The Turtles, remains there for the White Whale Records record label little about it and also they closed their doors soon. ==Post Turtles<span class="mw-editsection" len="337" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Kaylan & Volman (accompanied by Pons) join the Mothers of Invention called The Phlorescent Leech & Eddie, the use of The Turtles name (and even their own name on posters) is prohibited because of their contract with White Whale. Flo & Eddie, as the two quickly known, with Mothers, take and bring out a series of own record later. They take on the soundtracks for several children's programmes such as the Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake, and have their own radio show on KROQ in Los Angeles and WXRK in New York City. ==Rightful owner<span class="mw-editsection" len="345" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">As a White Whale the master recordings of The Turtles sells at auction, take care to be sure the highest bidders Kaylan & Volman; so they take ownership of their own recorded material. In 1984 they get through the courts again control of the brand name The Turtles, and begin a tour as: ''The Turtles... Featuring Flo and Eddie''. They try no reunion with their old band members, but instead play with various session musicians. In 1984, a new 20 Greatest Hits album comes out, followed by a second in 1988 , Turtle Wax: The Best of The Turtles, vol. 2, lists the best songs from their "album tracks" and single B-sides on.

For this sample, however, is not paid and Kaylan & Volman steps to court, win the process, with which they make sure that the music industry also must deal with more carefully more often be indicated and royalties which makes this so so so also paid out: a milestone in the music industry. Their own explanation: "We do not hate samples; on the contrary. If we are not paid, we get to court and everything comes back with us (royalties) and a part of the fineto be paid!
