Happy Together – Groovy 60s Pop & Rock Celebration

🎙️ Show Topic: Happy Together – Groovy 60s Pop & Rock Celebration

My latest podcast, recorded on Thursday, September 11th, 2025, celebrated Happy Together – Groovy 60s Pop & Rock, featured all 60s music with a special focus on The Turtles and remembering Mark Volman.

Expect sunshine pop, soulful harmony stacks, and dance-floor stompers from The Buckinghams, The Grass Roots, Paul Revere & The Raiders, The Monkees, Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, Badfinger, The Cyrkle, The Rascals, Three Dog Night, The Cowsills, and more.

We’ll also spotlight The Turtles — the L.A. hitmakers behind “It Ain’t Me Babe,” “You Baby,” “She’d Rather Be With Me,” “Elenore,” “You Showed Me,” and of course the #1 smash “Happy Together” (1967).

And we’ll remember the life, humor, and music of founding member Mark Volman, who passed away on September 5th, 2025, with stories from friends and bandmates who knew the joy behind the songs.

🕰️ Tune in for ringing Rickenbackers, stacked harmonies, and the feel-good soundtrack of the sixties.

📅 Mark your calendars: Thursday, September 11th, 2025 — put on your best paisley and sing along.
