(458) THE TURTLES : CROSSING THE BIG POND and LANDING IN LOS ANGELES!
THE TURTLES FEATURING FLO AND EDDIE official site! link here! (Lot's of laughs!)
The TURTLES crossed "the Big Pond" and were a great success in Britain as they were in New York and then Southern California.
Like so many others we've covered here at Wes Bryan - My Life in Music, the Turtles spent years becoming an "overnight success." I remember when one of my associates who ran a club on the Sunset Strip were sure they were the competition for the Beatles. This was the time of my life when, after working at American Music all day and sometimes spending all night in recording studios doing unpaid "overtime," recording demos and pitching songs, that I also spent a lot of time on the Sunset Strip (and surrounds) going to clubs like The Whiskey.
From their site: "When the Turtles played at the Phone Booth in New York, they were pleased to see Bob Dylan sitting a mere eight feet away. He had his shades on and was slumped over. Afterwards the boys eagerly introduced themselves. Dylan responded, deadpan, to the Turtles live performance of their hit, Dylan's very own "It Ain't Me Babe,": "That's a great last song, it should be a record."
Yes friends, we're going to be covering Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Johnny Rivers on this blog as we head towards a Motown summer!
Introduced by Pat Boone!
