It was 1967, and the performance of 'You Baby' by The Turtles was ecstatic to the audience. This band was something else because the music was upbeat and made everyone feel alive.

Unsurprisingly, this song was a hit, reaching #11 on the Canadian charts, #15 on the US Record World 100, #17 on the US Cash Box Top 100, and #20 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The Vogues originally recorded the song in 1965, but The Turtles made it their own.

Their album 'You Baby' was quite a masterpiece. The Turtles composed much of the original material, showing their talent as musicians. Sundazed Records has since re-released most of its early albums, allowing fans to relive those times again.

Looking back, it's clear that The Turtles were a great band. Their music was inspiring and uplifting, bringing joy to everyone who listened. It's no wonder that people still listen to their music today, over 50 years later.
