The Turtles are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1965, whose original lineup consisted of Howard Kaylan, Mark Volman, Al Nichol, Chuck Portz, Jim Tucker and Don Murray.

Originating from an earlier surf band called the Crossfires, the Turtles first achieved success with a sound that fused folk music with rock and roll,[1] but would achieve greater success with pop music,[1] scoring their biggest and best-known hit in 1967 with the song "Happy Together".

[2] They charted several other top 40 hits, including "It Ain't Me Babe" (1965), "You Baby" (1966), "She'd Rather Be With Me" (1967), "Elenore" (1968) and "You Showed Me" (1969).

The 1970 album More Golden Hits contains stereo mixes of "Sound Asleep", "She's My Girl", and "Who Would Ever Think That I Would Marry Margaret?".

This single was issued without the band's knowledge or consent, and "The Dedications" concept was concocted by White Whale.
