The pop-rock anthem "Happy Together" soared to the top of Billboard's Hot 100 on March 25, 1967, where it remained for three consecutive weeks. It not only became The Turtles' first song to hit No. 1, but it would also end up being their only song to do so.
Written by Alan Gordon and Gary Bonner, who were not members of The Turtles, "Happy Together" was released as a single in February 1967, and was later included as the title track of their identically-titled third studio album. As it rose to the summit of the Hot 100 chart, it knocked out The Beatles' iconic track "Penny Lane" for the top spot.
