Full article:
Mark Volman (The Turtles) : We found a record sitting in a pile of demos in an office, which is becoming a classic story. One out of twenty songs would make us interested enough to hear a better version of a scratchy demo. The publishers of the song were so excited we liked their song that they flew the kids who had written the song in from new York to sing it live for us. The record we picked out was Happy Together. The kids were Bonner and Gordon. We had known them through a band called The Magicians, but didn't know they had written this tune.
