Byrds/Turtles
King Pineapple
Did the Byrds ever collaborate with The Turtles/Flo & Eddie on any
recordings? I know that The Turtles took Roger's "You Told Me" and had
a big hit with it.

The Turtles took it to number 6 on the Billboard charts. BMI has given
us an award for over 1,000,000 plays on radio and television.
Other than that, the Byrds and Turtles have never worked together.

There were some other members - Jim Pons <bass> (played later with
Zappa) for one. Let's not get into the "some members of the band were
more important than others" thing again, eh?
OLGA LIVES!

Portz on bass and Don Murray. They started out as the "Crossfires".

Speaking of ex-Turtles, whatever happened to Johnny Barbata
after he left the Starship in the late 70s? The last I heard, and this
would have been in the late 70s also, was that he'd been in some
kind of bad car accident and wouldn't be able to play again. Then
later, I heard he recovered and was doing something musically,
exactly what, I never did hear. Anyone out there know???

They also were the Crossfires before they were the Turtles. Rhino put out an
album of them a long time ago, but I never saw one and it sold very poorly
so I don't expect to see it reissued any time soon.

I do believe that hadn't got the rights to the "Turtles" name at that time-
which they did get back later. I noticed they thanked Roger on their "Ilegal,
Immoral & Fattening" released the year after "Peace On You". Btw the
Crossfires is pretty much surf music except for a couple of 'novelty' things
that foreshadow the humor that would froth from Flo & Eddie later. Chuck

If this is the tour I saw it was the last night. Stills was drunk when they played
in Columbia, SC. The next day, Young just up and left. I remembered reading about
it in Rolling Stone. I was there, but it wasn't a pleasant memory.

And Flo and Eddy were great when I saw them with Zappa. Would you go all the way for
the USA. Two Dog Night. Super show. I think George Duke was in that band too. What
a show! What guitar work. What sarcasm! :-)

Johnny wasn't their original drummer (see my previous post).
And the drummer who replaced John Barbata
in the Turtles was John Seiter, who I would imagine
is (ex-Byrds road manager - see Byrdmaniax gatefold)
Jimi Seiter's brother...Tom
