MARK VOLMAN, a founding member of the 1960s rock band the Turtles and singer known as “Flo” of Flo & Eddie, died in Nashville, Tenn. on Friday after a brief sudden illness. He was 78. Shall we talk about The Turtles? First cracking the Top Ten in 1965 with their cover of Bob Dylan's "It Ain't Me, Babe." they made the Top 30 later that year with the similar-sounding "Let Me Be," written by P.F. Sloan. Their early 1966 hit, "You Baby," was written by P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri; you may recognize the voice introducing the sync of the band performing on the streets of L.A. An album cut from the You Baby album, "Outside Chance," was co--written by Warren Zevon. "Happy Together," rejected by countless performers, became both their biggest hit and their signature song, knocking the Beatles' "Penny Lane" from the No. 1 slot in the Spring of 1967. "She'd Rather Be With Me" was of the same vintage. "Elenore," with its unique use of the term et cetera, was a jab at their label for demanding more hits like "Happy Together," but went on to hit the Top Ten anyway. Near the end, the band appeared on the Mike Douglas show to play "House on the Hill." For many years after the band dissolved, Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman went by the name Flo & Edde, because their contract barred from using the Turtles name or their own names. The duo continued to record their own material, but were heard by most adding their trademark harmonies to hits like T. Rex's "Bang A Gong" and Bruce Springsteen's "Hungry Heart."

TOM SHIPLEY, Tom Shipley, half of the folk-rock duo Brewer & Shipley, whose dizzying encounter with cannabis at a gig provided inspiration for “One Toke Over the Line,” a surprise Top 10 hit in 1971 that lived on as a timeless artifact of the stoned 1960s, died on Aug. 24 in Columbia, Mo.
