Ah, The Turtles.
Went to HS with them. The band was known as the "Crossfires" in those days. Mark Volman and Howard Kaplan (the front guys) were fat even back then. Chuck Portman was the drummer, I think. Portman was a helluva swimmer as I remember. All nice Jewish boys.
IIRC, Mark and Howard morphed into "Flo and Eddie" some time later, still fat.
We Gentiles went to Viet Nam.
I liked to listen to Flo and Eddie on FM radio back in the Ford/Carter era.

and toured with Frank Zappa on “Just Another Band From LA”—best concert I ever been to.
