Founding member and last original performer for the 60s rock group The Turtles. Volman sang harmonizing vocals for their hits including Happy Together, She'd Rather Be with Me and one of my favorites, Guide for the Married Man (the title song was better than the movie).
Age 78

Re: RIP Mark Volman
Everytime I hear the Turtles, doesn't matter the song, it takes me back to my junior high years ('69 and '70) and our dining area in the house we lived in.... dark panelled walls with orange and yellow curtains. I'm not sure why that is the only space of my youth that comes to mind for that group. No other place, and no other group brings that place. Quite possibly I got their greatest hits album from Columbia House then and played it over and over.
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

The Turtles - any song - takes me back to sitting on Eddie Downey's porch.
Between six and eight of us on a rowhouse porch, spilling out onto the steps. Singing along to the radio.
That specific group in that specific time.
