September 27 - Happy Together

In 1971, Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention were still only called the Mothers, and they included two singers who had known great success with the band The Turtles, Mark Volman (Flo, The Phlorescent Leech) and Howard Kaylan (Eddie - they were later known simply as Flo and Eddie). The Turtles had one massive hit with the song Happy Together, and when Flo and Eddie joined The Mothers, the song found its way into their shows. It was performed at Fillmore East in June of 1971, and found its way onto the live recording from that show - and I absolutely love this version - it always gets me in good mood...

And as a bonus - here is some live footage from a Dutch Frank Zappa documentary:
