Mark Volman, singer and co-founder of the 1960s pop-rock group The Turtles, known for their hit "Happy Together," passed away at 78. His death in Nashville followed a brief illness; he also battled Lewy body dementia. Volman, alongside fellow Turtle Howard Kaylan, achieved further success as Flo & Eddie, collaborating with Frank Zappa and backing numerous prominent artists. Their legal battles secured better copyright protection for pre-1972 recordings. Volman's career spanned decades, including teaching and a 2023 memoir.
