With a show full of chart-topping hits from the ‘60s and ‘70s – an incredible 61 Billboard Top 40 smashes – the Happy Together Tour 2024 features returning favorites and new additions – The Turtles, who also act as musical hosts for the evening, Jay and the Americans, The Association, Badfinger, The Vogues and The Cowsills.
The Turtles are best known for their harmony-heavy California pop sound. With hits such as “Elenore,” “She’d Rather Be With Me,” “It Ain’t Me Babe,” “You Showed Me” and the title of the tour, “Happy Together,” the band ruled the airwaves in the late ‘60s. Ron Dante joins the lineup to delight with his own mega-hits “Sugar, Sugar” and “Tracy.”
Few groups have reached the musical heights of Jay and the Americans. From 1962 to 1971, this group charted an amazing five Billboard Top 10 hits and had 12 records in the Top 20. Their breakout hit was “She Cried,” followed by the hit songs “Only in America,” “Come a Little Bit Closer,” “Cara Mia” and “This Magic Moment,” to name a few.
The iconic vocal group The Association enjoyed massive radio success in the 1960s with such No. 1 hits as “Cherish,” “Windy,” “Never My Love” and “Along Comes Mary.”
From the legendary lineup, Joey Molland continues the unforgettable legacy of Badfinger. One of the original signings to The Beatles’ Apple Records label, the group had its first hit single with a Paul McCartney-penned song “Come and Get It,” which went to No. 7 on the U.S. charts. Badfinger followed this with its own compositions “No Matter What,” “Day After Day” (produced by George Harrison) and “Baby Blue,” which went to No. 8, No. 4 and No. 14, respectively.
The Vogues, known for their harmony-driven soaring pop sound, had numerous Top 10 hits with singles such as “Five O’Clock World,” “You’re the One,” “My Special Angel” and “Turn Around, Look at Me,” among others.
This harmonious singing family of two brothers and a sister, which inspired the smash ‘60s hit television show “The Partridge Family,” are sure to delight with their best-known songs “Hair,” “Indian Lake,” “The Rain, the Park & Other Things (I Love the Flower Girl)” and more.
