I managed to salvage & do some some repair on the poor quality of the performance video on the strikes me about the performance,they showed more of the girls standing behind them than the actual video on the right is a montage video of pictures from the group. “You Showed Me“ is a song written by Gene Clark and Jim McGuinn (later known as Roger) of the Byrds in was recorded by the Turtles and released as a single at the end of 1968, becoming the group’s last big hit in the song has also been covered or partially incorporated into other songs by a number of other acts over the years, including the Lightning Seeds, Salt-N-Pepa, and Lutricia McNeal. In 1968, the song was recorded by the Turtles as part of their album The Turtles Present the Battle of the was also released as a single in 1968, reaching No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. “You Showed Me“ had been introduced to the Turtles by their producer and former bass player, Chip Douglas, who had first become acquainted with the song after hearing Clark, McGuinn, and Crosby perform it at The Troubadour in had also performed the song with Clark during 1966, while he was a member of Gene Clark and the the song had originally been an uptempo number, Douglas first demonstrated it for the Turtles’ vocalists Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman on a harmonium with a broken bellows, requiring him to play the song slower tempo impressed Kaylan and Volman and consequently, the Turtles’ recording of the song uses this slower arrangement. Their version features an accompaniment of strings, including violins, violas, and cellos.
