Flo & Eddie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Howard Kaylan ("Eddie") and Mark Volman ("Flo" aka "Phlorescent Leech") were the original founding members of the psychedelic / bubblegum rock group The Turtles. After The Turtles dissolved, Kaylan and Volman first joined the Mothers of Invention as "Phlorescent Leech & Eddie". (They were forbidden by contract to perform under the name the "Turtles" or under their own names). They later performed under the shortened moniker of "Flo & Eddie", recorded albums, and also appeared as backup singers for T. Rex and Ray Manzarek under these names. In 1987, Kaylan and Volman appeared (as The Turtles) in a new music video of their song "Happy Together" promoting the romantic comedy: "Making Mr. Right"(1987), starring John Malkovich.
They also created the music for the films Dirty Duck and The Adventures of the American Rabbit.
