Can I Get to Know You Better (The Turtles)

26 NOVEMBER 1966

The Turtles’ ‘Can I Get to Know You Better’ was at its peak US Billboard Hot 100 chart position of #89. This was a decent bit of jangly sunshine pop that really deserved to go Top 20. However, their biggest year was just around the corner with enduring hits such as 'Happy Together' and 'She'd Rather Be with Me' in 1967.

‘Can I Get to Know You Better’ was a cover of Betty Everett's non-charting 1964 single 'Can I Get to Know You', and it is actually a substantial reworking of the quite pedestrian original.
