Alan Gordon, 64, a songwriter who with his writing partner Garry Bonner penned the Turtles’ No. 1 hit “Happy Together” and other catchy pop songs in the 1960s, died of cancer Nov. 22 at his home in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Besides “Happy Together,” which topped the charts in March 1967, the songwriting duo also wrote “She’d Rather Be With Me,” “You Know What I Mean” and “She’s My Girl” for the Turtles, as well as “Celebrate” for Three Dog Night.
On his own, Gordon wrote “My Heart Belongs to Me” for Barbra Streisand, who recorded it for her 1977 album “Streisand Superman.”
