"Turn On A Friend (To The Good Life)" by The Peanut Butter Conspiracy

The Peanut Butter Conspiracy were a typical 60s psychedelic rock band that scored a single chart appearance in 1967 when "It's A Happening Thing" scratched its way to #93. 

The band was fronted by Barbara Robison, who went by the name of Sandi Peanut Butter. Robison was one of the first women to ever front a rock band and was in the musical Hair after the band broke up in 1970. She passed away in 1988 at the age of 43. Bassist Al Brackett also shared vocal duties.

"Turn On A Friend (To The Good Life)" kicks off their second album, "The Great Conspiracy." Probably one of their more radio-friendly tracks, it is surprising it didn't chart.
