I don’t know how old you are but the Brady Bunch had an episode where the oldest Brady boy was being made into a popstar. When he heard his voice after they altered it he quit because it did not sound like him. And we all remember mili vanilli.

Gary Lewis'(of Gary Lewis and the Playboys) voice was enhanced by another singer (Ron Hicklin) on most, or all of the Gary Lewis and the Playboys recordings. And "The Playboys" did not play on the recordings. This was done by a bunch of highly talented musicians known as "The Wrecking Crew", one of whom was Glen Campbell.

The Wrecking Crew also played on recordings of The Monkees, The Turtles and numerous other 60s groups.

And "The Playboys" did not play on the recordings.

My understanding was that the Playboys did play on the early tracks, but were just buried in the mix by the studio musicians. Lewis was also doubled and tripled at times, and they eventually took him off of the drums.

If you look at lip-synched Turtles' performances on YouTube, I would say the Turtles' drummer did his part.

The Wrecking Crew did not play on The Turtles’ recordings . Urban myth .

” Volman says he is gratified by the fact that the musicians in the group actually played on the track ( Happy Together ) instead of L.A. studio players such as the Wrecking Crew, who recorded the lion’s share of great pop records in the mid-’60s. “I’m proud of all the records we made, but I’m most proud that the band really played the music, even as far back as ‘It Ain’t Me Babe.’ When you hear ‘You Showed Me’ or a beautiful song and record like ‘Elenore’ [another hit for the band] explode out of the 5-inch speaker in your car…that is what I am most proud of. I remember making every part of those records and how every member of the band was just a kid expressing himself. That, to me, is what made The Turtles such a great experience. We didn’t get caught up and overwhelmed by the need to be successful. We became successful by making our music in a very honest way.”
