Biography:
The Happenings were a pop music group from the 1960s. Their major hits were "See You In September" and a cover of "I Got Rhythm" updated for the nascent pop/rock era. Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, "See You In September" the song was listed in a memo containing 150 songs that radio conglomerate Clear Channel Communications recommended to be pulled from the airwaves - despite the fact that the song is about two lovers saying goodbye for the summer and had nothing to do with terrorism whatsoever.
