"Turn! Turn! Turn!" — is a single written by Pete Seeger in the late 1950s. The lyrics, except for the title which is repeated throughout the track and the final two lines, are adapted word-for-word from
the English version of the 3-rd chapter of the biblical Book of Ecclesiastes. The single was recorded in 1962 as "To Everything There Is a Season" on The Limeliters' album Folk Matinee and then some months later on Seeger's own The Bitter and the Sweet.
The single became an international hit in late 1965 when it was covered by the American folk rock band The Byrds, entering at #80 on October 23, 1965, before reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on December 4, 1965, #3 in Canada (Nov. 29, 1965), and also peaking at #26 on the UK Singles Chart. In the U.S., the song holds distinction as the #1 hit with the oldest lyrics
