"Grim Reaper of Love" is a single by The Turtles released in May, 1966. It was written by Turtles members Chuck Portz and Al Nichol. It is an early example of raga rock, using a Vinnie Bell electric sitar. It also appears to be the first released rock record that uses a 5 rhythm (3-2 on the opening verse), predating the Beatles "Within You Without You", Frank Zappa's "Flower Punk", and the Byrds "Tribal Gathering".
