The
Association
THE
ASSOCIATION is one of the most popular and successful bands to
have come out of the sixties. They have sold over thirty million
records, earning six gold discs and one platinum. Their album,
"THE ASSOCIATION GREATEST HITS" (Warner Bros.), continues
to be one of the longest best selling albums in the history of
the company. Their number one hits, "NEVER MY LOVE, WINDY,
ALONG COMES MARY," and "CHERISH" have achieved
"standard" status, receiving almost as much airplay
today as they ever have. The songs include "GOODBYE COLUMBUS,"
which was the title song for the film and was written and performed
by "THE ASSOCIATION." It also won the Golden Globe and
Foreign Press Awards. Other songs, including "REQUIEM FOR
THE MASSES, TIME FOR LIVING, ALONG COMES MARY, EVERYTHING THAT
TOUCHES YOU," and "SIX MAN BAND", showcase the
versatility, the carefully crafted vocals, and the intricately
woven instrumentation that is the signature of "THE ASSOCIATION,"
a cornerstone of American pop music.
In 1967 "THE
ASSOCIATION" was given the honor of opening the first international
pop festival in America, "THE MONTEREY POP FESTIVAL."
THE ASSOCIATION appeared on every major television variety show
at the time ED SULLIVAN (twice), THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS (three
times), AMERICAN BANDSTAND (again and again), SHINDIG, THE CARSON
SHOW, THE CAVETT SHOW, THE ANDY WILLIAMS SHOW, THE CAROL CHANNING
SPECIAL... the list goes on and on. They are still thrilling audiences
today all over the world!
