A fan since early 60s. as today 2022. One of the BEST EVER bands...sorry even better that the " four favs". Love the Association forever. Thank you for enriched my life and of so many around the world.
Their Nod to the Vietnam War Tune "Requiem For The Masses" was DEEP for sure. Little did I know that I would wind up there in 1970.. These Guys were the "Talk Of The Town" for sure back when.
In my opinion the Association is THE most underrated group. Period. They write the music/lyrics AND play the instruments too. Also their harmonies are simply the best. Bar none. Nobody even comes close. I'm 68+ years old and been a big fan from waaaay back.
Cherish, Time for Living, Along Comes Mary, Windy, Never My Love, Everything That Touches You, Like Always, Requiem, Love Affair, On a Quiet Night, When Love Comes To Me. The list just goes on and on... Unparalleled Melody with great lyrics. There is a frequency of "bliss" that comes from this band. I found myself at Home with them after being lifted into the stratosphere. No other band comes close to this. I was just old enough to be listening to the radio when all of these songs were making it onto the charts.
As an Asian woman, you can imagine what it was like to see Larry Ramos on that album cover of the LP my brother bought when it came out. Finally, a big famous group with one of our. Probably the first Asian in a rock Era super group.
RIP - Terry Kirkman - 1939- Sept. 23, 2023. Thanks for the music (wrote Cherish & Everything). Please also note his work as a addiction counselor. A life well lived. Thanks again
Paul, Google, nc6 -New Colony Six- out of Chicago. Things I'd like to Say. In the video from 1968 are people dancing to the song. You know the song: baby, baby it's you I'm dreaming of, are some lyrics. The people dancing are about your age. Look at how beautiful the teenagers were at that time and put yourself on that dance floor.
I’m a little older, guys.These band,was among my favorites.Cuban, 76 years old.I’m still love these type of great music.Thanks, America.Even in music, you’re still the best.! 😀🇨🇺🇺🇸👍
I am 70 years old. There was a time once when music groups made music that was entertaining and refreshing. Young people of today don't know what they are missing.
74 years old going to sleep listening to the Association how can life get any better, got goosebumps where I shouldn't have them. This is just "Bitchin" MAD RESPECT FROM EAST LONG BEACH 🏖 👍
I always loved these songs but i was only 10 at the time but loved their songs and voices and still do and another talent smotherbrothers did live if i remember correctly was Glen Campbell!
We can all understand the words....nothing dirty or nasty....WHAT AN UNDYING GIFT TO ALL GENERATIONS (my husband of 55 years and myself were both born in 1945). Our children and grandchildren still listen to and appreciate their musical talents and gifts. We have truly been blessed.
Remember when Windy charted in 1967. It was huge in a year strewn with huge hits by the Turtles, the Rascals, the Monkees, the Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, the Doors, Paul Revere & the Raiders, Spanky & Our Gang.
Was in my mid-teens when Association burst onto the scene. Those mid 60s times bring back memories os simplicity, beauty, innocence. An entire future ahead of us.
It's hard to believe that here I am and some of you as well, after 55 years we're listening to this fantastic group. Their Requiem for the Masses was a bit heart rendering though. So many were lost in the '60's and early '70's and so history repeats itself to this day with the utter turmoil and death that's happening. I miss my yesterday's and I so terribly miss my friends, my brothers and my sisters who were taken ahead of their time. Lord help us. 🙏
A very unusual band. Pop-ish? You bet. Possibly schmalzy? Yes. Great? Without a doubt. "Requiem For The Masses" still resonates, even if it's only the boomers who remember it. "Cherish" is one of the greatest unrequited love songs ever performed. "Never My Love" is one of the most beautiful love songs ever. What set them apart was their vocalizations, the unusual use of the pipe, and the fact that the bass guitar was the foundation for many of their songs. I still listen to their music, and it takes me back to a younger time - if even for a moment.
Having survived in the wake of the Kent State massacre "Requiem" takes me back to those horrendous days; "Cherish" from the first time i heard it to this very day tears out my heart & drives to the very core of my being...with those i wished i could go back to try once more... :/
I know what you mean. I was born in 1972 and grew up with 70's and 80's which were great but I thank God my parents raised me on the music of their generation.
Locktwiste72 -- I was born in 1972 as well. Yup, my dad played this kind of music on the record player all the time, and classical music too. It's so familiar to me. 80s music was fun too -- The Police, Michael Jackson, Depeche Mode, U2 etc... But I have to say, the music of the 60s and early 70s has a different kind of substance.
AS a 67-year-old journeyman in this world, I can honestly say that this is one of the most iconic love songs ever performed. And, by what an amazing group!
Some of their music was grossly & sadly o overlooked by most of us growing up in turbulent times of 60's. What great songs, good musically, great, interesting harmonies, and good textural tones. The world needed more of this and tons less of Jane Fonda and her stupidity. Sadly we have missed our times lost!
@@luandersen1535 I’m 73, and loved this group - AND this song - in particular! I’m ALSO a woman of color and as such, am VERY PROUD to have been “one of those” who played a VERY active role in the cause for social justice issues! Sadly, it’s people like you, who have kept the very accurate and descriptive spelling “AmeriKKKa” alive and well! Congratulations!! NYC
Memories of a good time in my growing up. Both parent’s healthy and alive. Dad goes to Vietnam in 69 as a Marine. Songs of my childhood. Thanks for sharing
What I love about the Association was their harmony and melodic sound without sounding stale or repetitive. Clearly they were a pop group but loved to explore music. I'm not sure who wrote their songs but they were well crafted.
Then why didn't they bother to mike the drums and amps in the first two songs? Sounds like a live recording, but just not technically possible on the videos shown.
Dan Dee Dan Understood. A common practice, but it kind of undercuts the OP's 'live performance' characterization. Unless I recall incorrectly, the pyrotechnics involved with this very taping set Pete down the long road of serious tinnitus issues.
Even with a rough recording, one can grasp the superb vocal and melodic talent of these late 60s icons. "Windy" is one of the greatest songs from an era of great music!
Awesome compilation! Just want to say thanks for putting this out there for us. Many thanks to the Association for being such a fantastic bunch of musicians! Love the easy listening.
Folks that weren't around in 1967, have no idea how immense of a hit this song was during that year. And this was given airplay along with songs from St.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, "So Happy Together, " by the Turtles. "Groovin," by The Rascals. "Somebody To Love," by the Jefferson Airplane. A great year for music.
Ahead of their time? How so? Everything about them from their appearance to their sound just screams: mid-1960's! Not a bad thing, but they were definitely part of their time.
I remember sneaking in to see The Association at a nearby liberal arts college when I was 12 years old (1967). I think we also saw The Lettermen and The Boxtops. Pretty cool stuff back then.
Yes, I got a little nostalgic and wanted some old music. The "Associations" came to mind, so I pulled up this video. I enjoyed it immensely, but when the opening of the last number came on, I experience a few seconds of a shiver running through me! Thank you so much for the emotion that can be envoked by music.
" EVERYTHING THAT TOUCHES YOU " is a flat-out masterpiece. ------------Composed by Terry Kirkman , it is MY #1 all-time by this very underrated group.----------WolfSky9, 74 y/o
Ageless music. I think it is a shame that the Beatles, as remarkable as they were, got so much more attention than the Association. The Association was extraordinarily talented -- just amazing.
The Association did quite well with everyday Americans. Not so well with the people who wanted the rebellious sophistication of, say, the Doors or the Jefferson Airplane. I have never heard of the Association having a following outside of the USA except possibly Canada.
One of the most underrated bands in the history of the pop charts. These guys are phenomenal writers, singers and musicians. There is an innocence to their songs. They were brilliant.
One of the truly talented bands from the 1960's. Their hit song "Windy" was one of my childhood favorites when I moved to live with my aunt and uncle in the Bay area...Union City, CA. Since then I've come to appreciate more of their music. The Association was a six man band. Two band members passed away not long ago. I hope they knew the Lord Jesus Christ. Show less
Oh my goodness,,, brings me back to when I was 16 and in love for the first time,,, the harmonies and words were so simple,,, nothing like today,,, HUH!!!
They blew my mind (without the pharmaceuticals) when I first heard them on pirate radio in deepest, darkest England in the Sixties. Still love their music today - awesome!
Do I count as this generation for you if I told you I was born a year after this performance? And that I like the Association from the first time I saw them on CZcams a year ago?
My wife and I had never my love as one of the songs played during our wedding. We both might be 1990's kids but love the 1950's- pre disco 1970's music best
Yes it should be! Our military is still made up of a vast majority ofor good men and women. Dedicated, and honorable. But many of them still join because they have no other options just like then.
![[柴犬ASMR]曼玉Manyu&小白Bai 毛发护理Spa asmr](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0TsXQ7z2Dh4/mqdefault.jpg)
The music of this era will never be repeated. It was a endless amount of hit songs and bands.
Anyone else agree with me ?
There will never ever be another band...or a time...like the Association. I'm 69 now. Peace✌️
Music is like a time machine.
Nothing else brings you back to those days.
Anyone one else loving this music in 2021?
Sure do. Graduated in 69 so i was in the midst of this great era.
only just discovered them.great band
2022
I am at nearly Easter Sunday 2022.
A fan since early 60s. as today 2022. One of the BEST EVER bands...sorry even better that the " four favs". Love the Association forever. Thank you for enriched my life and of so many around the world.
We need this kinda music today 2023
Don't hold your breath.
The so-called woke people are all asleep

I agree with you 100% . I'm 66 years old and this takes me back to the music I grew up on.
i think that every time i hear them !
Windy never my love sounds familiar, though back then didnt know the singers
Perfect!
👍
I saw them at the Nj State Fair in 1986 .. amazing performance
Cherish, Time for Living, Along Comes Mary, Windy, Never My Love, Everything That Touches You, Like Always, Requiem, Love Affair, On a Quiet Night, When Love Comes To Me. The list just goes on and on... Unparalleled Melody with great lyrics.
There is a frequency of "bliss" that comes from this band. I found myself at Home with them after being lifted into the stratosphere. No other band comes close to this. I was just old enough to be listening to the radio when all of these songs were making it onto the charts.
I just turned 70 and it makes my heart happy to hear these songs again!
My favorite in the late 60's. "Never My Love" is our song....my husband of 55 years & I. ❤❤❤
What class, no other 60’s band was like this. Good American rock!
As an Asian woman, you can imagine what it was like to see Larry Ramos on that album cover of the LP my brother bought when it came out. Finally, a big famous group with one of our. Probably the first Asian in a rock Era super group.
As an Asian dude, seeing Larry Ramos for the first time in the music video caught me off guard and thought "hell yeah!"
The Association was my first concert. After the show, I was waiting for a ride and he stood with me. What a nice guy.
Larry Ramos was also a folk singer....
I’m a white woman, and I think Larry Ramos is adorable 🥰 and talented!
Larry Ramos was my favorite member of the Association
Anyone Who Isn't Touched Deeply by "Requiem For the Masses" Hasn't Got a Soul..
😢 😢
That one is a masterpiece.
Lame and deriviative, maybe no soul but some taste.
"Never My Love" has to be one of the top 50 best songs ever!
Oh, I forgot about "Everything that Touches You"!!! All their songs were special. So easy to listen to. Such a rare group!!!
The Best! It is awesome that they used Never My Love in Series five of the Outlander show on Starz
top 5 at least what other songs can make you feel like that when you hear it
At the end of 1969, a national poll was conducted on the best songs of the decade. Never my Love was #1
RIP - Terry Kirkman - 1939- Sept. 23, 2023. Thanks for the music (wrote Cherish & Everything). Please also note his work as a addiction counselor. A life well lived. Thanks again
I am now 72, amazing generation I grew up with music that will last forever, what a great time, full of memories.

so true. they were crazy underrated
I love them too.
Saw them in Oklahoma 2 years ago. Still GREAT !!
still touring
Very under appreciated
I’m a little older, guys.These band,was among my favorites.Cuban, 76 years old.I’m still love these type of great music.Thanks, America.Even in music, you’re still the best.! 😀🇨🇺🇺🇸👍
@josemiranda2578 Cuba's got some great music too, Chico (but you know that!)...
I am 70 years old. There was a time once when music groups made music that was entertaining and refreshing. Young people of today don't know what they are missing.
The lyrics of these two wonderful singers is pure magic....Makes My 70 year old heart fill with joy and happy memories.. !!!!
Me too. To us this new stuff just doesn't cut it
Seventy In November ...
Me too.... love Cherish is the word....
Makes my 57 yr. old heart fill with joy and happy memories too!
They really are amazing, and timeless.
Where are these stars now??? Im still alive at nearly 70. Omg. We had the best music.
74 years old going to sleep listening to the Association how can life get any better, got goosebumps where I shouldn't have them. This is just "Bitchin" MAD RESPECT FROM EAST LONG BEACH 🏖 👍
Never My Love is one of the sweetest songs I've ever heard.
I always loved these songs but i was only 10 at the time but loved their songs and voices and still do and another talent smotherbrothers did live if i remember correctly was Glen Campbell!
I grew up in the greatest era there was good true music great lyrics and the best in musical genius’s
Oh how I love every one of these songs. Now at 76 it was such a pleasure to hear them again.
The harmonies, lyrics and class of these guys is so wonderful. 2022
I was 11 and I loved music
1965-1969 is the greatest time in American Music
RIP Terry Kirkland. You made such a contribution to the group.
Such an underrated band. As a kid in the late sixties, they were my favorite group.
We can all understand the words....nothing dirty or nasty....WHAT AN UNDYING GIFT TO ALL GENERATIONS (my husband of 55 years and myself were both born in 1945). Our children and grandchildren still listen to and appreciate their musical talents and gifts. We have truly been blessed.
and they were all straight edge...no drugs, no alcohol...every one of them lived clean!!
RIP Larry Ramos and Brian Cole.
Between The Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, and The Association, the mood of the American mid-late 1960's was captured for eternity.
Remember when Windy charted in 1967. It was huge in a year strewn with huge hits by the Turtles, the Rascals, the Monkees, the Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, the Doors, Paul Revere & the Raiders, Spanky & Our Gang.
"Never, my Love" always reminds me how I feel about my wife.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
That's Sweet!
It is wonderful to be in love with your wife....I have been for 50 years.
Mary. My first girl. I still love 💘 her.
55yrs ago.
One of the best band groups from the sixties.
Best concert I ever went to. And that includes many name bands of the time!
Was in my mid-teens when Association burst onto the scene. Those mid 60s times bring back memories os simplicity, beauty, innocence. An entire future ahead of us.

Heart rending is the expression, not rendering.
Still great in 22.
Good Lord!
You said it, BROTHER!
They were one of my favorite groups in the 70s sure do miss that music
Some of the most pure and beautiful music ever made.

You can still hear it now. There was horrible music then too, it just didn't survive, lol!
@Mike Allan-I was a wee lad at this time but luckily I was a fan of chords and harmony and appreciated music from this period and previous years.
l was born in 1961. But I knew their music in 1980s. I love their songs even now.

Melodies like these are a lost art. People went to concerts to hear the music and listen to the pure vocals
five seconds of listening to this song, and you immediately know it cant be from any other decade but the 60s.
Memories of a good time in my growing up. Both parent’s healthy and alive. Dad goes to Vietnam in 69 as a Marine. Songs of my childhood. Thanks for sharing
I remember this band had a bunch of hits, I loved these songs, as a kid in the 60's,70's. Thanks for the memory.
miss the great decades, 60's, 70's...glad i was shaped by them!
What I love about the Association was their harmony and melodic sound without sounding stale or repetitive. Clearly they were a pop group but loved to explore music. I'm not sure who wrote their songs but they were well crafted.
Tandyn Almer wrote "Along Came Mary". A forgotten genius.
They came to our town and wrote a song called dubu,que blues
@@janeweber8787 That is an excellent song.
I contend that they were fusion, before fusion became "cool" - like Steely Dan a few years later.
Fred
Jane Weber Dubuque (Iowa) Blues
I Got the Northwest Iowa Blues! 😏🤔
Right guys in the right place at the right time the association thanks for the great music love it
What a great group. So ahead of their time.
“When we met I was sure ‘out to lunch’
Now my empty cup is as sweet as the punch.”
Love that lyric!
It’s not that they were overlooked, it’s that there was so much great music at the time
God bless the Smothers Brothers -- they actually insisted on capturing live performances for second season shows, and they had EVERYBODY on.
Then why didn't they bother to mike the drums and amps in the first two songs? Sounds like a live recording, but just not technically possible on the videos shown.
Colin Rutheford Live vocals mixed over the recorded version -- much easier to set up for TV if only have to worry about a few vocal mics
Dan Dee Dan Understood. A common practice, but it kind of undercuts the OP's 'live performance' characterization. Unless I recall incorrectly, the pyrotechnics involved with this very taping set Pete down the long road of serious tinnitus issues.
Lorraine Alden Including The Who.
I loved the Smothers Brothers!
The harmonies of The Association were quite incredible. Superior musicians.
One of the best bands that most people today have never heard of.
One of the greatest groups to ever come together. They wrote some truly amazing pieces that really captured the essence of our generation.
RIP Larry Ramos , . .what an amazing vocalist and part of The Association, . . .
Joe richar
He was also the "FUNNY GUY" of the bunch. Saw them in 68; Farmington UT (The Lagoon).
Everything that touches you, is absolutely Gorgeous..All these years later...They were perfect harmonies
It's my favorite!
I love Larry's sweet smile while singing Windy ❤️
RIP and bless him
This Group PERFECTLY EMBODIED The SPIRIT OF THE 6OS !!!....
I really love that they wrote songs about love. Miss that in today’s music..
Absolutely one of the greatest pop groups in history. Several of their recording are timelessly beautiful.
...I LOVE THE HARMONIES OF THIER VOICES......AND WODERFUL SONGS......THANK´S FOR POSTING AND SHARING...
....THEIR VOICES......WONDERFUL......
Even with a rough recording, one can grasp the superb vocal and melodic talent of these late 60s icons. "Windy" is one of the greatest songs from an era of great music!
I feel fortunate that I grew up with The Association songs playing on the radio - every one of their songs transported me. Love them so much.
I forgot how wonderful the Association was! I also loved the Smothers Brother’s Comedy Hour.
So much talent glad i was there way back when 😊
Wonderful music for all the ages, The Association!!
Awesome compilation! Just want to say thanks for putting this out there for us. Many thanks to the Association for being such a fantastic bunch of musicians! Love the easy listening.
Oh, the memories.
Windy is my favorite. Always made me smile when I was a child

Forgot how good they were, one of the best vocal groups. Brought back a lot of good memories.
Along Comes Mary was such a cool pop song to come out in 1966.
Pot song. Mary jane.
@@richardpowell3259 yes it was. Tandyn Almer said so himself and he should know. He wrote it.
Such an underrated band. Great harmonies.
What a beautiful band of musicians !!
This band was wayyyyy ahead of its time! The drummer looks like a long-lost Cowsill!
Ahead of their time? How so? Everything about them from their appearance to their sound just screams: mid-1960's! Not a bad thing, but they were definitely part of their time.
Drummer's name is Ted Bleuchel Jr.(think that's correct spelling)
Absolutely incredible musical genius master shaman musicians.

@@lylecosmopolite Also in the Philippines many followers here. Count me in.
This song reminds me of youth, hope, and above all love.
I really love all of their songs..that's why ..they're always my fav...I can't forget them..never my love...
Larry Ramos and the rest of The Association was Sunshine Pop at it's very best. Always looked good and sounded great!
What a talented group! Voices from Heaven!
One of the most underrated bands in the history of the pop charts. These guys are phenomenal writers, singers and musicians. There is an innocence to their songs. They were brilliant.
Much overlooked,indeed
What great harmony, they don’t make them like that anymore.
Nothing like a 1-derful, talented band playing their best stuff live, and these guys were so great, God bless them !!!
One of the truly talented bands from the 1960's. Their hit song "Windy" was one of my childhood favorites when I moved to live with my aunt and uncle in the Bay area...Union City, CA. Since then I've come to appreciate more of their music.
The Association was a six man band. Two band members passed away not long ago. I hope they knew the Lord Jesus Christ.
Show less
Missing is Cherish, probably their most famous song and because of a 45 copy of that record a milestone in my youth.
Oh my goodness,,, brings me back to when I was 16 and in love for the first time,,, the harmonies and words were so simple,,, nothing like today,,, HUH!!!
They blew my mind (without the pharmaceuticals) when I first heard them on pirate radio in deepest, darkest England in the Sixties. Still love their music today - awesome!
Was it Caroline? Or maybe London?
Requiem for the Masses needs to be reintroduced to this generation. What a wonderful find this was! Love, love, love it.
Do I count as this generation for you if I told you I was born a year after this performance? And that I like the Association from the first time I saw them on CZcams a year ago?
My wife and I had never my love as one of the songs played during our wedding.
We both might be 1990's kids but love the 1950's- pre disco 1970's music best
Yes it should be! Our military is still made up of a vast majority ofor good men and women. Dedicated, and honorable. But many of them still join because they have no other options just like then.
Wow they are predecessors of both DEVO and Gary Puckett and the Union Gap :)
@@dragoflight2noname952 definitely a darn good wedding song!!
Thank you for this video. When I was 12/13 years old in 1967 I was a fan. The Beatles and Beach Boys too.
Ahhhh, Real Music!! What a breath of fresh air!
Indeed!
About the last era of REAL music and REAL musicians........not this noise of today. Everything That Touches You.............GREAT tune
Just for the record, Larry Ramos was actually Filipino chinese. He was also from Hawaii.
wow, is that so? well my middle name is Ramos and I'm a Filipino
@Dayga you mean why his background, and none of the other band mates?
There were very few rock ‘n rollers of Asian descent in the ‘60s. In addition to Larry Ramos, Billy Hinsche’s parents were Filipino.
Larry was also part of the New Christie Minstrels. I saw them as a child at the Greek theater in Los Angeles in the 60s.
Not that it matters....stop being divisive, we are all Americans and let it go at that. shit.
