Quite possibly the finest harmony group of the `60s and one of the best light pop bands ever, Los Angeles` The Association had an unbeatable string of hits in the mid-60s. All of those hits are included here. From the mildly controversial and psych-tinged "Along Comes Mary" and "Windy"--both of which contain not-terribly-subtle drug references--to the innocuous but heartbreakingly beautiful ballads "Never My Love" and "Cherish," The Association`s stock in trade was their precise four- and five-part harmony. Most often, these beautiful multi-part vocals are topped by Terry Kirkland`s expressive leads. Although their years spent recording for Valiant and Warner Brothers Records produced many more gems than are included here, The Association`s GREATEST HITS is a perfect starting point for this wonderful band.
