#The60s #TheAssociation

Terry Kirkman, who co-founded "The Association" and once played in another group with Cass Elliot & David Crosby, died at 83.

I was a minor fan of The Association in the 60's. My favorite songs of theirs were: Along Comes Mary & Cherish which were on the album pictured below that I once owned and, since I'm currently on a nostalgia kick, I may repurchase it.

Funny thing is, I originally thought they were a British group because they "came along" when so many British groups first did. 🤷‍♂️

@LaurieBiagini If I was to give a Ted Talk, it’d be on the direct line from #TheAssociation to #Anxious and it’d be called ‘Sunshine Pop Is Alive And Well But It’s Called Pop Punk Now.’ The playlist would include:

#The5thDimension #TheSundowners #RogerNicholls #TheFreeDesign #All #Civ #HaveHeart #SetYourGoals and end up with the aforementioned #Anxious who I think have made the pop single of this year, hands down.
