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.
