113.5. TERRY KIRKMAN, A EULOGY (1939-2023): THE BEATING HEART OF THE ASSOCIATION HAS PASSED

Discograffiti host Dave Gebroe conducted a 13-hour interview with the two founders of legendary 1960s soft pop act The Association, Terry Kirkman and Jules Alexander, in which they rated the entirety of their own discography.
The day after the final episode aired this past Friday, Terry passed away. This, then, is a brief eulogy to make sense of the impact this great man has had on my life, and the lives of so many others he touched with his undeniable warmth and compassion.
We will definitely cherish his memory forever.
THIS FRIDAY: AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH MOJO MAGAZINE EDITOR JOHN MULVEY

3 episodes in; these interviews are astounding. Your approach allowed Terry and Jules to share their thoughts and feelings without disruption or avoidance. This only deepens my appreciation of this great ( non sunshine pop ) band! Thanks.

5 songs not 3 ….you forgot to add Never My Love and Everything That Touches You

[@Heidi-cd4ff]

I was a huge fan of Association & love the song "Never my love" R.I.P. Terry Kirkman

[@jlbaker2000]

Just in case you didn't know, Terry didn't write Never My Love.

[@jameshorton7496]

Hey man, you take care of yourself. Stay healthy.

[@mrmusic248]

The Association was a great group for 3 songs, Along Comes Mary, Cherish, and Windy. Their vocals were outstanding. It was great that D.A. Pennebaker included them in the Monterey Pop movie.

[@charlesc920]

I actually know the group more from the song Never My Love

[@discograffitipodcast2872]

Almost every song they ever recorded was great. Go back and listen to all the Discograffiti Association episodes--109 through 113.

[@artosullivan4509]

No, Pennebaker cut them out of the film that was released. You canfind them among other outtakes.

@@discograffitipodcast2872 Almost Every song? I really like the Association but I only hear the 5 big hits and then maybe a few others. The Beatles, Stones and Monkees they are not but I really like those 5 songs. 😊
