Like the Beatles, they really understood harmony. Happy to have had this band.

[@dennisowen4410]

Takes me back to a time in my young life ( 18 ) when I had my whole life ahead of me. Turn the clock to today, I'm 72 and find myself looking back at the beautiful journey the only girl I ever loved ( married ) 53 years 08/02/21, have gone thru together. When I hear this song today it takes me back again to that special time.

[@jeffreyramsey4538]

Dennis Owen so awesome! Congrats to you and your wife and like u this song,group and era brings back and holds very very special memories for me, the greatest era in music for me

[@frederickharper5206]

This was my case as well❤

[@williamca7067]

What a beautiful story just a fact you were 18 and you fell love and you didn’t serve at Vietnam. You found the love of your life … God Bless

[@stubbsatlacey]

The sixties were the best years for good bands like this one, Gary Puckett and Union Gap, the Mamas and Papas, and a whole lot more back then, I was lucky to have been a part of that era of wonderful music.

[@marthaperdew]

Me too , I miss those days

[@beaverstandig1747]

My Husband proposed to me to this song. RIP my love until we meet again

[@daveyhouston]

I am sorry for your loss 😭 but I am a senior and no one has ever been in love with me thank God my time is up ! God bless you see you in heaven.

[@beaverstandig1747]

I’m sure many have loved you, God Bless

[@johnsullivan4976]

Bea, this song is like your love.......Timeless.

[@vivianoshea1083]

This song was popular when I fell in love with my husband. Almost lost him when he moved away but thankfully he came back. We had many great years together and still miss him especially when I hear this song.

[@michaelbechtel4944]

[@kenw.1112]

A PERFECT SONG THAT WILL LAST FOREVER!!!

[@SusanLMcGee]

I was born in 1964 and remember hearing my mom hum this around the house. Nothing will ever beat the Association for writing more beautiful music and the harmonization was awesome.

[@elmerexpress]

This song is a pearl of the era! The atmosphere around it, mostly so brilliantly expressed by the vocals, is still alive in my heart all these years later. I was 14 then, and this song was one, amongst several from that time, that changed my life for the better.

[@jayknowles3170]

Masterpiece of tender vocals, beautiful keyboards, greatest love song ever played.

[@Sforeczka]

I was 7 years old when this song was popular. It's still one of my favorites, and it reaches into my heart and pulls out tears.

[@michaelfernando523]

Six impeccable voices with a powerful haunting organ.Make sure You have enough tears left.

[@richarddambrosio3602]

Beautiful song. Brings back great memories of the fall of 1967.

[@trek-way5800]

Along with Cherish, I rate this as one of the best songs ever produced. The Association were a special band. Too bad they didn't have more hits.

[@jimicmore1895]

If only one band had the talent to produce hits cherish & never my love....in their career....that would be enough, but the Asso. had more hits also

[@dfcardenas22]

Trek-Way how about "Windy"?

[@scottmiller6495]

Wait a minute what happened to Windy? That was their greatest hit and it has the greatest harmonies ever put together of all time !!!!!

[@yootoober2009]

At least they were not a one-hit-wonder band..

[@tedgegi155]

As a kid back then, never a big fan of this group, but this song was by far and away their best piece of work.

Those vocal harmonies are part of the reason why this band is so good. Cheers!

Whoever arranged their vocal parts really knew his stuff. Those are complex, unusual chord choices.

Never My Love is my favorite harmony song I can recall since it’s relaxing and it even sounds like a nice rainy and drizzling weather song.

Never again songs this genre will ever come up.. so grateful my late Dad made me listen to the classics..

Terry and Larry Ramos, most powerful 1-2 punch with Mighty Jim Yester backing vocals perfectly done. Larry Ramos was masterful in every aspect.

Modern kids have missed out on so much and don't even realise it, music is about love not hoes, bitches, guns 'n' drugs, murder etc....

[@bahamutsix5765]

that’s a pretty bad generalization. there’s a lot of people from the younger generation that are really into oldies that are also introduced from video games/movies etc. Maybe not this video in particular, but a lot of comments from those videos seem to be filled with younger folks.

This was documented to be the second most played song on radio and television in the 20th century, trailing only "You've Lost that Loving Feeling." Played at least seven million times. The Wrecking Crew - of course. Hal Blaine on drums; Joe Osborn on bass; and Larry Knechtel tickling the keys.

[@stevevilinsky7464]

R YES, IT'S THE 2ND MOST PLAYED SONG OF THE 20TH CENTURY , BUT IRONICALLY IT NEVER MADE THE TOP SPOT, IT PEAKED AT NUMBER TWO, HELD OUT OF THE TOP SPOT BY " THE LETTER", THE BOX TOPS.
