In my opinion the Association is THE most underrated group. Period. They write the music/lyrics AND play the instruments too. Also their harmonies are simply the best. Bar none. Nobody even comes close. I'm 68+ years old and been a big fan from waaaay back.

And this was given airplay along with songs from St.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, "So Happy Together, " by the Turtles. "Groovin," by The Rascals. "Somebody To Love," by the Jefferson Airplane. A great year for music.

The Association was much more socially conscious than they were given credit for.

This is true. They saved a lot of electricity by having the wrecking crew record all the instrumentals. They would have taken months trying to capture half that talent.

@Dayga Socially conscious with what the youth were doing. Obviously its all just flower power bullshit, but they were the openers for the Monterey Pop Festival, so thats something.

They were definitely one of the under appreciated groups of the 69s.

The Association were one of the best west coast sounds from the United States. In 1967 they brought out "Insight Out" a really apt album for that time, the era of flower power. I adored that album and when they brought out Birthday in 1968 which feautured the romantic and beautiful "Everything That Touches You" I thought I had truly found music heaven!! Wonderful music and thanks for posting this video! Tony

There was a time when people didn't watch music in video clips, just closed their eyes listening only... That's the difference!

Everything That Touches You is unfortunately overlooked and rarely played on oldies stations, but was one of their best.

@@adriantomlin2902 I don't work for Sirius XM, nor do I get any $$$ for shilling for them. However, I do have a basic version of it on my car radio, and it is a subscription, as in "Pay Money". 60s music on Ch 6 and 70s music on Ch 7. They have apps to put on your comp. & something else; Cell Ph.? I don't know for sure--too complicated for a tech yutz like me. I'm guessing it takes a specially configured radio/head unit(?) to get it, since I also push a button to get regular FM if I want to. Great music w/o a lot of DJ chatter or commercial BS. Never ever thought I'd pay for music, but it puts standard FM radio to shame.
