Wow! Great to see this video clip, even if it has deteriorated over the years. The show was broadcast in full "living" color but this tape is so washed out, you can only see the color reflected off an electric guitar now. I recall that the Smother Brothers Hour show was a top-rated variety show back in the '60s that frequently had millions of viewers each week-- it was part of the "groovy" scene back then. A kid growing up in the '60s most likely knew who Laurel and Hardy were, but that act is now about 100 years old! How many people under the age of 50 have ever heard of Laurel and Hardy? Not many, I am sure. Anyway, I laughed pretty hard watching this clip, as I now see the adult humor that made the Smother Brothers so funny with their straight guy and funny guy routine. I don't recall that I laughed so much back then as a kid watching this show. Great to see the Association perform one of their many hits-- this one being "Windy." Anyway, this was a treat to see, despite the poor condition of the recording-- at least the sound quality seems pretty good still although it seems mixed in with pre-recorded singing.

@Joe Carlton Yes, it's a shame this one didn't get cleaned up like a couple others did for release on dvd/rebroadcast. For the most part, this performance is definitely a lip-sync to the studio recording... although the lead vocals are mic'd for live. Thanks for commenting!

I like the cheezy quick one liner humor, oh and this song, its one I like its uplifting and happy, and kind of relaxing, one memorie I have of hearing this song is comming home from the west noble cross contry invitational in 1999 on the bus it was a nice day and we were all kind of tired experianceing a runners euphoria if you will, I remember hearing this one on the radio, and loved it, another pop song I like from highschool was when the band played dawning of the age of aquerious and let the sun shine in, during the half time show at the football game one year, I liked that one too, of course I grew up listining to oldies radio as that is what my perants had on when we would go anywhere in the car I learned to apreciate it , and like it, even saw the association this year though terry dont sing with them anymore and I was dissapponted by that, they still had three in the band and del ramos larrys brother plays with them as well so it made up for it a little bit, but they were only one of the 6 bands that did not sound like they used to, though mostly due to not having the 6 part harmonie anymore with soo many members gone. anyway if you like music like this from the sixties go see the happy togather tour when it comes near your town or city, it is well worth it, loved the grass roots, the turtles and the buckinhams, it was nice to see soo many ledgends in concert, oh and mark lindsey from paul revear and the raiders, as well as the association and the cowsills, they were good too, though many of the cowsills are passed away as well, but there are still three left right now, and as for mark lindsey you sware he was only 40 somthing the way he dances and bounces around on the stage, and the turtles well they are still full of comady after soo many years.

The Wrecking Crew were actually the musicians for over 200 top 20 hits, and an amazing 38 numbers ones from musicians from Neil Diamond, 5th Dimension, The Beach Boys (Good Vibrations plus many more), Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Glen Campbell, John Denver, Mamas and Papas, Sonny and Cher, and Simon and Garfunkel, too many to list here. Check Wiki.
