- September 5 1967 (broadcast date): ‘Hollywood Palace’. ABC TV Show.
The band perform "Never My Love" and introduce guest Joey Heatherton, before participating in the big finale alongside Milton Berle, Jimmy Durante and Bing Crosby.
Imagine being introduced by these three legends, then playing a song which proved to be one of the most played of the 20th century. Farewell Terry Kirkland, Larry Ramos, and God bless the eternal, spotless sunshine pop of the Association.
Larry Ramos had a natural radiant smile like no musician I have ever seen. He left us much too early.
I know, right? His smile in every clip is heart-melting.
Somebody very special, once in a lifetime.
I saw the Hollywood Palace last time I was in LA.. It was so small! It looked like almost a regular theatre. Wasn't in the best of shape. Sad because it is so historical. I feel so old remembering when this song was popular.
God, I can hear this song a million times and it's just as good. It will never get old.
I'm 75 and always loved every song of THE ASSOCIATION! UNFORGETTABLE! THANKS! RIO DE JANEIRO, RJ, BRASIL! 💚💛💚💛💚💛🎼🎶🎵🎸🎹🎷🎺
Go gos in the rock b roll hall of fame and these guys aren’t
The Band was rubbing shoulders with some of the big time folks back then.. And to think THEY got to be the 1ST Act to open up Monterry Pop Fest in 67!!
Damn, that intro for Joey was so good. This band was so great.
Great song from a great band! Thanks for the memory.
Groups with their level of talent are so rare, and were back then
Joey Heatheron's brother Dick Heatherton was a longtime radio personality in New York, most famously on WCBS-FM (101.1) through 1986.
SERÁ QUE EXISTE ALGUÉM QUE NÃO GOSTE DESTA MUSICA ATÉ NOS DIAS DE HOJE ? E LÁ SE VÃO MAIS DE 55 ANOS .
I had a bunch of older siblings who grew up being in high school when this was popular. I was probably even more into it than them, because I was listening to their records and because the music of my high school days (the '80s) mostly sucked. I'm envious of them because they had stuff like this. But it's weird how much things had changed. I was a major high school loser in the '80s for being too nerdy. They were "the cool kids" in the '60s. They had (and still have) very narrow attitudes about everything because everything, from the girl they'd marry to the house they'd live in to the career they'd have was pretty well laid out before them. I read a comment from someone else on here saying he still sings this song to his wife. Yeah. It's beautiful. But my whole life experience is so different that I can't honestly relate to that. I have the same feelings for my wife. But our navigation through life seems to have been much less laid out. Much more of a struggle to deal with one thing at a time. Things came later to us. Because they HAD to financially. I notice other Gen-Xers who've had the same experience. We can't usually relate to the whole, married my high school sweetheart and had our house paid off by the time we were 50 thing. Many of us will never pay off a house or even a college loan. We still love our wives just as much and just as tenderly, but our world seems more crass and less inviting or forgiving. Yeah, I get it about Vietnam. But it ended (for most of them). Now we're just in a state of 40 years + of flux with continual war and no sense of community, group identity, etc. I would have NEVER fit in with my cool older siblings' friends in high school. There was no room for someone like me. I'm just rambling on. Sorry. Something about this band and their dapper suits and this song which harkens to a time in my life when I was too young to grasp what was going on, just "triggered" me. Feel free to lay into me about how ignorant I am. P.S. I just realized part of it is that my siblings were conformists. They looked like this (think "My Three Sons"). In the '80s they would have been conformists too. But in my high school, being the same conformist would have turned them into completely different individuals. I couldn't conform to what was the "norm" of the '80s (Think, "The Breakfast Club" or "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"). So I had to make a conscious decision to be on of the "losers". It took integrity, with no reward for having done it. They're so outside that realm of experience that I don't know how they would have survived (They've attended every high school reunion. I'll NEVER attend one). Yet they (baby boomers in mine and my wife's families) still feel superior, as though they made a conscious decision to live at a different time than we did. Once I again. Sorry. I'm not going to erase this because I'm curious who'll respond to me 5 years from now. Sort of like a time capsule. And I still love this band. They're a huge part of my childhood.
There was a HUGE '60s nostalgia craze that began with the motion picture "The Big Chill" in 1983 that has never really gone completely away. That introduced a new generation to that music (I also grew up in the early-to-mid 1980's) and many of those artists and those who came in the '70s had in the late 1980's and early '90s some big comeback hits.
barnabas cee.......hey, for the most part, the baby boomers did a complete hypocritical turn around from what their generation was preaching!! I was born in 1960 and graduated high school in '78 and received BA in '82. I never agreed with what those people who were ten to twelve years older than I were doing. I remember the parents of the boomers (WW2 generation) were totally shocked, disgusted, and somewhat scared about what their children were doing. I wouldn't blame them. IT WAS CULTURE SHOCK for USA!!! I blame the boomer generation for having begun many of the societal issues which today in 2023 have become out of control or irresolvable. Hooray for the greatest and silent generations!! At least those generations were not allowing American culture to fall apart at the seams. (One of the main factors for that was religion.) Had the boomers and hippies grasped religion with their philosophies, they may have been more successful with the outcomes. It didn't happen that way!! I always support this statement: If society does not have religion, culture does not have a prayer!! Think about it!! It makes a hell of a lot of sense!!👍👍👍
Wow, they faded out the song just like the record.
lol
Because they were lyp singing!
