According
to BMI, 'Never my Love' was the second most played song on American
Radio and TV in the 20th Century. Phil Spector produced the most played
in the 20th Century: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin".
The
older I get, the more I appreciate this band. At the time they came
out, I was more into hard rock and psycodellic* music. But as I've
gotten older, I've come to appreciate this band a lot. They were pretty
damn good. It's a pity about the bass player, he died supposedly from a
heroin overdose.(sad) P.S I don't have a dictionary with me,
which is why I mispelled Psyxxxxx! Sorry about that!
I
was a kid when this song came out but my mom loved it. 51 years later
and I still know all the words. How many singers today will be able to
say that about their songs?
Check
out Rick Beato's videos. He's a record producer, song writer, etc.,
who really goes into the details of it. Bottom line, it's so expensive
to produce records now that the production company's won't take a chance
on anything that doesn't fit a set, standard formula. They aren't
looking for "artists", but someone who they can package to fit that
formula.
WOW! Check out the NY Times from 8/9/2018. They have a major
analytical article EXACTLY about this.
I
was 16yrs old when I first heard this in a juke box....then heard it
more during dances.Loved & love it still.Tnx for posting...you sent
me flying back in time.
In
our city pool they played this song on the jukebox along with Tommy
James and the Shondells and countless others in the 60's during the
summers. Great stuff and great memories.
Chris, you and I would sing this to our girl friends in highschool in the late 60s.
You checked out not telling me you were leaving.
No Im forced to remember my old Highschool budy thru this song.
Not a girlfriend.
Turk Ill see ya when I get there.
You sure were a good bro. Take care bro.
Hutch.
I'm
70 years old and this is the first time I've seen a video of the
Association doing this song that I've heard a million times! That's the
beauty of You-tube! So interesting! : )
I
recently saw this group live and during this song I couldn't help but
just be happy to be experiencing it with the love of my life, I don't
know how many of the original members were still around to be there but I
enjoyed it so much.
Never
My Love. My husband love this particular song by The Association very
much. Pagtsagaan ko na lang daw sya sa kanyang mga kakulitan at
kalokohan...forever pahabol pa nya. LoL
Saw
them last night.they rocked. Almost made me cry they we're so
beautiful. Yester and a guy who must be ramo's brother because he looked
just like him and of course Larry died in 2014

hootz - did you ever watch the film "cars" by pixar? i highly recommend
- it´s a sort of hommage to those old times, when the legendary route
66 was still used for cruising slowly, enjoying the ride rather then
hasting towards a distant aim as fast as possible...
i love how they turned the cars into "humans" while still showing all
the old models exactly and lovingly how they looked like, incredible
work...
the second "cars" film is not as good, but i still love it, because in
that one they also show the old european cars, ever so sweet... :-)
i for one live at the edge of a small village in northern germany - i
have a view across the fields from my kitchen window, sometimes big
v-formations of wild geese and cranes fly by, many other birds fly
around, the biggest one is the red kite - i take my time for doing
things - many people don´t understand me for not hunting the big career -
well, i deliberately renounced a long time ago, and i don´t regret
that, i have a loving family, i have peaceful and decent neighhbours, i
even have chickens, haha.... :-)
in the evenings i like to sit in my garage which opens up from the the
rear of the house onto the yard - i have a piano there and then i play
and play and fly away in my dreams...............
greetings from germany

What
a great song from yesterday! I grew up listening to The Association
and they recorded a lot of wonderful music. This song and the song,
"WENDY" are my favorites from this group. I have a lot of their CD's
now instead of the vinyl and the music still sounds great!
The
best era ever for pop music. I'm so glad I grew up with this awesome
music. IMO, the majority of the stuff that has been produced from the
1980's on is pure crap.
Essa
música e de maio de1966 eu tinha 13,5 anos tinha mudado de bairro. Ao
escutar essa música do associechan. Fui na casa dela mas ela se mudou
foi a segunda vez que me apaixonei
This
song came out 3 years before I was born ...I love this song so much
that I feel I was born in the 60s..Just really great listening to music
of this era..
Saw
them play the Orange County fair about 1992. Not all original band as
they had some long hair metal guitar player in the band playing this
peace and love music. Not sure if the Hawaiian guy was in the band.
Forgot.
