<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> </p><p>The very first full biography of The Association, one of the most successful bands to come out of the mid-1960s US folk-rock boom, with some of the most distinctive harmony sounds of the era, but one that is largely overlooked today. The group achieved two US Billboard Number One hits, a number of further Top 20 places, along with a run of successful best-selling LPs. In addition, whilst often credited as being one of the hardest working bands of the era, they are also honoured as having the second-most played song on US radio history during the 20th century! <br /> <br /> This extensive biography looks at the early foundations of the line-up, from the various group member's struggles in an early 1960s Los Angeles, touring the folk clubs and coffee houses, through to their 1965 breakthrough and their first recording contract.<br /> Then, follow the band through the heady days of a psychedelic 1960s America, and into the confusion of the 1970's where tragedy, disappointment and disarray left the band on the edge of breakup. <br /> <br /> The careers of each of the band members are discussed at length as they came, left and re-joined, most notably during the 1980s reunion tour, with full access to the recollections from principle members Jules Alexander, Terry Kirkman and Jim Yester.<br /> <br /> Finally, we bring the story fully up to date, with the band celebrating their 50th Anniversary and still out on the road, playing to packed venues across the country.<br /> Cherish IS indeed the word!</p>
