Never My Love - The Association | Andy & Alex FIRST TIME REACTION!

Sublime. Wonderful vocals. Calm, appropriate, understated, collaborative musicianship. WOW many times over....

It reminds me of such a cool time as a kid. My parents in their 20's. Convertable Impalas,big wheels,hot wheels. No cussing all the time because of stress. What a magical time to be a kid. Of course the Vietnam war was raging. But that was on the other side of the world.The 1970's changed a lot things. It added a lot more stress to our family financially. My dad ended up passing away at a young age. Its songs like this that take me back to a good place. It warms my heart.

It’s a serious vow song there are marriages that last 70 years!❤ for example

Beautiful song ❤❤❤❤❤❤

huge hit for 2 decades

The Association were as good as other '60s Pop groups who are better known today. And they were just as popular back then. They had four classic radio hits that define '60s sunshine Pop: Cherish, Windy, Along Comes Mary, and this one.

Keep in mind that they were mainly a live performing band; their actual records were made by a handful of LA Studio musicians now known as the Wrecking Crew.

The late studio great Larry Knechtel played keyboards on this one. He also played bass on the Byrds' "Mister Tambourine Man"; lead guitar on Bread's "Guitar Man"; and piano on Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Among others.

All their hits are even better on their LIVE album . these guys could play .

I prefer the Blue Swede 1973 version.

Anybody remember the movie “Goodbye Columbus”? The Association did the theme song. It’s a banger (for this group)!
I like the upbeat songs; the 2 popular slower love songs often mentioned got overdone for me.
I’ll take Windy and Along Comes Mary any day. ACMary lyrics are not easy to sing!
But “Everything That Touches You” is up there, too. Also “Time for Living”. Got to stop now, there’s too many.

This song was a monster hit in the 60's, it still is. I'm glad I got to experience this when I was a teenager when it was released. Radio stations played the hell out of it. S

One of my favorite songs ever. Gorgeous harmonies and moving instrumental performances. Really hits a spot. Also worth checking out is Donny Hathaway's version. Very different, but also beautiful.

Thin Lizzy / Little Girl In Bloom. You guys will love it.

Someone once asked me what I thought the greatest slow dance song of all time is and without hesitation I said this one.

the addrisi brothers wrote it as well as the theme to nanny and the professor

Imagine how great a song is when you're listening to it for maybe the 200th time 55+ years after it was recorded and still experience all the love and joy you felt listening to it when you were a child or teen. This song is magical and perfect.

One of my favorite songs ever!!!!!

Excellent review… you are genuine.

You should check out a group known as The Lovin Spoonful, Do You Believe In Magic! Thanks guys, Merry Christmas 🎄💕👍

BMI number 2 most played song of the CENTURY. Yes, the Wrecking Crew worked on their albums, but they played this perfectly live (call it up on the Ed Sullivan Show)

1967 was a great year in music.

Never My Love was a big hit back in the day...

Like Tommy James & the Shondells songs!!! Love❤

They had several hits, all worth reacting to.

I think they had the 2nd most top 10 hits.

I have an original label 45rpm single of Along Comes Mary

This was my wedding song, in July 2023. Who says oldies don't make a comeback? ❤😊

❤❤❤❤

I think the magic of this song lies in the questions that we’ve all had before when we were in love.

“You ask me if there'll come a time
When I grow tired of you”

“You wonder if this heart of mine
Will lose its desire for you”

“You say you fear I'll change my mind”

Whether it’s a guy asking the questions to a girl or a girl asking the questions to a guy, those feelings of vulnerability and doubt are universal to all of us.

Thank you! Finally! I used to bug you guys a lot to cover this!

If anyone hasnt heard their awesome song "Wasnt It Bit Like Now" check.. it.. out !

Great song!!!

Love, love, love the Association!!! 💞💞💞

The Association was in the perfect time for their music. There were almost as many types of music as there were radio channels in the late 60s.

Have you tried the Jersey Boys song list yet?

Killing it

Chic Rock. I think they forgot the it's were over.

My first Band Jr High we had two songs! Never My Love really fast and Never My Love really slow!😂

My Childhood definitely 😢 one of my favorite groups, "Cherish" my favorite of their's and "Along Comes Mary" and "Windy" this group always played with great intensity, they were very popular on radio and the Variety Shows, I'm so glad you liked them you owe to yourself to hear more you won't regret it 😂 Peace Gary ✌️ your 70 year old forever Young Hippie 😊

This was a really great discussion, you guys.

Our wedding song 35 years ago! 😎 (Give "Along Comes Mary" a spin!)

The 60s, the greatest❤

The legendary Wrecking Crew supplied the instrumentation on this and many other tracks recorded in L.A. at the time. Check out the documentary about this group of session musicians.

This was our first dance song at our wedding reception in 1987. 37+ years later and I haven't stopped loving her. Great reaction guys!

The association is what happens when Choir dudes make a pop band. And I am here for it! Now listen to Requiem for the Masses

I absolutely love this song n watching you'll love it too , great video as always

Saw them in 2018 and got to meet 2 original members. They still were great they were really one of those underrated 60s groups like turtles and buckinghams who eventually got more credit as they deserved..

It's the kind of song that couples say, "this is our song."

The Association: Greatest Hits came out in 1968. I was 7. That is the first album I ever played over and over again. When the wind is blowing outside, I still sing, "And Windy has stormy skies!" My kids, who've never heard any Association song, can sing right along with me! Thanks, mom, for playing these beautiful albums!

You are finally getting to one of my favorite bands.

An amazing group. They were a little wimpy for me at the time-the guy playing the flute or whatever. But I appreciate there great songs now.
