The Association made music history as the first band anywhere to open a rock festival, the now historic Monterey Pop Festival. One of the most successful bands to come out of the 1960s, they have sold millions of albums and DVDs, as well as earned a number of achievements including a Golden Globe nomination in 1970 for Best Original Song, “Goodbye Columbus.” Add to that seven GRAMMY nominations, including Best Rock & Roll Group Performance, Best Rock & Roll Recording, Best Vocal Group Performance, Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist or Instrumentalist, Best Contemporary Album, Best Contemporary Vocal Group, and Best Group Vocal Performance. With hit songs such as “Cherish,” “Windy,” “Never My Love” and “Along Comes Mary,” the band has earned six certified Gold albums and three Platinum records over the course of their decorated career. Their album, The Association Greatest Hits, is now double Platinum and continues to be one of the longest best-selling albums in the history of the company.
