The ASSOCIATION were also notable for being the lead-off band at 1967's MONTEREY POP FESTIVAL, the first 1960's rock festival. Highly popular for their tight vocal harmonies and one of pop's all-time most romantic groups, the ASSOCIATION was one of the first bands to endorse marijuana with their first #1 hit ALONG COMES MARY (1966). The ASSOCIATION'S other #1 BILLBOARD HITS included CHERISH (1966), WINDY (1967), NEVER MY LOVE (1967), and EVERYTHING THAT TOUCHES YOU (1968).
