The Cowsills and The Association

The Association, formed in 1965, blended pop sounds with touches of psychedelia. Known for hits like "Along Comes Mary," "Cherish," and "Windy," they gained fame with smooth harmonies and polished performances, often collaborating with top producers and musicians.

The Cowsills, a family band from Newport, Rhode Island, inspired The Partridge Family TV series. Known for their angelic harmonies and pop hits like "The Rain, the Park and Other Things" and "Hair," they were a top act in the late '60s. The group, consisting of siblings and their mother, had a clean-cut image with strong songwriting and production skills. They reunited in the '90s, suffered family tragedies, but made a comeback in 2022 with the album "Rhythm of the World." The group also featured in the documentary "Family Band: The Cowsills Story."
