The Turtles with Happy Together Tour, Chuck Negron, and more

The Association, formed in 1965, became known for smooth harmonies and pop/rock hits like "Cherish," "Windy," and "Never My Love." Kansas-born Terry Kirkman and Jules Alexander from Tennessee led the group, which achieved chart-topping success in the late '60s. Their dynamic sound occasionally ventured into psychedelia and garage-punk. Albums like *And Then...Along Comes the Association* and singles like "Along Comes Mary" solidified their place in pop history, despite struggles with label issues and personnel changes. They played an iconic set at the Monterey Pop Festival, further showcasing their musical prowess.

Formed in Turtle Creek, PA as the Val-Aires, the Vogues hit fame with singles like "You're the One" & "Five O’Clock World." Known for a refined pop style, they scored multiple Top 40 hits & continued touring in various lineups.

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."

Born in Hibbing, MN, Gary Puckett led the Union Gap in the late '60s with melodramatic soft rock hits like "Young Girl" and "Lady Willpower." Known for Civil War-era costumes, they topped charts and played venues like the White House. After hits dwindled, Puckett pursued a solo career and joined the revival circuit, including opening for the Monkees.
