The Association Fans will rejoice to hear the songs they love such as “Windy”, “Cherish”, "Along Comes Mary" and many, many more. 

The Association has also received RIAA certifications for 6 gold and 3 platinum records. Their album, THE ASSOCIATION GREATEST HITS (Warner Brothers) is now double platinum and continues to be one of the longest best-selling albums in the history of the company.
