This record was produced by my dear friend and mentor, Gary S. Paxton. The story behind this record is interesting: It was recorded in Hollywood at Gary's studio, located in his house. In fact he made the entire house into a studio - along with all the house furnishings (much like the studio he had here in Nashville). The control room was located in an upstairs bedroom, with a hole in the floor so that he cold talk back to the musicians downstairs. That control room had the only 8 channel tape recorder in Hollywood at the time, of which he rented out to Capitol records often (Beach Boys, Sinatra, ect.) That machine is currently in his basement in Branson Missouri. (I've got photos of it). The musicians were all Gary's studio band. At the time they recorded this record, there were only two guys who consisted of the Association. The rest of them were hired to sing in the group on the road. This is a video of that group. The way they recorded this record (actually the entire album, which also features "Along Comes Mary") was very unusual. The drummer was in the dining room. The guitars were in the living room, and the vocals were recorded in the kitchen (which explains the kind-of "open room" sound of the vocals). I think the bells were recorded in a separate bedroom upstairs. If you listen to the original 1-inch master tape, you'll hear Gary yelling down the hole in the floor, "Tape's rolling..."

This song could be 20 minutes long and wouldn't be long enough! I was 7 when this song came out and it embodied the great music and sound of all the amazing music of the 1960's. I think it stayed at #1 on WCFL am radio survey for like 4 weeks and deserved it.

For me this is still the best song about unrequitted love I have ever heard. It is very well sung and played, and the singers really have class. Their elegant suits show it. Not only the lyrics are great, but the motions of the singers as they sing and the gestures they make, give it a feeling of realness not found in most songs.

For me this is their best song. An excellent love song which expresses very deep feelings about a hopeless love affair. It is hard to love and not be loved in return. One feels like if one were wothless at times. It has happened to all of us who have lived enough. But fortunately most of us get over it in time.

Ricardo Alencar de Azambuja I would say there are fewer that can write music well today, but there are still those that can, that have the essence of the message they are trying to give captured, though some say anything less then classical, jazz or symphany is not good music, but most cant even play well if at all their insterment let alone be one of the people that is learned in playing abillity as well as degrees in the musical arts like professors, of sorts, that have the full mastery of theory, writting, and playing, and the genious to write about something with real meaning and not just for the money. there is noththing wrong with using all the tools but they ought not be the main crutch for lack of talent, such as auto tune, or using the computer because you dont even have the skill to match beats as a dj or know when to change the sound and song on the fly to keep a good vibe at a party, let alone play keybords or have a band going with the electronic insterments or computers.

Simply beautiful not only the melody is excellent for the lyrics, but the performance these men did is really great so full of feeling and with such depth. Every instrument is played at exactly the appropriate moment and in the right tone and every word is sung the same way. So this song is exceptional and outstanding and so good to hear 52 years after it was released.

You basically described my sentiments about this song precisely. I grew up listening to this as a child and then as i aged became a total rocker into everything hard rock and metal. And then I was pulling up to a job site in my company truck back in 1985. And this song came on the AM radio and I just sat there and practically cried myself over the words and melody and it reminded me of my innocence and childhood it really felt special to me that day.

It is so cool to see that there are other people (men) that feel the same way about this song as I do. I was born the year this song came out and for some reason I choke up nearly every time I hear it. If I’m riding in a car with other people and this song comes on, I have to change the station or turn the radio off before turning into a blubbering mess. So many emotions but as others have said, it reminds me of a much simpler and happier life when I was young.

Took a BIG tip because I was listening this song(part of a homemade BY ME big compilation of the 60's)and the 2 guys that i had in the car said that this was their parents songsofthelife, but they didn't know who was the singer!! They and their parents were searching this song for about 30 years!!! Made them(and the parents!)happy showing the name of the song! Incredible, you search for a (not so easy to hear today )song for decades, and you listen it in a public car!😂

Same here. Born in 1972, grew up with disco and 80's music but I really go for THIS kind of music, the music of my parents' youth. They played it all for me as a child, from The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys to Frank Sinatra. On my playlist you'll find these tunes, some 70's and 80's, one or two 90's. But "music" today, as they call it, is nothing but noise. And it is THIS music that I play during music period for my students. My kindergarten class actually loves this song, especially the "pum-pum" part (they LOVE to sing that part!!). I think we should introduce The Association and their generation of music to the up and coming generation. Maybe they can rectify what went wrong with the music industry in the next decade or two.

Born in 1962, so MTV and other corporate crap took over when I was in my late teens. I delved more deeply into earlier music, and found it so much more soulful and honest. Then I went further back, into Big Band music and bop. I agree, Jason--Cherish and these other styles are real music.
