"Renaissance" was the first album by The Association, and it came out on 1966. To my knowledge this album didn't have any hits on it. That wouldn't happen until their second and third albums when they came up with "Along Comes Mary," "Cherish," "Never My Love," and "Windy."
What's so odd about this album is that it's full of schmaltzy pop songs, but buried right in the middle of them all is this really good and very interesting psychedelic song with a crazy title.
The Association -- a way too underrated band all because they were too clean-cut and recorded classic Sunshine Pop (they might have been the first to be labeled "Sunshine Pop") during an era when being heavy had more hip credibility.
