The first recording of "Never My Love" to achieve success was by The Association, an American sunshine pop band from California. Their version of the song, recorded with members of The Wrecking Crew, including Hal Blaine on drums, Joe Osborn on bass, Larry Knechtel on keyboards, and Al Casey and Mike Deasy on guitar, also including producer Bones Howe on tambourine, peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, kept out of the number one spot by "The Letter" by The Box Tops, and hit number one on the Cashbox charts in October 1967, one of the band's five top-ten hits in the late 1960s. Their third number 1 on the Cashbox Top 100 Singles Chart, following "Cherish" (1966) and "Windy" (1967), it was featured on the band's album Insight Out (1967). The song also reached number one in Canada's RPM charts.
By the time The Association's record was certified Gold by the RIAA for one million copies sold as of December 1967, Billboard noted that 16 artists had recorded the song. |
