American Harmony: The Lettermen & The Association

The dictionary defines harmony as “a combination of musical sounds considered to be pleasing.” The music world could define harmony as “The Lettermen.” For more than 60 years, The Lettermen – Donovan Tea, Bobby Poynton, and Rob Gulack – have kept the meaning of harmony alive with their soft, romantic blend of music. The Lettermen have over 75 albums and a myriad of hits including “The Way You Look Tonight,” “When I Fall in Love,” “Theme From A Summer Place,” “Goin’ Out of My Head/Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You,” “Put Your Head on My Shoulder,” “Hurt So Bad,” and “Shangri-La.”
One of the most successful groups in the wave of ‘60s sunshine pop, The Association have sold millions of records, tapes, CDs, and DVDs as well as earned a number of achievements including seven Grammy nominations and a Golden Globe nomination in 1970 for Best Original Song – “Goodbye Columbus.” The group’s smooth harmonies and pop-oriented sound made them regular occupants of the highest reaches of the pop charts for several years. Their biggest hits include “Windy,” “Never My Love,” “Time for Livin’,” “Everything That Touches You,” “Along Comes Mary,” and “Cherish.”
