The 3-minute love song "Cherish" made a mark on the pop-music-listening public and set the stage for another No. 1, "Windy," which would come a few singles later.
Park City audiences will get the opportunity to hear those songs live when The Association brings its 50th-anniversary show to the Egyptian Theatre from Feb. 11 to Feb. 14.
The band's original guitarist and singer Jim Yester said he is looking forward to his return to Utah.
"It will be great to be back in Park City," Yester said during a phone call from New Jersey. "One of the earliest times we were in Park City was with Kenny Rogers and the First Edition."
The band also recorded its' 1970 album "The Association Live" in Salt Lake City.
"We played that show at the University of Utah and it was fantastic," Yester said. "There were 10,000 people there and it was unbelievable."
