Musical Interlude: Everything That Touches You (1968)

The Association had a string of hits in the late 60's that most folks can remember fairly easily. "Cherish". "Along Comes Mary". "Windy".

And, then, there's this 1968 ballad, "Everything That Touches You", which still gets some radio airplay more than 50 years later.

This clip is taken from a long forgotten NBC special, Where The Girls Are, from April 1968. Actor-singer Noel Harrison, fresh from The Girl From UNCLE, served as host, and introduces the following performance.



Where The Girls Are is not available in its entirely online at present. Wouldn't mind finding it for the simple reason of seeing Harrison doing a duet with Don Adams (Get Smart) on "Brush Up Your Shakespeare".......

  1. Great song! Great lyrics! I was 12 at the time just thinking about girls in the way the singer is singing about. In a few years I found the Irish band THIN LIZZY. I'm sure this song would have been on Phil Lynotts playlist. He liked all types of music.
