Music Banter - The Rest in Peace Thread (RIP)

Singer-songwriter Terry Kirkman, a founding member of the 1960s folk-rock band the Association, has died. He was 83.

Kirkman’s death was confirmed on Sunday through a statement on the Association’s official Facebook page: “We’re saddened to report that Terry Kirkman passed away last night, RIP Terry. He will live on in our hearts and in the music he so brilliantly wrote.”

Kirkman was born on Dec. 12, 1939, in Salina, Kan. In 1965, he formed the Association in L.A. alongside Jules Gary Alexander, Russ Giguere, Ted Bluechel Jr., Brian Cole and Bob Page, who was quickly replaced by Jim Yester. The group consisted of a large ensemble of vocalists and instrumentalists known for their intricate vocal harmonies.

My favorite song of his:

Terry Kirkman, the Association Singer and Founding Member, Dies at 83

The Association were very popular back in the 60's when I was a kid. They probably got as much radio airplay at the time as big-name bands like The Beatles and The Stones. I can't say that I got into them as much as some of the other acts of that time but they had lots of memorable pop songs that stuck in my mind at the time and have stayed with me through the years.

R.I.P.
