This song appeared in both Sesame Street and Breaking Bad Let that sink in

I was an Uber driver and picked a man up from the veterans clinic with serious brain damage, and my knowledge of old music was so exciting to him that he was bouncing and clapping with joy as I put on old tunes that were essentially lost to him. He’d sing a bit or hum some and I recognized all of them but this song. During the ride, we stopped to pick a friend of his up, which is super unusual during an Uber ride but of course I did it for him, and the three of us tracked down this song, which was paining him to try to remember. When he tried to think about things he’d forgotten, it literally looked painful for him. When we found out which song it was he was triggered with nostalgia and exploded “WINDY! WINDY!” And clapped and clapped, red faced smiling at me. I hold this memory so dear. I actually picked him up again a year or so later and understandably, he did not remember me, but it was still sad :( But I know I made his day that day.

Rest in peace, Terry Kirkman and other Association members who have left this Earth. Thanks for all the great music and memories.

people who haven’t watched breaking bad : *oh what a nice song* people who have watched breaking bad: “how much for a windy, Wendy?”

The first song I ever called a radio station and requested. They played it! In Cleveland!

This was my husband's first favourite song in his life. He grew up and became a jet pilot. ✈

I came to know about this song from Jim Cornette's Drive Thru! What a crazy world and what a beautiful tune!!

Remembering the simpler days, and missing those we have lost since then.

I was named after this song, my dad's favorite song; I was also born on a stormy March night in 1970.. :) He passed away last August, Miss him so much. He called me Wendy, my grandmother called me Windy :)

Their harmonies are spectacular!!

Whenever you hear a song from the 60s you know It. The backup singing is such a trademark of that period of music it's undeniable. A beautiful song

This was the number one song the day I was born

The world would be so much nicer if people still wrote music like this.....

This song's always made me happy listening to it, Associations' harmonizing is right up there with Simon & Garfunkel and Beach Boys.

The harmonies are magical. Takes you to another world, above the clouds :)

My 47 year old daughter told me one of the best things I did raising her was exposing her to the best music ever! Now she's the music expert and tells me, you gotta listen to this, I start singing to her song and tell her it's an oldie!

RIP Mr. Hal Blaine. You created the soundtrack of our lives. I hope God has a high place of honor for you.

Like how could anyone possibly not like this dazzling song? i mean like everything about its irrisitably addictive. Glowing luminous with such hypnotic psychedelic radiance! and like wow look how young they are pictured above, with real class and real style and real talent, although hey lets face it, thats an awful lot of people to spread their money around with.

“How much for a Windy, Wendy?”

I'm playing this song in Las Vegas today because it is very windy outside.

How much for a windy Wendy?

This song, plus "Georgy Girl", plus "Downtown" bring back such happy childhood memories.

Damn that's a great song. Just discovered it today

This song blows me away.

WHERES MY ROOT BEER

"You ever smoke anything else, Wendy? Sausages don't count."

I was 14 in 1967, when this song came out. We'd listen to this song on our mono ( as is in, not in stereo) transistor radios, broadcasted from AM radio stations. Eons before Bass enhanced music came along. I was innocent and naive,....a 14 year old (baby,...a know nothing.) I was still playing with my slot cars, building model cars,...pretending to be a Secret Agent (in my fantasies) inspired by the TV shows "Get Smart", and"The Man From UNCLE",...& maybe "I Spy". I'm 70, now.

The 60's beautiful world of music, don't make them like they used to. Enjoy

Who's peeking out from under a stairway Calling a name that's lighter than air? Who's bending down to give me a rainbow? Everyone knows it's Windy Who's tripping down the streets of the city Smiling at everybody she sees? Who's reaching out to capture a moment? Everyone knows it's Windy And Windy has stormy eyes That flash at the sound of lies And Windy has wings to fly Above the clouds (Above the clouds) Above the clouds (Above the clouds) And Windy has stormy eyes That flash at the sound of lies And Windy has wings to fly Above the clouds (Above the clouds) Above the clouds (Above the clouds) Who's tripping down the streets of the city Smiling at everybody she sees? Who's reaching out to capture a moment? Everyone knows it's Windy Who's tripping down the streets of the city Smiling at everybody she sees? Who's reaching out to capture a moment? Everyone knows it's Windy Who's tripping down the streets of the city Smiling at everybody she sees? Who's reaching out to capture a moment? Everyone knows it's Windy Who's tripping down the streets of the city Smiling at everybody she sees? Who's reaching out to capture a moment? Everyone knows it's Windy Who's tripping down the streets of the city Smiling at everybody she sees? Who's reaching out to capture a moment? Everyone knows it's Windy

A classic that will never die, It should be on regular rotation......

I just discovered this song and can't stop listening to it!

Hello again friends, and you're our friends...

Sometimes I creep down the streets of the city but I rarely smile at everyone I see.

who still remembers Pampero Firpo?

I remember this song as a kid. I was pretty young,single digits, but the 60s had some great music. A friend of mine ,Tim, he brought it back to me, and he's passed July 31st, so I'm doing a playlist of all the songs he sent me. RIP Tim

9yr old me dancing & sooo wanting to be WINDY! 64 now & I still imagine being her as I dance! TY for reminding me...hope, hope😆

my great taste in music and childhood brought me here

On this day in 1967 {May 21st} "Windy" by the Association entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #52; five weeks later on June 25th, 1967 it would peak at #1 {for 4 weeks} and it stayed on the chart for 14 weeks... Between 1966 and 1981 the California sextet had thirteen Top 100 records; four made the Top 10 with two reaching #1, their other #1 record was "Cherish" for 3 weeks in 1966... They just missed having a third #1 record when "Never My Love" peaked at #2* {for 2 weeks} in 1967... Founding member & bassist Brian Cole passed away on August 2nd, 1972 at the age of 29... May he R.I.P. * The two weeks that "Never My Love" was at #2, the #1 record for both those weeks was "The Letter" by the Box Tops...

Memories from late 60's Love this song!

I was humming an Association song so I came here to listen to more. They were a fabulous group. I have goosebumps to prove it. It also bring tears to my eyes how things were back in the 60's compared to now when life was so easygoing it seemed. The harmony was world class. The Turtles and The Left Bank were some other favorites of mine. Thank you for sharing♥♥♥♥♥

Love this song, Brings back memories of the late 60's in Los Angeles. Being a kid was great back then!

when I was in the 3rd grade I pretended i was in a band,and we opened with this song!!

Masterpiece!!! 1960`s Rock For Ever!!!

Favorite song from '67 , I was 5 and still remember listening to it with my Dad , good memories for a young boy , no but seriously the Association could lay down some serious harmonies 🤩

In the early 2000's, when I was in fifth grade, our attractive 20-year-old teacher played this gem and a couple of other amazing songs on the outside sound system while she held class in the schoolyard in the morning. She related that she had been turned onto them by her grandmother years earlier. We sat in the bright blazing sunshine with a gorgeous, cool breeze blowing. I probably remember "Windy" with the most passion because there was always a heavenly wind when she played it. Our beautiful teacher taught us about life, not just the mandated curriculum. Her enthusiasm seemed to be intensely fueled by the aforementioned epic songs, including "Beautiful Morning" by the Rascals. Suddenly, school was not so bad after all and I wanted to live forever. Hands down, those are my fondest childhood memories.

One of the most underrated hit machines of the 60s. God I love this song. Also it was Number One. On the American charts the week I was born in September 1967.

A SUMMER SONG TO REMEMBER!! THEY WERE AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME AT THISTIME!!!

The very first time I spoke on a microphone in front of an audience was in third grade at the school assembly and I introduced my classroom singing this song. 😊

people complain that people of this generation don't know good music yet when they are informed of good songs regardless of where it comes from they get mad. not every one is born in the past how else are we suppose to know about these songs

Every time I hear this song I think of my dad, he whistles it ALL the time. He drive us nuts whistling it for hours. Now I love to visit hum it and walk away, my mom could kill me.

I remember that song so well. A real favorite that summer, 1967, aged 11. Also Doors " Light my fire!"

Thank you Tony Blackburn, great song.

What a great song! I grew up listening to '60's pop, and the music is every bit as good today as it was fifty-something years ago. It also gave me the inspiration for my novel, Ether. Thank you, The Association, for all the great songs!

Our family was returning to the US after my father's 2-year US Navy assignment in Taiwan, and this song was #1 in July 1967. I first heard it on the USS Roosevelt as we sailed back and I thought it was so beautiful. I was 16 then, and have always remembered that transpacific trip whenever I hear this song.

I will forever love this song❤, sounds so happy. I was 11 when it came out. Rest in peace Terry Kirkman

Thank you to Matt who brought this to my attention today with his rendition of "Everyone knows it's Corny". It was great, and this is great.

Mad Greek 60s 70s great music like this.this mellow and relaxing music my God the memories.

The harmonies are so good, like, Brian Wilson good. The song's main melody is what does it for me. "Who's trippin' down the streets of the city?" It's so catchy!

My daughter is called Windy after this song

I know this because of my mother. She introduced me to great music since I was a young child. Now, I listen to them to remind me of good times and her!!! I love you mother. Continue to rest well.

In primary school we had a sing lesson that was on the radio and played through the pa speaker in each classroom being a young kid i thought the songs were written just for us to sing along too...I was amazed when I heard Scarborough fair by Simon and Garfunkel then this and many more....good days and good times

I remember being 3 years old in the summer of 1967 and hearing this on the radio of my 25 year-old mother's maroon 1966 Buick Riviera GS when we'd drive from Queens, NY to visit my aunt in Poughkeepsie, NY. I remember the car had bucket seats; I'd crawl across the shifter console to switch the stations on the AM/FM radio and find music I liked. This song stands out in my mind, now that I found it. My mom wasn't an Association fan back then, but I was. Kid-friendy music.

i9 never get tired of this song

I remember this song! I was 6 years old. Now I'm 58, yikes🙃 I thought of it today because my sister looked out the window and said "it's windy today ". So in my odd Rollodex brain, I instantly thought of this song, flashback. 🤓🌬

I remember when this song hit the airwaves. I was working down at Ocean City NJ the summer after my graduation from high school. It is hard to think that this song is almost 50 years old now.

My favorite song as a young child 1972. My mom used to listen to this and dance with me. I still love it today in 2020.

This song is when music was music. Sent it to my daughter cuz shes wendy. And spirited full of life.

Born in the 1970s, grew up listening to great music like this!

I recently got my 10 yr old grandson listening to this music. Like anyone with good taste..... He wears his phone out listening to it !

Great song, I remember listening it it as a kid. Good memories

The first time I heard it was sesame Street when I was a child in the 70s

who's here because this was one of Michael Jackson's favorite songs? Love Michael forever

My dogs name was Wendy. She was cute and happy and loved to cuddle right up next to you and though she was stubborn she was the best dog that my family and I could have asked for. she has been with me for as long as I can remember. but we always used to sing this to her and she always knew it as her song and she smiled. You might think it impossible for a dog to smile but you could see it clear on her face whenever she was happy. I love my dog. she fell asleep last night and never woke up this morning. I love you Wendy I always will.

anyone else here because of their great taste in music?

I wish we had a radio station in Baltimore, MD, that played old music! We have nothing old to listen to here anymore. Probably never will with the way the radio industry has changed. I am 70, but love music all the way back to the 20's! Songs like this one brings flashbacks of sweet summers at the beach with friends. We need more of this now. Wish we could, turn back the hands of time (another good song!)

I was in 3rd grade when my teenage neighbors would play this. That, my friends, makes me OLD! Lol Glad I grew up in the ’70s...

LOVE THIS SONG!

I love The Association! My dad was a record producer in the late 60s, early 70s, and was the first to record "Never My Love" with the Japanese group, The Johnnys in 1967. Larry Ramos, you are remarkable on "Windy." God bless you and your dear soul, in Jesus, we praise. Amen! MA

This group reminds me of sitting at the table eating breakfast with my father before he went to work, it brings back many memories as I'm now 68 and my father has been long gone.. But listening brings back a cherished times with him a this was my ringtone when I was 12💖🙏

Thank You for the better music we grew up listening to

This song reminds me of my first trip to New York City when I was only 6 years old. I know that sounds silly, but it brings back a lot of wonderful memories of that magical time that I experienced in such an awesome city. Hahahaha. ❤️

The Association never had any big hits in UK yet they got a lot radio airplay. I always liked their songs.

This was one of my mom’s favorite songs as a teen, so you know I swiped her 45 when I was a teen because she no longer had a turntable and I did, right? 😂 I remember, I was about 17… The Association played at a local festival we have here every summer and my friend’s mom had tickets. My friend didn’t want to go and was moaning and groaning about being stuck having to go see this old group her mom liked and she didn’t want to go. I asked which group. When she said The Association, I freaked! I asked if her mom had an extra ticket, which she did, and she happily let me tag along. My friend was so embarrassed when I was with her mom, dancing and singing along, especially to “Windy”… We both went nuts when they did that song! Wow, that was a long time ago, I just turned 50, but I reminder that night so clearly… It was amazing! ❤ Btw, this song was written by a fan for The Association 😊 If you look on the album, she actually is given credit. I can’t recall her name off the top of my head, but her first name is Ruth 😊

2024, it still gets me every time, beautiful song

Nice vocal arrangements, especially towards the end.

Hey, as long as it helps people discover quality music, I don't care what tv show, movie, or video game people first heard it. I just knew it as one of my parent's favorites.

i am 34 as i type this, born to two baby boomers. my father was born in 1953 and my mother a year later. thank you, you two for introducing me to what YOU grew up on. it is so much better than anything that came out when i was the same age as you two when this song came out.

This is one of Michael Jacksons favourite songs he ever heard. RIP Michael. King of Pop

I had this record; Great Pop music! Geez, in those days they actually wrote/sang/played and knew music like real musicians! Thankful to be from those times.

I used to listen to this song as a child, still love it!!

Born 1984 here. I wholeheartedly agree with everyone here who says music was better in the 60s and 70s. You guys are lucky to have experienced it.

Oh my gosh, as a kid back then I knew every word to this song. I'm 65 now and i still love this song. ❤👍👩‍🦳

Que coros, que rola, que manera de interpretar, magnífica Windy♥️🤗🇲🇽♿ Arnol

One of my favorite songs from the 1960s! I never get tired of listening to this song!!

I remember the first time I heard this on the radio was Apx 1968ish, and I was with my mom when she would take my older sisters to school, I was not in Kindergarten yet. Somethings you never forget!

This song has a special place in my heart. I’ve always loved it. I named one of my Sweet Guinea Pigs, Windy after it. February 27th, 2018 she came into my life with a smile. The song got her so well! Her whole life, she loved when I’d sing it to her. Her little anthem! Windy passed away in October 2021. She now has her wings to fly above the clouds. Love you, Windy ❤️

Had not thought of this song in ages. Was explaining/introducing it to a 25-year old music teacher, and yes, there is so much for them to learn...

Written and originally recorded by an under-rated NYC folk singer Ruthann Friedman who was signed to Warner Brothers / Reprise at the time. One of her best albums was "Constant Companion." Ruthann has been brought out of retirement recently to record and perform again by many of her fans. If you read her bio this gal hung out with some heavy duty musicians back in the 1960's.

Its been windy as hell for two days, a tree fell like ten feet from my bedroom window. I was just singing this to myself today and oddly enough it just showed up on my suggested list

I grew up listening to this kind of music in the car because my mom would play sixties songs all the time. I’m 17 and enjoy it
