Cherish is a pop music song written by Terry Kirkman and recorded by The Association. Released in 1966, the song reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in September of that year and remained in the top position for three weeks. In Canada the song also reached number one. Nina Simone recorded her version on 1967's Silk and Soul. Session musician Doug Rhodes, also member of The Music Machine, played the Celesta on the recording. David Cassidy recorded his own version on his 1972 album Cherish; his version of the song reached #9 on the Hot 100 chart and spent one week at #1 on the adult contemporary chart (#3 in Canada). Barry Manilow covered this song, along with Windy, on Manilow's 2006 album, The Greatest Songs of the Sixties. Other covers have been performed by artists such as The Four Tops and Jodeci, but the original Association version of the song appears at the end of The Simpsons Season 20 Episode 6, entitled "Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words", and The Nanny Season 5 Episode 15, entitled "The Engagement".
