Talk:Cherish (The Association song)

Production
Trying to see if there are any sources on the production - particularly the stacked vocal sound. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.186.203.62 (talk) 06:26, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Connection to Kenny Rogers and The First Edition?
I'm very confused. I watched a YouTube video of Cherish by Kenny Rogers and The First Edition (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2aQHwg33Uw), and at the very beginning Rogers says, "This was a really big hit song for us back in 1965. We called ourselves The Association then, though." But this article says the song was released in 1966 and only says that Kenny Rogers and The First Edition covered it. I also checked The Association, Kenny Rogers and The First Edition, and Kenny Rogers, and they say nothing about him ever being a member of The Association, or about The First Edition formerly being called The Association. Can anyone solve this mystery? 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:3059:8016:5847:3E43 (talk) 10:39, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

I just found this book about The Association called "The Association ‘Cherish’: The Story of America’s First Folk-Rock Band" (https://books.google.com/books?id=2m9ZDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA124&lpg=PA124&dq=Kenny+Rogers+%22the+Association%22+Cherish&source=bl&ots=wH0TQo3OFv&sig=V6PWP2gdodK-8QHJ-cfHnrdX1co&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjSkrKmyNTdAhUlFjQIHSE8CmEQ6AEwCHoECGIQAQ#v=onepage&q=Kenny%20Rogers%20%22the%20Association%22%20Cherish&f=false) and on page 124 it says that Rogers joined the band in 1965 ("The Texan-born Kenny Rogers would join up shortly afterwards...") 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:3059:8016:5847:3E43 (talk) 21:36, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Correct Release Date of the David Cassidy Single
This article currently has the release date of the David Cassidy "Cherish" single as "November 1971". The article for the corresponding LP says the single was "released in October 1971".

The 45cat.com page for the single says the single appears in the October 31 Billboard magazine, presumably for the first time. The first appearance actually seems to be in the October 30, 1970 edition (page 56, Spotlight Singles). The single is marked with the note "This record is predicted to reach the TOP 40 EASY LISTENING Chart" from which one could infer that it is a very new release.

Given this, I will update the release date of this single to match the release date of the single appearing in the article for the LP (ie, October 1971). If this is incorrect, please update both this article and the LP article to maintain consistency.
