Cherish may refer to:
Cherish is an American R&B, soul, and hip hop quartet consisting of the sisters Farrah King (born (1984-02-17) February 17, 1984, Neosha King (born (1986-01-26) January 26, 1986 and twins Felisha and Fallon King (born (1988-06-05) June 5, 1988. Originally from Maywood, Illinois, the four sisters moved to Atlanta, Georgia to begin their musical career. Both their parents are musicians, their father having been in the band Professions of Sounds, who frequently toured across the South West with classic acts like The Emotions and Earth, Wind & Fire. The group is signed to Capitol Records and Sho'nuff Records. They were a big success with the hit song "Do It to It".
The group first rose to fame in 2003, when they were featured on the single "In Love wit Chu", by Da Brat. They quickly followed up with their official debut single, "Miss P.", which had minor success on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart in the US. After the failure of the single, their initial debut album was cancelled. However, they continued recording music, and lent their vocals to the soundtrack for The Powerpuff Girls Movie. In 2006, they released their second official single, "Do It to It". The single was met with critical and commercial success, and was followed up with their debut album, Unappreciated, which reached number 4 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the US. 2008 saw the release of the group's second studio album, The Truth. The album didn't fare as well as their previous, failing to reach the top 20 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. It was, however, preceded by the release of their second Top 40 hit, "Killa", which peaked at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100.
"Cherish" is a pop 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. Billboard ranked the record as the No. 2 song of 1966. In Canada, the song also reached number one.
The single release of the song was slightly edited by removing one of the two "And I do cherish you" lines near the end of the song. This edit was done as a means of keeping the track from exceeding the three-minute mark, as radio programmers of the era frowned upon songs that went beyond three minutes. However, even with the edit, the song still ran over. Instead of editing further, producer Curt Boettcher intentionally listed "3:00" on the label as the song's running time.
Session musician Doug Rhodes, also member of The Music Machine, played the Celesta on the recording. Studio player Ben Benay played guitar on the recording. Curt Boettcher added some vocals, most notably the high-pitched "told you" and "hold you" on the final verse. The track was recorded at a converted garage studio owned by Gary S. Paxton, who engineered the sessions along with Pete Romano.
[Verse 1:]
I jumped out the bed
Flat iron my hair
But in my true religon
I'm so far from peigon
And I hit the closet
Throw on my juicy coach
Just grab my shirt and my bra
And head staight to the shade draw
Bottega Veneta, Valentino, Gucci, Cardea, Marc Jacobs, Prada
Dependin on how I feel today
Please belive I'm always chalked out
Stay up on my shade game
Yes sir
Flossed out
[Bridge:]
Strut out the house (framed out)
Hop in the truck (framed out)
I hit the club (framed out)

[Verse 2:]
Skj
My Louis Vuiton bag
Before I leave the store yo girl be poppin tags
And I gotta keep this pretty face that sits up in some cold shades
And my cold shades look like a churned vanilla milkshake
The rock look (I got em)
The cop look (I got em)
Throw them shades up in my hair
Then I grab another pair
Yours look fly but they ain't like these
Cus I don't keep nothing but designers on me
[Bridge:]
Strut out the house (framed out)
Hop in the truck (framed out)
