Billboard ranked the record as the No. 2 song of 1966. In Canada, the song also reached number one. 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.{{citation needed|date=November 2012}} The track was recorded at a converted garage studio owned by Gary S. Paxton, who engineered the sessions along with Pete Romano. 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. In 2012, original Association member Jim Yester said the record label claimed the song sounded "too old and archaic", but quipped that the song's success "just showed we can have archaic and eat it, too."[3] David Cassidy version{{Infobox song| name = Cherish | cover = | alt = | type = single | artist = David Cassidy | album = Cherish | B-side = All I Wanna Do Is Touch You | released = November 1971 | format = 7" single | recorded = | studio = | venue = | genre = Pop | length = 3:46 (album) | label = Bell | writer = Terry Kirkman | producer = Wes Farrell | prev_title = | prev_year = | next_title = Could It Be Forever | next_year = 1971 }}David Cassidy recorded his own version on his 1972 album Cherish.
