Long before Grease, the word was "Cherish," one of The Association's (1965-1973) string of hit pop songs built around infectious melodies and beautiful multipart harmonies. According to Larry Ramos, one of the two remaining early members of the band, many couples tell him that "Cherish" was their wedding song--which he finds a bit peculiar, since the lyrics are clearly about unrequited love. In this entry from the Pop Legends Live! series, Ramos is joined by founding member Russ Grigore and a quartet of backup players for a 2004 12-song set at the Stamford Center for the Arts in Connecticut that includes "Cherish," "Windy," "Never My Love" (the second most played radio song), "Along Comes Mary," "Six Man Band," and "Enter the Young," among others. Presented in Dolby Digital stereo, the sound is not the highest of fi on this extra-less disc, but this will still be one enjoyable stroll down memory lane for a large number of Baby Boomers. Recommended. Aud: P. (R. Pitman)
