Yes, they are obviously lip syncing, but you can search on YouTube and fine other versions of them raw and live and see that they really could play this. They aren't as perfect and polished as a studio recording, but they still demonstrate that they really can play this.
@utterlyviolet, I love this song! It's so awesome your parents danced to it. I have no idea if mine even had "a song". ;) love it love it love it! Thx for posting!!
Profile:Jules Alexander (born September 25th, 1943, Chattanooga, Tennessee), an original member of the group The Association (vocals, lead guitar), used his middle name Gary on the group's first 2 albums.
In 1967 Jules Alexander left the group to study meditation in India, returning to the group he had helped found in early 1969. He continued recording & touring with the group until leaving the group in early 1989.
The Asian guy looks like he came into the group in 1967. This is 1966 and the short guy to our far left seems to be the one who was replaced. But if you look at his guitar work he is doing it proper just like the record where the Asian guysin other videos is good but not perfect like this guy, so who is this guy who is apparently the original member who had the guitar chops and the pretty background vocals. His contribution to cherish was flawless and a beautiful part! So who is he where is now?
These songs remind me of being a little kid in a big family with older siblings.
There was so much violence at the time, yet our society was filled with people who were basically much more gentle and peaceful at the time.
Being a kid at that time was an experience I can never give my own children. I try to give them a sense of that gentle world through my own behavior. It's all I can offer.
I'm beginning to think, That Man has never found the words that could make you want me. That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound, that could make you hear, make you see, that you are driving me out of my mind.
@midlocal Jordan amps, at 1:16 with image enhancement. A common amp back then, solid state, reliable, sounded okay without distortion. Abandoned when everyone turned everything up, as they sound bad and fry.
I saw these guys live back in 1970. Believe me they could sound exactly like the record. Harmonies and all ..they really were an excellent band in person. They even performed a very difficult acapella piece.
@spunkyboy1 Lol, the fact is that a single mic is picking up 6 separate voices at equal volumes (especially the harmonies at 2:31 from the guitarists) but not the drum set that is closer and louder to the mic than most of the band. This "miracle" of sound engineering is impossible. Also, you can clearly hear the bell chimes that were in the studio recording. They were lipsyncing, which was common practice back then. Labels wanted to portray this sense of perfection with their bands. A la TOTP.
im feeling soooooo DREAMY RIGHT NOW,, OOOOOOO iv been lovin this joint since birth,, beautiful classic indeed,, realllllll music every day alllllllllday.....*)
This was "our song" with my first husband and father of my son. However, Cherish didn't happen in the marriage, only indifference. I left. And I still cherish him.
@adjforreal some WHAT?! Well, whatever it is, I'd like to give it to him. I love that word: "dreamy"... lol. Ringo wasn't the cutest, but he was the sexiest. It's that drummer thing again. Must be all that banging. lol
@newjackdoug I just got goose bumps! I was reading all of these posts to find out who this original guitarist was. He had his playing perfect with the record whether lipsiyned or not, he knew his part and his harmony part on the bum bum's was beautiful. the Asin did ok replacing him but not quite as good as Gary. Thank you so much for answering that question for me. Do you know where he is now or what else he did, very talented, maybe the best in the band!
Wow - this takes me back in time. I was 10 years old, my parents were healthy and working and full of life, my brothers and sisters 4,5, and 6 years old. What a fun time! Lots of great memories! Thanks for posting!
@BassFever74 If you're referring to the Hawaiian Philipino guitarist named Ramos, I think, he joined the group soon afterward. He was in the group in 1967, when they made Windy and Never my Love.
@imoldyoung How did you pick those two? Must've been difficult because ALL of the Association's love songs are the greatest love songs of all time :) I met Jim Yester in 1995. (He was in the New Four Preps). He is one of the nicest people I had the pleasure of meeting. We talked about the hits and he shared interesting trivia with us. Later, while talking with some more fans, one of them asked him about his records. He laughed, pointed to me and said "Go ask him!"
@littlemikey1954 Actually, they never recorded a song I did`nt like, I just remember listening to that music growing up back then and how much more meaning they have now...
@matchlessmc I saw the Beatles twice at Maple Leaf Gardens. Beachboys in the old stadium where the Argos used to play. AND Mamas and Papas at the Gardens. Sucks but sweet to be old.
A Jamieson Smile: Hey, Larry was not part of the group at that time.
A Jamieson Note: The Drummer not only conducts
but uses the "aerobic 1-3-4 timing".
Hmmm,

@newjackdoug I just got goose bumps! I was reading all of these posts to find out who this original guitarist was. He had his playing perfect with the record whether lipsiyned or not, he knew his part and his harmony part on the bum bum's was beautiful. the Asin did ok replacing him but not quite as good as Gary. Thank you so much for answering that question for me. Do you know where he is now or what else he did, very talented, maybe the best in the band!

Wow - this takes me back in time. I was 10 years old, my parents were healthy and working and full of life, my brothers and sisters 4,5, and 6 years old. What a fun time! Lots of great memories! Thanks for posting!

Do you have to have that timer flicking away the whole time? Very distracting.

This was the processional (instrumental, of course) which was played as my bride walked up the aisle on her father's arm in 1973.
Ah, memories...

@BassFever74 If you're referring to the Hawaiian Philipino guitarist named Ramos, I think, he joined the group soon afterward. He was in the group in 1967, when they made Windy and Never my Love.

@imoldyoung How did you pick those two? Must've been difficult because ALL of the Association's love songs are the greatest love songs of all time :) I met Jim Yester in 1995. (He was in the New Four Preps). He is one of the nicest people I had the pleasure of meeting. We talked about the hits and he shared interesting trivia with us. Later, while talking with some more fans, one of them asked him about his records. He laughed, pointed to me and said "Go ask him!"

This is the lineup I saw live at Maple Leaf Gardens 1966. If I remember correctly they were one of the opening Acts for the Lovin' Spoonful.
Great Show! They were a lot better than I expected.
The album was "and then along comes The Association."

@matchlessmc I saw the Beatles twice at Maple Leaf Gardens. Beachboys in the old stadium where the Argos used to play. AND Mamas and Papas at the Gardens. Sucks but sweet to be old.

Entertainers used to "dress up" as a way of showing respect and gratitude to their audiences. Most of the really talented ones still do.

Kirkman was such a wonderful songwriter!
Although other members contributed songs, it was always Terry's that rose above the rest, with their sensitive lyrics and exquisite melodies.
