Доп. информация
Most of Kool and the Gang's biggest hits were recorded at House of Music in West Orange, NJ.
While recording songs for their Emergency album, the band decided to record in the Bahamas at
Compass Point Studios in Nassau. Bass player Robert Bell's brother and band musical director
Khalis Bayyan definitely had a knack for knowing what would be a hit for the band. Bayyan had
gotten into the then-emerging MIDI music technology and purchased a drum machine. While
working along the beach, lead singer James "J.T." Taylor watched the band members' children
happily at play and thought to himself "how blessed we are. God has been good to us and we
should cherish it." Using that as the basis for the song "Cherish," Taylor submitted it to Bell and
Bayyan, who thought it was great. Co-produced with engineer Jim Bonnefond, the gentle ballad
"Cherish" went to number one R&B and number two pop for three weeks during the fall of 1985.
The song also has special significance to Bell and Bayyan as their uncle told him that their father
was listening to the song when he passed away in October 1985.

Lyrics
Let's take a walk together near the ocean shore
Hand in hand you and I
Let's cherish every moment we have been given
The time is passing by
I often pray before I lay down by your side
If you receive your calling before I awake
Could I make it through the night
Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
The world is always changing
Nothing stays the same
But love will stand the test of time
The next life that we live in
Remains to be seen
Will you be by my side
I often pray before I lay down by your side
If you receive your calling before I awake
Could I make it through the night
Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
