Video Valentine: Cherish (1985)

Hard to believe, but Kool & The Gang have been around for more than 50 years. Like, I only became familiar with them with the release of "Jungle Boogie" in 1973, so what do I know?

Anyway, the R & B legends built a reputation in the late 70's and 80's for soft romantic ballads that still get airplay today on adult contemporary channels. One such example is "Cherish", 1/2 of a two-sided single (with "Ladies Night") off the CD, "Emergency". While the video has a beach setting---the album was released in May of '85---the song also fits as a Valentine this time of year.
