Cherish was the debut album from the pop singer David Cassidy who found fame in his native USA as one of the stars of the TV programme The Partridge Family, and under whose group name he sung on several releases. During the next couple of years he would become a heartthrob for teenage girls, particularly in Britain. Features the US No.9 title track single and UK No.2 Could It Be Forever. (US:15 UK:2)
“David Cassidy's debut album was only three shades away from the Partridge sound but was nonetheless more sophisticated. Pop pundits who dismiss this recording as bubblegum are ignoring the calibre of material, musicians, song writers and even David's own wonderful voice.” “This is actually a very good album as some fine song writers contributed great tunes and he really did have a nice voice.”
“By the time this album was released, David's career soared throughout the world. Selling bigger venues and making all the young girls cry. Although this David solo effort had a more mature overtone than the PF recordings, nevertheless, it symbolizes pop music of it's time.”
“If only David had peaked in the heyday of video, his gorgeous looks married with that breathy, overtly sensual voice would have catapulted him even further into mass hysteria. David can sing with the best of them. This album has a mood; a sensual, sad set of ballads paired with just a few jazzier numbers.”
“His first foray into a solo career sounds very similar to his Partridge releases. The tunes here are beautifully produced and executed and showcase Cassidy's breathy vocals successfully.”
"Could It Be Forever has a romantic flavour that works wonders for the ballad; and David never lets go of a single superfluous note. Of course, we know it really wasn't all that easy; David's talent carries him through.”
The standout ballads are what deliver this album such as Could It Be Forever and the hauntingly depressing My First Night Alone Without You, which is a great song beautifully rendered here in Cassidy's undeniable earnest vocal.”
