'Cherry, Cherry' is a 1966 song written, composed, and recorded by American musician Neil Diamond.
Background[edit]
- The Cherry Class stand for strong innovation and is the only cherry sorting machine in the market that really handles your product delicately. It is equipped with a gentile discharge system using specially designed silicon curtains to reduce speed and minimize impact among cherries.
- Cherry sorting machines by TOMRA Food TOMRA Food has solutions for sorting cherries. TOMRA's cherry sorting equipment detects pits, stems, rotten pieces, other discolorations, and foreign material for fresh, frozen, sweet, tart, and brine cherries.
The song was recorded in February - March 1966, and was originally intended as a demo, arranged by Artie Butler and produced by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich. It was issued as a 45 single in 1966 where Greenwich came up with the chorus and can be heard as the prominent background voice, accompanied by Jeff Barry. Diamond has stated that the song was inspired by an early relationship with a significantly older woman.[5] Session guitarist Al Gorgoni (who later played on 'The Sound of Silence' by Simon & Garfunkel and 'Brown Eyed Girl' by Van Morrison) contributed to the song.Rolling Stone would later label 'Cherry, Cherry' as 'one of the greatest three-chord songs of all time.'[6]
Reception[edit]
Billboard described the single as an 'exciting production [which] features bass piano backing and choral support of Diamond's vocal work.'[7]
Chart performance[edit]
'Cherry, Cherry' was Diamond's first big hit,[1][8] reaching #6 on both the Billboard Hot 100 chart,[8] in October 1966,[1] and the Cash Box chart.In 1973 a live recording of 'Cherry, Cherry' was issued as a 45 single from Diamond's live album Hot August Night (1972). The live version hit #24 on the Cash Box chart and #31 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[8]Billboard said that 'the live sound and the bouncing arrangement makes it almost a different song' from the original studio version.[7]
Two versions of 'Cherry, Cherry' have been released. The version familiar to most listeners was recorded in late January 1966 and released by Bang Records in mid-1966, and was recorded as a demo, with Butler on keyboards, and Barry and Greenwich on backing vocals and hand-claps.[9] The other version, with different lyrics and originally intended to be released as the single, was finally released by Diamond and Sony Music Entertainment in 1996 on the compilation album In My Lifetime.
