ABOUT THE RECORD Cherish, by Kool and the Gang, was the third single released from the band's album, Emergency. It was certified Gold by the RIAA and held the No. 1 position on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart for six weeks running. It would ultimately rank as the biggest Adult Contemporary chart hit of the 1980s. The song is a romantic ballad that proved to be extremely popular when it was released and has since been a wedding song staple of sorts. Fresh was released as a single in 1984 from the album Emergency, and peaked at No. 11 on the UK chart, No. 9 on the U.S. Hot 100 charts, and was No. 1 on both the U.S. R&B and dance charts. The song introduced a new meaning to the word "fresh", meaning "good". Celebration is a song released in 1980 by Kool & the Gang from their album Celebrate!. It was the band's first single to reach No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and held that position for two weeks before being ousted by Dolly Parton's 9 to 5. It remains the band's only No. 1 hit. By late 1980, the song had also reached No. 1 on both the Billboard Dance and R&B charts. The song was featured heavily on the radio throughout the year and is still heard today at weddings and parties, and is a popular anthem for sporting events. It was commonly played by radio stations in honor of the release of American hostages from captivity in Iran. It was also an international hit, reaching No. 7 in the United Kingdom on November 29, 1980, spending 13 weeks in the chart.
