Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
  This song, "Along Comes Mary", and "Cherish", were probably closer to
  what THE ASSOCIATION was really about than any other recordings.  The
  release of this song was accompanied by one of the first American Pop
  Videos, although at that time done on 16mm film.
