"Cherry Pink (and Apple Blossom White)" is a popular song with music by Louiguy. French lyrics to the song by Jacques Larue and English lyrics by Mack David both exist and recordings of both have been quite popular. However, Perez Prado's recording of the song as an instrumental with his orchestra was the most popular version in 1955, reaching #1 on the Billboard charts.
The most popular vocal version was by Alan Dale, reaching #14 on the charts in 1955.
The song was featured in the movie Underwater! starring Jane Russell.
In 1961, Jerry Murad and the Harmonicats released an album featuring the song, also entitled Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White.
