very nice

[feedittothewolves]

Amazing. Not that my age matters but I am 17 and i've been listening to them for as long as i can remember. Absolutely amazing.

In 1970 this ballroom burned down. It was the starting place of Lawrence Welk from 1951 to 1955. I love this song and remember it well from the 1960's...love Herb and TJB! Those ladies are Dolls at .030.

[brianjoyful]

Oh wait... do they still play muzak in elevators? I take the stairs.

[robertabramson]

@brianjoyful you have to take into account the music of that era.... Beatles, Rolling Stones even motown was big on the charts and then along comes Herb Alpert with his style of music. Listen to TV commercials from '67-'68, so many companies latched on to his sound. It really was amazing.

[EmpressOfWyoming58]

@robertabramson They played Herb Alpert right along with The Beatles, The Stones and even Glen Campbell. It was called Top 40 Radio and you got to hear the best of all music.

[brianjoyful]

@robertabramson Ok, maybe I'm too young (early forties) to appreciate it. In all seriousness, when I hear this music, it reminds me of watching TV game shows in the mid-1970's at my Grandma's house. In addition, you have to take into account the fact that I was hammered (as I am now) when I made my initial comment.

[robertabramson]

@brianjoyful Totally understand!! LOL You are right, so many commercial type industries picked up on this music back then that I think it really got watered down. Not something I am going to listen to on a regular basis but it is in my itunes library so I can listen to it and have great memories of my dad, and life in general from those early '70's.

[robertabramson]

I can still picture my dad, the quinisential late 60's early 70's middle age guy, tiperello in his mouth, long sideburns, listening to Herb Alpert. This sound reminds me of my dad more than anything.......

[ab19901]

This is from a different era when the music was classy, the performers were classy, and (even) the audience was classy. This was "smooth jazz" before anyone coined the term.

I've never seen anyone play a trumpet as effortlessly as Herb Alpert. It's as though all he had to do was think about the notes and they simply came out the end of his horn.

[radioheadkids2]

lovely and so smooth..

[brianjoyful]

@radioheadkids2 -- so, so smooth.... like a nice bowel movement.

[radioheadkids2]

@brianjoyful LOL

[robertabramson]

@brianjoyful Radiohead. What an idiot.

[brianjoyful]

@robertabramson I need to get hammered and listen to Herb Alpert more often. This stuff is trippy... as far as elevator music goes.

[gwennwittig]

God I forgot how classy and sexy this was, even when I realized it when I was 6 LOL!

[billace90]

If that was a live presentation, it sounded just like the record. Amazing! What a band. It brings memories of much better times......

[oumydiaw]

i am afraid you are right :-(

[oumydiaw]

beauuutiful!!!!

[MsJune54]

my brother used to play Tijuana Brass records when I was a kid. It wasn't until much later that I got hooked on this beautiful music. Herb Alpert was very handsome and a great musician!!

[theatomicmom]

@MCWEDS you are so right about the presentation of the people in the video. I aspire to be so classy.

[quigleybrown]

It looked like it was a re-creation of a WWII USO big band show.

[MCWEDS]

Oh those two women's faces at 0:03. An era of style, class, and culture that I'm afraid is behind us forever. People cared about how they presented themselves back then and the world was a more beautiful place for it.

[oumydiaw]

@MCWEDS

nothing is stopping us to be as beautiful as these people...

let's do a party with the compilations of Herb and other from the same style!! NYC?!!!!

i will do it if people want to join!!!! anyone?!!!

[wannawatchu66]

@oumydiaw What I think MCWEDS means is that nowadays a lot of people CAN'T BE BOTHERED to make themselves presentable. You got guys that wear their pants halfway down their butts, exposing their "underwear" (I put it in quotes because half of it isn't UNDER anything), and I see more and more women wearing pajama pants in public. We have a younger generation of slobs who don't take any pride in their appearance. Our world is getting shoddier and shoddier by the year.

[brianjoyful]

@MCWEDS -- Yeah, those two chicks are about to GET IT ON!!!!!

[EmpressOfWyoming58]

@MCWEDS I was a little girl then. We loved mod fashions and music. Our parents listened to this kind of music and they looked like those two women. We looked forward to growing up and being like them. Movies were made so that adults understood the sexy enuendos and kids thought them simply romantic. You could watch the same movie as your parents and understand it in your own way, innocently. Classy, majestic and dignified and hip all at the same time. I'd give anything to relive those times.

[MyRickyz]

I love so much the classic Alpert' whipped cream album and frankly i didn't like the modern remix version released a couple years ago. i've got lucky not only to see Herb in a concert in New York state in 1989 but i saw him his rehearsals hours before the show and i didn't get an autograph by him and Lani cause a rude bodyguard man.

[jazzzytina]

One of my very favorites, thank you so much for posting this.

[jeb337]

No Wedding dress, naked and she is a model who was pregnant at the time...true

[taboacho314]

This song tries me to remember my teen years, and a 175% beautiful blonde fem. teenager called Nelida. Appart, Mr. Alpert's equipment on video is a Benge (Chicago era) Bb trumpet.

[Spiritree41]

Theres a sexy spanish woman on the album cover in a wedding dress covered with whip cream : )

[Spiritree41]

OMG!!!! I just found this old album in a thift store for 99 cents : ) Beautiful music....

[califgirl101]

Such an incredible video! Say, what is that catchy little tune toward the end of this video just as Tangerine began to fade away to the empty ballroom? Thanks again my friend! :)

[ChristianeF]

The song at the end is Sentimental Over You

[perthboy100]

thanks for this thegoochman

[schulzmark3]

Great sound!!

[rissisdad]

I started a TJB copy group in high school in Arizona in 1965. We called ourselves "The Gringos". I don't think there was a better time in my whole life....

[califgirl101]

Wow! What a wonderfull video this is. It is amazing to the truth that this lovely tune is played exactly the right rythum as on the Whipped Cream And Other Delights album. I'm in such awe of this video since I have never seen Herb Alpert play so beautifully. Could somebody please post the song/video of More More Amor also by Herb Alpert? Thank you again for this lovely video. :)

[kimmickal]

I have this song on my My Space page.

[vinto34]

looks a bit like jethro off beverly hillbillys here lol

[Ronnie7311]

I love this stuff.

[gaspo218]

With today's CD quality these tunes sound so much better than ever. We're lucky.

[fromthesidelines]

The song was taken directly from the 1965 "Whipped Cream and Other Delights" album (I played it too often to know this was the SAME track, right down to Herb's "scat singing" in the middle).

[guitarman63mm]

I was thinking the same thing, it's just too close. Very good miming on the part of the band though!

[fromthesidelines]

The special originally aired on CBS on April 24, 1967....

[jacfred]

@fromthesidelines I remember the show well... did they film I'm Getting Sentimental Over You and Tangerine at the Aragon in Chicago?

[nauort23]

The sad truth, asmilesa, is that back then people listened to musicians, not actors. Perhaps the fact that he might not have been good at pretending had something to do with how perfectly he could perform live. Wish I could say the same about the over-produced, edited, re-mixed, tweaked pretenders that are topping the charts today.

[xviisecolo]

You are so elegant. I am sure if the PC crowd was here, they'd turn red. Kudos for you!

[nauort23]

Thanks, xviisecolo. I'm used to getting abused on YouTube for my opinions. But after checking you out (E.A.Poe, Brahms, Jazz, Swing, and even Marilyn Manson!), I couldn't be more flattered by your comment. "Like minds...," as they say.

[xviisecolo]

I look forward to hearing more of your insightful comments. Ignor the idiots and do what you want.

[xenorockstar]

I couldn't agree more with both of you...its a sad world we live in where musicians like Herb are not in high regard. His music was always so ambient and settled in on you to where you felt like you were the only one he played it for.

[xviisecolo]

Herb is an icon of music. He is special. He made the listener even more special.

[JORGEEUGENIODESETA]

It is a very, very nice video. Bellísimo !!!

H.Alpert belongs to a "gold era"

Jorge De Seta

[kimmickal]

Love this Herb Alpert song!
