Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass Greatest Medly Video 1969

[40colby]

Look at the smiles on the peoples faces at the 4 minute mark. What a contrast to the music scene today.

[62LJG]

I watch this video every couple of weeks. I never get tired of hearing these songs. I loved Herb Alpert and his music years ago, and they sound just as good today. Thank you for posting this video!

[darsie1]

Yep - I'm back on this clip again. Need another fix of supremely great brass and rhythm.

[darsie1]

I guess this has to be my favourite YouTube clip even though - as museack mentioned - the quality isn't the best in the world. Still - a fantastic clip.

[museack]

Good song, but poor quality video & sound.

[ChicagoBoomBoom]

OMG!!! I love this video! My older brother had all 9 albums and I heard them all. Please listen to them all my friends! They rock!

[dxhound]

Before synthesizer and computer generated effects, these guys had to actually play the instruments ... amazing music !!! Thanks for sharing...

[argonaut815]

The medley opened with 'Casino Royale' , from the Woody Allen James Bond spoof.

[argonaut815]

Great little live medley of Herb Alpert's early stuff, featuring Louie Armstrong's 'Mame'...

[stevei061]

Listening to this is so nostalgic. I can remember my parents having Dinner Parties, my Sister and I upstairs in our own bedrooms, and hearing these songs playing on the "record player" downstairs while we tried to sleep. Just brilliant! Great days!

[THB79]

What's the name of the first song?

[llensart]

@THB79 Theme from " Casino Royale "

[goldenbear1986]

@THB79 The name of the song is Casino Royale, which was the title song written by Burt Bacharach for the 1967 movie of the same name. 

[Ladyluck329]

GREAT MUSIC!!!! classic, creative, fun, love ya Herb xo

[whodat54321]

Herb and the ORIGINAL lineup that made all those classic tunes, despite the fact by the time this clip was made, he was extremely busy with the A&M label. About this time he was in the process of recording the second Carpenters alblum, which would rocket the label to far bigger money than Herb himself could ever hope for. A snapshot in a time long gone....

[chandarast]

TALENT. Look at the GARBAGE today that passes as "music". Notice- these guys are just hooked up in a room- basic amps, a simple drum kit, bass, and Herby- and they sound like a ONE TAKE album track on everything they play. Herb came up with the Tijuana Brass "sound" - he needed a band. These are BEST of the best session players of all time. And NO, they're not Mexican. Herb was Jewish, there's some Italians, a "mexican" guy- Herby used to joke- he called it Jew/Italian/Latin hodge podge.

[Feneter]

These are the songs (album & album #):

Casino Royale -- Sounds Like (#8)

Never on Sunday -- Lonely Bull (#1)

Mae -- Going Places (#5)

Spanish Flea -- Going Places (#5)

Mame -- S.R.O. (#7)

If I Were a Rich Man -- What Now My Love (#6)

Tijuana Taxi -- Going Places (#5)

Green Peppers -- Whipped Cream (#4)

[BazanCristina]

Just love it!!! I can´t have enough of this! Greetings from a Brazilian and from Brazil.

[BazanCristina]

Just love it!!! Greetings from Brazil.

[puppet003]

To mystrol3: apparently you don’t know any music history evolution, being that you have to degrade an ethnic race, comparing titles , with music. Mexican, latino, for that matter has inspired many gifted musical artists, and that influenced many borders. I hope to think that your children won't be as ignorant, and bigotted, as you. And by the way, it's possible that maybe someday, your grandchildren may have the bloodline of a once poor latino, who once scrubbed your bathroom or toilet...

[intelliwaza]

john paisano my idol glad to see you in this video. one of the best jazz guitar players in history

[kolbpilot]

As with many others, I grew up with this music as well, one of the many records my mom had in the '60s.

[mrsgstd]

It's too bad so many people only think of the Beatles, Kinks, Stones, Yardbirds etc. when speaking of music of the 1960s. Those were all great acts but it seems everyone has forgotten these guys! They were as big/famous/popular as a musical act could be in the 1960s. Love this video.

[PUCKFLORIDA1]

Casino royale

[arushandapushand]

what's the first tune they play?

[paddycorry]

stretch universe........a la Einstein of the Trumpet !

[darsie1]

If Herb didn't get you and the misses up and dancing then no other artist was going to.

[FUNNYGUYJACK44]

@FUNNYGUYJACK44 : Green Peppers, from the Whipped Cream & Other Delights album

[countrad]

simply put Herb Alpert is a joy to the world

[RegencyRoyale]

2:22!...I'll steal a question for a Woman friend of mine, 'could a French horn ever fit in with H.A. and the T.B.?...but I'm honoured that a friend Shared this Medley with me to watch! on YouTube!..quite a frontline "This Guy's in Love...

[ruevo1]

Ich liebe die Musik von Herp Alpert schon mehr als 40 Jahre lang. Schön sie hier zu hören. DANKE. Daumen hoch. Grüsse ganz herzlich - ruevo

[mystrol3]

herb is totally awesome, you know it takes a NON-mexican to utilize these great sound's instead of the mexicans themselves who can't exonerate their own music! they must be busy cleaning toilets or wiping some gringo's asshole, you know the "jobs" that noboby in their right mind would do.!!!!!

[whodat54321]

@mystrol3 Not really.... the mariachi sound that Herb made famous was very popular with tourists to the border towns of Mexico for many years, but nobody had the idea of taking that sound and writing some catchy, punchy melodies to go with it. The combination of pop, latin, and a dash of jazz was unheard of in the early 60's, and has been copied extensively in 'smooth' jazz today, especially in bands from Southern California.

[cyprixx]

These were sure game show favs. I remember watching game shows as a kid and they played these into the commercials. Was a big Herb Alpert fan as a kid. The special shows were pretty good for their time.

[geekstreat]

Nice clip! This guy, one of my musical heroes! Long live Herb and the brass!

[justaguy502]

i'm 18 and grew up listening to this music, along with nat king cole and other such artists. i would rather listen to this music than most of the music nowadays.... i love it!!

[cactuseli]

Thanks. Is there more?I am wondering if Petula Clark was on the TV Special as well? Anyone have any idea? Thanks.

[jamestthomas1]

He's the biggest instrumentalist hitmaker in sales ever. Great stuff.

[tmad40blue]

THE CHEESINESS IS DEVOURING MY BRAIN

[bernikappi]

Einfach große Klasse! Grüße aus Deutschland!

[AsianaBestOption]

Wow! I remember my dad and mom dancing with those music...thank you for posting!

[elbeem2000]

i had forgotten about Herb Alpert, until I heard his name mentioned today. I immediately googled his name - found him alive and healthy on youtube.com ... what memories!!! My aunt introduced him to our household in the '60's, and had a steady stream of Herb Alpert music in our house. I think she bought most of his albums. What a joy to relive all those classic tunes on youtube.com!!

[bvb7589]

A long time ago, I heard something .....Herb Alpert had a child with a Mexican lady from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. Many years later I heard the story again many times...the child in question was OSCAR DE LA HOYA!!!!!!. Joel De La Hoya doesn't look anything like Oscar...which keeps wondering......

[MyHeadHurts79]

@bvb7589 Gosh, I haven't heard that story since...since the LAST time you told it!

[funkprodigio]

Hereb Alpert também é famoso por ter sido um executivo da indústria fonográfica (ele é o "A" da empresa A&M Records - uma empresa de gravação fonográfica fundada por ele e seu parceiro de negócios Jerry Moss, posteriormente vendida). Também tem outras ocupações :

Trompetista, compositor, arranjador, cantor, Produtor musical, Pintor, Escultor .Em 1996, Alpert chegou a marca 72 milhões de álbuns vendidos em todo o mundo.

[brass12neck]

The genius of Herp was his marketing and his arrangements, I seriously don't think he ever played........I have never seen him not mime on a clip and the rumor is his parts were recorded by Buddy Childers of the Stan Kenton Band. Great sound though, no doubt surreptitiously inspired a generation of trumpet players.

[footboydl]

@brass12neck Wrong! Herb played all the trumpet parts on the original TJB records with the exception of a few orchestral passages. He also played live all over the world when the TJB toured in the 60's and '70's. Miming was done very frequently on tv shows in the 1960's. And now, even at age 75, Herb is playing jazz with his wife Lani Hall to great critical acclaim.

[krolhenz]

this is PURE TALENT my friends, and that's REAL MUSIC!!! xD

[Pensfan1618]

1) Casino Royale 2) Never On A Sunday 3) Mae 4) Spanish Flea 5) Mame 6) If I Was A Rich Man 7) Tijuana Taxi 8) Green Peppers ............I think that covers it!!!!!!!!!!! Great music that I grew up on!!!!

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

Someone help me. What is the name of the first song that they started to play? I have heard it all my life, and I didn't know it was by Herb Alpert. It's the song right before Never Never on a Sunday. Also, what's the name of the fourth song? Is that the theme from the dating game. Can someone just list the songs? lol

#1-?

#2-Never Never on a Sunday

#3-?

#4-Theme from the Dating Game?

#5-Mame

#6-Fiddler on the Roof

#7-

#8-

Thanks

[DeeJTee1]

One of my favorite groups ever. What is the name of the last song on this clip?

[footboydl]

The title of the last song is "Green Peppers" from the WHIPPED CREAM & OTHER DELIGHTS album

[Dragonese1]

Had the pleasure of seeing Herb perform at the Wisconsin State Fair. He was fantastic. Still is.

Thanks for sharing and God bless.

[scottmanduzy]

One of my favorite live concerts in 1986 was seeing Herb and TTB in Chicago!!

[intelligentpizza]

perhaps, since we are living in a fast world of instant gratification and lowest commonality the simple things in life are often overlooked! so few would really appreciate the Tijuana Brass today, preventing something similar from emerging and gain any notoriety. Nobody seems to have the time.

[l0b1z0n]

waw

Mira como me has dejado despues de escucharte

Herp Albert, donnde quiera que estes:

Gracias

Por tu musica

[musiclyriclovers]

They used that song on the dating game show for a theme song

[schnuurtchke]

so cool

[swingrays]

When Herb goes out into the audience...is that a WIRELESS mic???? I didn't know they had that technology then!!!!

[pinkunicycle]

no its got a chord... you'll see at the beginning

[perpetual61]

What Memories this Involks. My Parents had Several Albums and we would Listen. Herb Albert and Tijuana Brass Were Pretty Popular In the 60's. Too Bad there's nothing like it today.

[Joannec95]

There's nothing like it today, you are so right and that is why I love this kind of music. You can sit back and enjoyed the music.

[boopsie13]

Awesome Video,  thanks for posting.

[tripsadelica]

So good...so GOOD!!! Oh...please God, give me a time machine so I can go back. I hate today.

[cornetman100]

Great!!! Great!!! Great!!!

[mychipom]

butters sings this better

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

Great stuff!

[toplayup]

Theme song to the first James Bond movie, or almost anyway,,, 'Casino Royale'

[livingdeadbtu]

[jwippel]

Could anyone tell me what that last song was. thanks

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

Green Peppers (from Whipped Cream & Other Delights - 1965)

[chicorex]

It was Green Peppers.

[Robert4770]

I remember watching this in "Living Color"

[Robbo61]

What is the title of the first tune?

[wannawatchu66]

@Robbo61 "Casino Royale."

[aircavmedic]

I am really glad you posted this thanks, a great medley

[ImNotSpielberg]

this is just awesome...thank you for posting these...

man what a trip down memory lane..

I've been a fan of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass since I was a young lad..that's going back a few decades :)

[epgrove1961]

Wish they played "Brasila". Herb Alpert & TJB are the best brass band ever!

[bultaco111]

why isn't anyone using profanity in these comments? why aren't you calling each other of a bunch of F---king idiots?

You're all so nice!!

[hec1086]

maybe this ain't the kind of cheap places you used to visit to! you idiot!

[hec1086]

okay youfucken idiot

[bultaco111]

kant yu fuken spelll???

It's FUCKIN' NOT fucken.  YOU fucken idiot

[mikey60077]

By and large, they would have been seen as weird, square and out-of date opportunists with coiffed-do's held together with Gillette dry-look hairspray in Sansabelt slacks, Ban-Lon shirts & Hush-puppies shoes, sporting Timex watches and trolling for tender 'groupies'. Taken on the whole, this band's music was promoted to foster a sense of 'well-being' during an ever-encroaching erosion of American expansionism. After all is said & done, I do like the music though & that's all that really matters!

[fito65]

Great band !!!

[BernardProfitendieu]

Herb Alpert is a class act

[Boosoog1]

@fooser1

Tnink i`ts Green Peppers

[fooser1]

What is that last tune they play at the finish?

[dicksatan]

Tijuana Taxi

[fooser1]

No, that was the next-to-last. I want to know what the very last tune it.

[bltss]

GREEN PEPPERS from the WHIPPED CREAM album.

[schulzmark3]

Herb Alpert is a great music all the time.

[copilunio]

Wow!

[schulzmark3]

You're right!! I love it...

[schulzmark3]

I love it Herb Alpert. It's terrific band..

[Pensfan1618]

Tune at 1:50 is Never On A Sunday

[mountainrover]

What's the tune/song at 1 min 50?

[darub40]

These guys are timeless, great music! I can remember my parents listening to this on the old stereo.

[AndreH54]

Great band, very good band.

[mthivier]

Strange that they didn't include "Lonely Bull", their first hit.

[BadfingerFan]

Absolutely the finest Herb Alpert video!

[onerom63]

I'm 45, so he was just a bit before my time, but my mom and dad had most of his albums and played them a lot. I grew up listening to these tunes, and they bring back such good memories. My favorite tune by Herb Alpert is the timeless classic, "This Guy's In Love With You." Such a beautiful song.

[asbriel]

@onerom63 ...I'm nineteen and that's my favorite song to... it's just an amazing song

[citationxbjfv]

@onerom63 my father used to have an lp record and i fell in love with herb music,,i am 46 now,,,,and i was born and raise in mexico,,kind of nostalgic,,

[mejika18]

@onerom63 Man, I'm 31... and i cant have enough of herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass!

[GUALLACOL]

One of the best bands of all times!!

[Orangelazaruspete]

As kids we used to pull out our Tijuana Brass song books and spend hours and hours playing all of Herb's songs. Very easy music and so much fun years ago.  Brings back memories of a better time.

[motley59]

Who doesn't love Herb Albert and his beautiful medley of extrodinary music? Our generations grew up with him and future generations will learn to love and appreciate his sound, his music forever.

[sankoenrique]

MR Thegooch,

You just did it again'..Certainly you are the man..!!!! astonishing compilation.

[philipjlaws]

Herb's the greatest - thanks for posting these rare video classics!

[tonybenn1000]

[Chandavkl]
