from 1965-67 he had five # 1 albums, so that ought to reflect how popular his albums were. Several stayed on the charts for over 100 weeks, including the one this cut was on ('Going Places'-- 107 weeks)
I've liked this instrumental since I was a kid in the late '60s. Herb Alpert's pop tunes were really big back then, but you never hear them played now on radio at all.
@snowrocket I've always like songs from Herp Alpert since I can remember. People have told me how popular his tunes were back then, and I think it's a real shame that you don't hear his music on the radio anymore.
@Brooklynskipper87 I think the reason is is because it's too "lightweight" for what radio stations think the public wants to hear these days. I also think they'd be surprised to find out different.
Amazing channel! Thanks skipper!
