Herb heard a fantastic ear, and could brilliantly arrange standards, Latin tunes and novelty songs like no one else. He really built his own sound. His take on certain songs is so distinct, and really different than anyone else recording.
If you put 3 trumpet players in 3 different booths and had them play three notes I could tell you which one was Herb Alpert. His sound is so unique. Only he can make the sound that he does. Everyone else is...well, BLAH!!!
I can clearly remember the night that I sat with my family and watched the original braodcast of this show. while living in Michigan in '67. It was fantastic then and is still great today. Memories of a by gone era....compared to the garbage that passes for music today. Herb, you gave us GREAT memories of how music can be palyed and we love you for it....!!!!
I don't believe I can add anything that has not already been expressed here, except to say that I agree with everyone. AND Of Course that H.A. Also remains my All time favorite artist above all the other music I still listen too. Thanks for posting such wonderful and positive remarks. Glad to see that I'm not the only one that feels this way
I still live in that time period of music.Like who said this is gone?I listen to what i want to.It really is too bad that people just live in the past as far and music and other things.You bet it was a great time for music,but who said that it had to go away?I play this and others like it all the time.I stoped likeing music in 1996.Anything after that is just pure garbage.Long may you run!
Herb is the best lookin man I have EVER seen in a tux! And yes he had it all! I grew up on his music. Even over the years of all the transition of different music & artists Herb Alpert STILL remains my favorite musician of all time! Herb is the MAN!!!!
Herb Alpert had it all. And of the many versions of What Now My Love that became hit singles (including Sonny and Cher, Mitch Ryder and all of the others), Alpert's is still the winner. BTW, for what it's worth, the song itself is from 1966, although the TV special is from 1967.
My favorite Herb Alpert song from my favorite album. I love it as much now as I did '67. It'd be nice to see some real concert footage of the Tijuana Brass back then. I like these 'music videos', but some LIVE footage would be a true delight.
My favorite TJB song goochman, and indeed rarity. Thanks so much. Lani was the best singer Sergio had and her Sundown Lady recording should be more available!
I agree with epgrove 1961, I never remember this show, never saw him, but these were the first Lp's I purchased Great easy listening, still is current
@epgrove1961 You probably won't, but I hope that you will always appreciate and enjoy REAL music played by REAL musicians. And remember, he was not only performing with his band but also running his record company (A&M Records) at the same time. And one day I look forward to reading his autobiography when he gets the time to do so. It should be great reading. Great music was definitely made from 1960-1985 and I miss it too.
The first time I saw Herb Alpert and The TJB was back in 1972 under a tent in the round at The Oakdale Musical Theatre in Wallingford, CT. Fantastic show. I could listen to HA & The TJB all day and all night!
I bet most you didn't know that Herb Albert was the "A" in A & M Records. He is rich beyond compare and really didn't need to perform then or now. But his love for the trumpet still keeps him going. HIs is very smooth. Too bad they didn't have real Mexicans in the group. Made up mostly of Italians
@stubbyguy Not only did we know that Herb was the "A," but that his name is spelled "Alpert" with a "p," not a "b." Do you know who the "M" is, stubbyguy?
@stubbyguy Herb was the "A" and Jerry Moss was the "M" in A&M Records. Do you remember the "Whipped Cream & Other Delights' album cover. The model (Delores Erickson) was not covered in whipped cream, believe it or not, it was shaving cream. But either way, it is one of my favorite album covers of all time (I'm old enough to remember when they used to make albums back in the day.)
@willardlockejr Hmmm, I didn't know the name of the "Whipped Cream" cover girl. And you're right: shaving cream was used because real whipped cream would melt away too fast under the hot lights while shooting the picture. The only real whipped cream on that cover is on Dolores's right index finger. That's also why they use glue instead of real milk when cereal commercials are filmed.
't Was de eerst LP die ik in handen kreeg op m'n 6de geloof ik. Ik heb 'm nog steeds en iedere keer als ik What now my Love draai -nr.1 kant1- krijg ik weer kippevel.
When I was younger, I thought this song was a little "cheesy". It was due to the many artists performing it, all having various degrees of success. But I have to admit, there is a certain timelessness to the Tijuana Brass' version that I REALLY prefer over most of the others. They are that way with many of their other performances, too.
Great music appeals to many and stands the test of time. All their music sounds as great today as it did when they originally performed it. Herb Alpert and the TJB are totally a class act.
Hey Gooch..me again, what has happened to all this happy good feeling that was the sixties? Herb used to pack venues in coast to coast. Thanks again for sharing this happiness! Lets gather all we can from all this...
These specials that Herb did back in the 60s were incredibly well done, tasteful, stylish, creative, and classy. Oh and the music was out of this world. It makes me cry to think that folks don't seem to want to appreciate this level of quality any more. These specials, along with the Burt Bacharach TV specials of the time really need to be released on DVD for future generations. This is our American culture in a time capsule and it needs to be preserved. Incredible video.
@alphabeets I totally agree with your comments. This is music that should be preserved and passed on to the next generation of future musicians. I remember watching these specials as a young kid and I appreciated the music then, and I truly appreciate it even more today, when you consider the crap that's considered 'music" these days. i hope that someday that these specials will be released on DVD. Herb Alpert is a true class act.
@alphabeets About 10 years ago Mr. Alpert made a brief appearance at a jazz festival in Dallas. He only played a couple of numbers, but I was satisfied.
Back in the 70s I also saw Bacharach perform live. You're right...this was
American pop culture at its zenith, and I was privileged to see both of these great
One of the greatest world hit ever, composed bay french famous international singer composer Gilbert Becaud, and covered nearly 1200 times in every langauge : Presley, Sinatra, Judy Garland, sammy davis, agnetha falstog (from Abba), Barbra Streisand, shirley Bassey, Andy Williams, . Herb Alpert got two awards with his what now my love cover !!
