Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass Tangerine Video 1967

This beautiful clip is part two of the Aragon Club Scene from the 1967 Singer show. The tune Tangerine is from the 1965 Whipped Cream and Other Delights album.

P.S. I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to see Herb and Lani play at Blues Alley in Georgetown Washington DC 12 May 2008. The show was absolutely spectacular. After all these years, they both still have it: the skills and the love. Truly a remarkable show. Herb and Lani, thanks to all of the wonderful years of warming our hearts with your great art work. You both are truly blessed as well as I was at your show.

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.

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

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 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 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.

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

@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.

@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.
