I have a soft place in my heart for Herb Alpert and his band. They came to Vietnam in the summer of 1969 and serenaded our 3rd Marine Division. I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman attached to Mike 3/9 at the time. I remembered that they blew those trumpets almost non-stop for over an hour. They were incredible.
That is awesome! Thank you for your service! I have a newfound respect for him. Many trumpet artists out there, but he plays w/ such finesse! Blows me away. Got an album by him called WARM in a free record bin. Love the album. His playing is like no other!
My Father introduced me to Herb Alpert. He was at that same show...He used to talk about it the same way you described it! Thank You for your Service. For My Dad...Semper Fi Young Man!
This playiing on my parents Magnaox, friends lightly laughing, ice cubes clanking, me on the steps listening. That was a long time ago - but stays forever in my memory...

I am italian and this tune was used as theme song for a famous soccer broadcast on the radio on sunday afternoon! So you can say that I grew up listening to herb Alpert 🥰
December 2022....I was a child in the 60s, but there was something about this guy and his music, I was 13 when I bought " This Guy's in love with you "....Still play it today, fond memories...
The coolest. If you are flat out broke and you could not pay the artists but once your album sold well and went the distance and look up every band member to pay them for their performance you are cooler than Kelvin!
My Dad loved this song, he introduced me to it back in the day, He bought the albums and we played them. Hearing it again takes me back to a different time when I was home and things were so much better!! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU DAD!!!
You're absolutely right! And he doesn't do it consistently. Not the greatest trumpet player in the world, but what a showman & marketer. He knew what people liked and make the song more interesting.
People didn't realize then that most of what they saw that was filmed for television - including this - were mimed. I think it was a huge cop-out ... almost considered fraudulent. On the other hand - it's great to SEE the bands and singers that we weren't able to see.
Herb Albert was such a favorite of my Grandpa who passed away in 2012. I remember him playing this song and others when I would visit. He loved Herb Albert so much. I haven't heard this song for years until now. I am pretty sure this was his favorite. It made me miss him so much much and I am crying as I type just thinking of the wonderful memories of him. Grandpa I miss you so much.
Wow. Brings back memories of going out to restaurants with my parents growing up in the seventies, and dancing around my grandmother's house, listening to the turntable!
There's just something about this sound that is absolutely irresistible. It's accessible, yet cosmopolitan, sophisticated, yet straight-ahead, universally popular, yet absolutely legitimate. It just never gets out of your head, your heart, or your soul. I first heard this piece back when I was seven years old, and I'm almost sixty. I still love it.
Anch'io che sono del 22 - 02 - 1959 rimasi "ipnotizzato" da questo brano, e difatti ho tutti i record di Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass, dal 1962 ad oggi. Claudio Bergamaschi, Bologna, Italy.
I first heard this as a kid in the car on family vacations (8 track) and loved it. Im almost 51 and had forgot about it until the Drew Carey Show played it as part of some sitcom plot. Had to look it up!
The generations of today only wish they had lived in the 60's. Many of us were lucky enough to have and continue to enjoy the memories through great sings like this. BTW, I love the fashion of that era, stylish yet cool.

Once had 6 albums in the top ten at one time. This was playing constantly at our house growing up. The album cover with the girl dressed in whipped cream opened this young boys eyes back in the day.
@bcask61: Ah, yes. You are talking about "Whipped Cream and Other Delights." I still have that album. It was just filled with fantastic hits.....and yes..that lady on the cover stirred up many young men's minds.
I saw a show a few years back where they talked to that girl. Believe she was in her 70’s. She was talking about all the adulation that came with that album cover. But yeah, she was something else.
Italia presente 🤚🇮🇹 Sigla "tutto il calcio minuto per minuto" da oltre 30 anni. Felice di aver scoperto il titolo di questo brano e questi artisti meravigliosi.
Brings back memories of when I was a little girl in the 60s and my mom would play his records and I would dance around the house. I have always loved his music. He’s a musical genius!❤️🎺🎶👨🏻😍
My dad is a retired Master Sergeant. Stationed overseas, our mom would by take us to the PX in So Cal. We still have the original albums from 1965. Herb Albert now has a net worth of nearly a billion. 👍
@Herb Alpert O my gosh, YES, it's added (since about 1969 for me. Parents mustve bought a new stereo that year). To this day your music makes me want to dance and play and cry even. I played for 10 years but after high school I tried the symphony....not quite my thing. No one around to play with but of course I still have both horns, remember the notes, but the embouchure is not excellent anymore. So, story...the last few times ive driven to my folks house in the country, i see this black bull sitting under a tree. I admire him and what song comes to mind? "Ferdinand the lonely bull". Thats how much your music is in my head. Love how your music still brings SUCH JOY to life! (((Hugs))) for you. 🙏 ❤️
For years I played chess with a friend....He had this album and often played it softly as we played chess. He has now been gone for almost ten years, but hearing this song reminds me so much of him.
My Mother had this Album when I was a little boy in the 60s, one of many, I can picture the album cover now, I going to digit out and listen and remember, Classic never goes out of style
My mom loved his music. When I was a little girl my mom would put this music on while we cleaned. My mom, sisters and I would dance while we were cleaning. Good memories…
cv a - what I find quite gratifying is when I play all sorts of older music for my teenage girls and THEN find some of them downloaded to their iphone music lists. I don’t say a word. Entering my home there is always music.
My dad brought this album in the 1960‘s from US to Germany. Taste of honey was always the last tune on my parent’s parties at our home. I still have this record and sometimes I put it on my turntable. So many memories 😌
I was a kid in the 60's surrounded by people screaming for the Beatles and Stones but Herb Alpert sound wound my clock. I took trumpet lessons at school until high school and a point where I could emulate his 'drawl' on the horn. It was at that point when I realized my heart was beating to his bass guitar. I dropped trumpet and took up bass. It's been bass guitar now for some 50 years. Neither trumpet or bass gets you girls at any age. Herb got them because of his looks and there I couldn't take lessons. Every time I hear him all I can say is the man was great. Bacharach was beautiful but Herb was great.
TOH-one of my all time favorites. Not many now remember the syrupy ballad on which it was based. Herb took it and turned it into something hip, fun and totally original. Wonderful! I've been listening to this since I was 16, about 5 decades ago!. It just never gets old❤❤❤❤Long live Herb and his fabulous brass
@@hmackie6823 I discovered the arduosity when as a girl of ten I picked up my brother's trumpet, tried to blow one note, then realized that one must blow with all one's might, even spit into the mouthpiece until one's face reddened, and barely could. Back to piano ... . But I appreciate any trumpetist -- Herb Alpert, Louis Armstrong, Harry James -- who can make music with that instrument, much less play long and with virtuosity.
If you practice day in day out month after month it won’t be difficult You can’t just blow it once and say it’s difficult It’s a commitment you have to make
this song was actually the fire that started my love for music. I usually credit Paul McCartney and Band on the Run as the starting gun but I found this in my parents records and I started trombone lessons the following year. my horn is a guitar now
I grew up listening to his music. My father had great taste! 😊 Herb seems like such a cool guy. I'm so glad I was introduced to this sound when I was young.
🌺 🙋🏼♀️ I am 64. 🥰 My Mom had every one of Herbie’s albums, & played them often, now I own them all. Originals. 😎 They are STILL in mint condition despite being played a lot. We treated every vinyl album with tender loving care. I know this particular tune - 🎼🎶 note for note & it gets stuck in my head, so when I hear it again, it gives me warm fuzzies & brings up my vibes. Herbie’s music never ages. 🎼🎶 Timeless classics. 💫 Today’s music can’t compare with this. Cheers. ❤️
Los Beatles sacaron este tema en su primer album Please Please me de Julio del 63, obviamente con letra....el ritmo era mas lento....Que buen compositor y trompetista es Herb Alpert..es toda una leyenda el señor
I am amazed how solidly herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass dominated the pop airwaves during the sixties. It seemed to be one hit after another non-stop. Even more surprising, his music was accepted over many generations.
You would really be amazed to find out it should have bern HERB ALPERT AND THE WRECKING CREW..session musicians on the album. The CREW probably played on every album you heard from any group, name em or solo singer from the '60's...LEON RUSSELL AND GLEN CAMPBELL were members...RIP TOMMY TEDESCO, MS. KAYE, AND HAL BLAINE ON DRUMS(thump thump thump)..the real stars..not the on stage guys..
This has been for dozens of years the opening theme of "Tutto il calcio minuto per minuto" (all the football minute by minute), an Italian radio programme which airs since the '70 for the running commentary of football matches. It has always been really really popular. This song is the anthem of 3 generation of fans
This is one of those tunes that pops back into your head every now and then because once you hear it, you NEVER forget it - and, ONLY this version! This is the original sound. Ya gotta love it. Takes ya back, doesn't it?
OMG... this brought back so many memories from my childhood.... amazing! still makes me happy.... reminds me of my dad. I'm glad that his passion for great music lives on in me.
As a child in my parents home in the 60s I did not always care for their choice in music... EXCEPT THIS BAND... I Loved eth Then & Still Love eth Today. Classic!
No one today can match the artistry of Herb Alpert........the arrangement masterful..............God bless you Herb Alpert ............your songs will be played for years and generations.......thank you for posting........🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️💞❤️💞❤️💞❤️

Que precioso, mí padre tenía el casete donde estaba está música, y cuando salíamos en el auto a pasear lo ponía y ponía y terminó gustandome. Que linda mí niñez, con mí papito que me enseñó a escuchar buena música.
Just saw Herb A. and Lani Hall, his wife of 41 years, perform at The Carriage House in Los Gatos, CA. A true class-act. and a trip down "memory lane". If you ever have the chance to see both of them, don't hesitate.
I always thought Herb was Hispanic..nope ROMANIAN..and Jewish..as a matter of fact, there were no Hispanics on stage, 3 Italians, 2 Jewish folk, and a 1 WASP..lol..and on the albums THE WRECKING CREW not the stage musicians on the road.. R.I.P. HAL BLAINE(thump thump thump)..
He sure was I listened to him when I was growing up my mom loved him..I’m 67..I love all the music back then we had the best music in that generation ❤

My parents were not hip. I used to have to listen to the radio on the sly. But I'm glad i have seen this from live recordings on RUclips ! Sweet !! ✌🏼❤️🙋🏻♀️
for years after this came out i didn't "hear" A Taste Of Honey, just a fine piece of music without a title. When someone finally pointed out the name, it made all the sense in the world and forever now i cannot hear it the "wrong way" anymore.

This was my father's favorite song! Everytime mom would hear it she would scream and tell my dad she was gonna crush the record if she could get ahold of it!😁 LMAO.
I have listened to Herb since 1966, probably 1000 times. Built a huge stereo then (350 lbs), and they released a 4 channel Reel to Reel tape for a couple of years. It was fabulous. I drove everyone crazy, but always cheer up when his songs play.

Absolutely .. Big Hal Blaine fan here. He tells the story that they were stuck finding a transition to go from that dreamy interlude back into the main vamp and he came up with that. Sometimes it takes a genius to play just simple quarter notes on the bass drum. It's perfect. RIP to if not the greatest, then the most accomplished drummer of all time.
And every single one of the band members was a superlative, superb musician. Listen, for instance, to the subtle, skilled, absolutely perfect drumming of Nick Ceroli. Piece, after piece, after piece, he couldn't have done it any better.
Jeff is correct, in fact Hal Blaine was just granted a lifetime of achievement grammy--I'm watching it right now which was why I youtubed this song. It's astonishing the number of songs Hal Blaine played the drums on
Except this was a synched dub of the album musicians, the session guys and gal= THE WRECKING CREW= HAL BLAINE(thump thump thump), LEON RUSSELL(yep, him), TOMMY TEDESCO, MS. KAYE, JULIUS WECHTER, et. al..
@@robertsprouse9282 Definitely. Herb barely puts his horn to his lips and shows no effort as would really be the case. TV producers really thought they could put one over on the viewing audience.
Yeah, not one Hispanic on stage, lol.. HERB- ROMANIAN & JEWISH, TWO OTHER JEWISH MEN, THREE ITALIANS AND ONE WASP.. And, the session musicians who they "synched" here are mostly non-Hispanic..THE WRECKING CREW TIJUANA? No, Herb was from a Jewish section of L.A., LANI HALL HIS WIFE FROM BRASIL '66 IS FROM CHICAGO..LOL.. One of his guys started the BAJA MARIMBA BAND and THE WRECKING CREW the KINGS AND QUEEN of session musicians played on their albums, too..
I have a soft place in my heart for Herb Alpert and his band. They came to Vietnam in the summer of 1969 and serenaded our 3rd Marine Division. I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman attached to Mike 3/9 at the time. I remembered that they blew those trumpets almost non-stop for over an hour. They were incredible.
So glad you had a "bright spot" over there! Thanks for your service.

One of my father's favourite songs. He passed away this morning at 93.
Please accept my deepest condolences.
A prayer for your father .
awe...I'm so sorry..
So sorry,thanks for sharing
Descanse em paz
Played this yesterday at my 89 year old mother's funeral. Was the soundtrack of our childhood 😊
If you were alive and old enough to appreciate good music in the '60s Herb Alpert was one of the coolest cats on the scene.
Old enough and wise enough to know there is still good music out there today.
@@liznavarrete5282 Like what music?
I was not born yet but I still like this music!
Im 15 and I love this music
Born in 1962 love herb thanks to my mum
This playiing on my parents Magnaox, friends lightly laughing, ice cubes clanking, me on the steps listening. That was a long time ago - but stays forever in my memory...

Tutto il calcio minuto x minuto
Not only you, it is well embedded in the memories of most of italian people of our generation !
Quando tutte le partite erano la domenica alle 15
Tutto il calcio minuto per minuto🔥👍
At 86 years now in 2021 and still on the ball. Herb Albert is so talented. Back in the day he ruled the roost !
I’m still listening in 2022
Parents played Herb and lots of Hank Williams
Fell in love with it all
@@jaygrenham With you in August 2022
Had all his music. Belonged to Columbia Record Club. Same age as he. Oy, yikes nice to walk down Memory Lane!!!

2020 still listening how cool is herb albert
One of the coolest !!
The coolest. If you are flat out broke and you could not pay the artists but once your album sold well and went the distance and look up every band member to pay them for their performance you are cooler than Kelvin!
It's 2021and i'm still listening to beautiful insrumentals!😃
2021. Yeahh.😍😍😍
U got that right, gerald, or gerry if i may. !!!!!!!
My Dad loved this song, he introduced me to it back in the day, He bought the albums and we played them. Hearing it again takes me back to a different time when I was home and things were so much better!! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU DAD!!!
Miss my dad to
The little half-note Herb adds after each few bars in his trumpet lead is just brilliant. Hal Blaine’s bass drum countdown is really memorable too.
All those important musical observations- And that adorable dimple doesn’t hurt either. 😬
You're absolutely right! And he doesn't do it consistently.
Not the greatest trumpet player in the world, but what a showman & marketer. He knew what people liked and make the song more interesting.
People don’t realize that the music they enjoy today is an amalgamation of classic stuff like this. These were the seeds
Thank you!! 🙌
People didn't realize then that most of what they saw that was filmed for television - including this - were mimed. I think it was a huge cop-out ... almost considered fraudulent. On the other hand - it's great to SEE the bands and singers that we weren't able to see.
@@MrSacman88 I thought so..

Actually ppl don't realize much.
Herb Albert was such a favorite of my Grandpa who passed away in 2012. I remember him playing this song and others when I would visit. He loved Herb Albert so much. I haven't heard this song for years until now. I am pretty sure this was his favorite. It made me miss him so much much and I am crying as I type just thinking of the wonderful memories of him. Grandpa I miss you so much.
my parents had this record, brings back memories
Sorry for yr loss
I'm just surprised his name changed to Herb ALPERT with a "P"!
My grandpa too
Wow. Brings back memories of going out to restaurants with my parents growing up in the seventies, and dancing around my grandmother's house, listening to the turntable!

Totally agree

So true
My dad had this record, when I was a little kid. Asked him to play this over and over. Loved the tune.
I was 8 years-old. Loved it then ,love it now .Its just something special about it! 🎶🎺🎶
Wow! I loved this song as a kid too and just now saw he’s performing in Red bank , NJ .
The generations of today only wish they had lived in the 60's. Many of us were lucky enough to have and continue to enjoy the memories through great sings like this. BTW, I love the fashion of that era, stylish yet cool.
100% agree, I am a 1960 generation. So much beautiful memories🥰
I grew up listening to Herb Alpert and the Tijuana brass music in the sixties. Great music!

Once had 6 albums in the top ten at one time. This was playing constantly at our house growing up. The album cover with the girl dressed in whipped cream opened this young boys eyes back in the day.
I remember playing air drums to this song and other Herb Alpert and also Dave Brubeck
@bcask61: Ah, yes. You are talking about "Whipped Cream and Other Delights." I still have that album. It was just filled with fantastic hits.....and yes..that lady on the cover stirred up many young men's minds.
We had that album, too.
Yes I was a very young boy then too and my parents had that album.I remember thinkn that girl was nekked under all that whipped cream 😁
I saw a show a few years back where they talked to that girl. Believe she was in her 70’s. She was talking about all the adulation that came with that album cover. But yeah, she was something else.

HOW can ANYONE NOT ♥️ HERB ALPERT & the TJB?????? FOR the MUSIC brings back MEMORIES to ONE and ALL!!!!!!!!
For years I played chess with a friend....He had this album and often played it softly as we played chess. He has now been gone for almost ten years, but hearing this song reminds me so much of him.
They don’t make music like this anymore. Nobody can play that horn the way he does! Bravo Mr. Alpert!
Herb Alpert does not even make music like this anymore himself! A pity...
@@dadaketgasparge . I dare you to play the trumpet like that at over 80 years old. Prick.
SESSION MUSICIANS the WRECKING CREW were on the albums, not the road guys..R.I.P. HAL BLAINE(thump thump thump)..
Pink Panter was here
Wynton marsalis.. check him out.. the greatest ever by far
My Mother had this Album when I was a little boy in the 60s, one of many, I can picture the album cover now, I going to digit out and listen and remember, Classic never goes out of style
My mom loved his music. When I was a little girl my mom would put this music on while we cleaned. My mom, sisters and I would dance while we were cleaning. Good memories…
Same!! Saturday mornings mom would put the albums on the stereo console and me and my two sisters would clean and dance❤️
Mom and dads party songs
I was just a kid. But his music filled the air with his beautiful sound. Still makes me smile.
Never should we let these oldies fall by the wayside, and just fade into no where!
cv a - what I find quite gratifying is when I play all sorts of older music for my teenage girls and THEN find some of them downloaded to their iphone music lists. I don’t say a word. Entering my home there is always music.
Now Britney Spears songs are oldies!
I can't count the number of time this has started randomly playing in my head over the years.
Same! Our grocery store always played his music when I was a kid in the 70's. I have loved this song since.
It's the perfect theme music for so many things 🎯
Love them!......played them to death in the 60's and 70's. What a gorgeous man! I had no idea he was A&M records!

My dad LOVED this group. I have an ancient vinyl set of these songs. Wouldn't trade them for gold.
GOD BLESS YA! My father and mother loved this, so did my brother and I, now 60, still listen, and brings wonderful memories!
Lucky, lucky.... apparently my grandparents were fans of this music, my grandfather died but maybe Grandma still has the records....
possibly the most difficult instrument to play and he does it like it's second hand
That's genius
I knew that as a child
@@hmackie6823 I discovered the arduosity when as a girl of ten I picked up my brother's trumpet, tried to blow one note, then realized that one must blow with all one's might, even spit into the mouthpiece until one's face reddened, and barely could.

Saxophone tuba obo.clarnet their all difficult to play
He's not doing anything terribly difficult.
If you practice day in day out month after month it won’t be difficult
You can’t just blow it once and say it’s difficult
It’s a commitment you have to make
Great collective talent all in one place. They were excellent musicians. This is also a beautuful piece of music. Thank you for sharing this.
this song was actually the fire that started my love for music. I usually credit Paul McCartney and Band on the Run as the starting gun but I found this in my parents records and I started trombone lessons the following year. my horn is a guitar now
When it was cool for musicians to wear suits. I heard Herb Alpert when I was little. Always liked it. Still do.
Handsome, charismatic and talented! Herb Alpert had it all. I remember his music so well. I don't think anyone didn't like it.
I grew up listening to his music. My father had great taste! 😊 Herb seems like such a cool guy. I'm so glad I was introduced to this sound when I was young.
If you ever have any doubt as to the definition of 'cool," just keep this one high on your playlist.

The CREW probably played on every album you heard from any group, name em or solo singer from the '60's...LEON RUSSELL AND GLEN CAMPBELL were members...RIP TOMMY TEDESCO, MS. KAYE, AND HAL BLAINE ON DRUMS(thump thump thump)..the real stars..not the on stage guys..
My mom had an album of theirs. As kids, we put it on and danced around to all the songs. Always had so much fun ❤ Great childhood memories
Pure unique styled music that can never be duplicated . Genius.
I always loved Herb’s sound….. so crisp and clean
I respect those bands and artists for their true original art and their formal suites .. It was really a good pure time !
Unforgettable!!!
Those were my childhood days when my dad played his records of herb Albert.
took the words right out .. totally agree. great memories
My dad as well, I played trumpet all through junior hi and high school because of Herb
Mary Felix me tooo!!!

This has been for dozens of years the opening theme of "Tutto il calcio minuto per minuto" (all the football minute by minute), an Italian radio programme which airs since the '70 for the running commentary of football matches. It has always been really really popular. This song is the anthem of 3 generation of fans
Se non c'è la solita invasione di italiani in questa sezione commenti è solo perchè in pochi ne conoscono il titolo/autore
@@marco3083 esatto. Io l'ho scoperto per caso
@@Marowak31 Ho appena acquistato la sua raccolta rimasterizzata.
E' stata una bella scoperta.
Grazie! Non sapevo. Ascoltavo questo negli anni 70 quando mio padre era proprio appassionato di Herb Alpert.🙂
I just discovered this song in my Apple Music playlist and I can‘t stop hearing this wonderful piece of music 😍. Greetings from Germany 😉✌️
My parents had this album and I listened to this about a zillion times. Still sounds so sweet
Same same
This is one of those tunes that pops back into your head every now and then because once you hear it, you NEVER forget it - and, ONLY this version! This is the original sound. Ya gotta love it. Takes ya back, doesn't it?
Unforgettable!!!
OMG... this brought back so many memories from my childhood.... amazing! still makes me happy.... reminds me of my dad. I'm glad that his passion for great music lives on in me.
Desde muy niño la escuchaba en mi casa. A mi papá le gustaba. Y crecí con este género musical.!
One of my All Time Favorite Horn Pieces!
As a child in my parents home in the 60s I did not always care for their choice in music...
EXCEPT THIS BAND...
I Loved eth Then & Still Love eth Today.
Classic!
No one today can match the artistry of Herb Alpert........the arrangement masterful..............God bless you Herb Alpert ............your songs will be played for years and generations.......thank you for posting........🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️💞❤️💞❤️💞❤️

Que precioso, mí padre tenía el casete donde estaba está música, y cuando salíamos en el auto a pasear lo ponía y ponía y terminó gustandome. Que linda mí niñez, con mí papito que me enseñó a escuchar buena música.
A great classic from Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass...and Herb was so amazing looking, very hot...love that sweet man with his soft voice always ~
I agree with with you june he is a lovely man""·········:-)
June Lynn Agreed!😍🎺
June--Herb Alpert just performed this song on a PBS grammy show and sounded and looked great-they were honoring the drummer
Hello June, How are you doing?
The sound of real music, not overly loud but not super quiet, ahhh what a feeling
"Real music" 😂
Geeez
I was born at the end of the sixties but I found these albums in my grandparent's things.
Herb is such an underrated trumpet legend.
Haven't heard this song in ages. Still sounds great! My prayers are with all the Moms who can no longer enjoy this song.
This takes me back...I'm a kid in Brooklyn again waiting for my mother at the hairdresser ALL afternoon!
reminds of the 70,s mum & dad loved it , fabulous .
What a great musician. He put magic into it! And received America's top honour.
My grandfather worked for Herb Alpert at a&m records. Trying to get more stories from my grandma before they are lost forever.
Great classic music ! Herb Alpert is a genius.
One of my all time favourite songs. It‘s great.
Just saw Herb A. and Lani Hall, his wife of 41 years, perform at The Carriage House in Los Gatos, CA. A true class-act. and a trip down "memory lane". If you ever have the chance to see both of them, don't hesitate.
+paul englert oh dang. I heard about it and missed darn it
The same city that Kidsoft is established but in a different decade: the 90s.
Can she still sing? She was fantastic on the late 60's Beatles cover: FOOL ON THE HILL..with MENDES AND BRAZIL '66..
I always thought Herb was Hispanic..nope ROMANIAN..and Jewish..as a matter of fact, there were no Hispanics on stage, 3 Italians, 2 Jewish folk, and a 1 WASP..lol..and on the albums THE WRECKING CREW not the stage musicians on the road..
R.I.P. HAL BLAINE(thump thump thump)..
Lani Hall. Probably my favorite female voice of all time. Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66's version of The Look Of Love still gets me to this day.
He sure was I listened to him when I was growing up my mom loved him..I’m 67..I love all the music back then we had the best music in that generation ❤
Beaitiful & so good looking with great talent. Do miss this types of great music.🇺🇸💖👏👍

This music is a stroke of genius
It takes me to another dimension
opens new horizons
makes me a better man
Thank you, Herb!
Whip Cream & Other Delights. One of my favorite records as a kid! (the girl on the album cover helped ha ha)
I liked hearing the CD.
Tito Tim That is why I bought the album when I was 13.Fortunatly the music blew me away
The girl on the album was 4 months pregnant & that was shaving cream on her. Whipped cream melted to quickly under the hot lights.
Yea, it was WAY before the internet and cell phones, boys like us took what we could get!
My brothers imaginary girlfriend 😅 all five of them haha
Wonderful. Ah, back in the day.
My parents were not hip. I used to have to listen to the radio on the sly.
But I'm glad i have seen this from live recordings on RUclips ! Sweet !! ✌🏼❤️🙋🏻♀️
for years after this came out i didn't "hear" A Taste Of Honey, just a fine piece of music without a title.
When someone finally pointed out the name, it made all the sense in the world and forever now i
cannot hear it the "wrong way" anymore.
one of the best songs of all time.
+the best of Anapolis Timeless classic
+nettils so right
Completely agree!
Ok
My Dad loved Herb Alpert and this song, that is how i got into liking Herb Alperts's music
I remember this special love love love Herb ranks up there with one of the all time trumpet players
This was my late dad’s favorite band. RIP Dad
Herb is one of the coolest men, ever. Way cooler than other men in his generation, and since. Cool, talented, intelligent, impossibly handsome.
He thinks highly of you, too.

This was my father's favorite song! Everytime mom would hear it she would scream and tell my dad she was gonna crush the record if she could get ahold of it!😁 LMAO.
Miss you mom today she loved that song died at 91 to Covid 19
I have listened to Herb since 1966, probably 1000 times. Built a huge stereo then (350 lbs), and they released a 4 channel Reel to Reel tape for a couple of years. It was fabulous. I drove everyone crazy, but always cheer up when his songs play.
Tons of memories flooding back from that time........my wife used to play his music while doing the housework........
He's One of a Kind!!
Completely agree!
And ridiculously handsome.
He's 82 years old, still performing, still writing, and still winning GRAMMYs. I saw him in concert last November - it was a real treat.
Me retrotrae a mi infancia por que es quizás el primer tema que recuerdo de mi niñez allá X los años 63' o 64' muy lindo y emocionante recuerdo.
This is just so catchy
This tune has been stuck in my head for over 50 years. I can't shake it, and I still love it.

Classic groove...that BIG BASS drum compliments, Hal Blaine. 👉👏❤️🥁
Absolutely .. Big Hal Blaine fan here. He tells the story that they were stuck finding a transition to go from that dreamy interlude back into the main vamp and he came up with that. Sometimes it takes a genius to play just simple quarter notes on the bass drum. It's perfect. RIP to if not the greatest, then the most accomplished drummer of all time.
And every single one of the band members was a superlative, superb musician. Listen, for instance, to the subtle, skilled, absolutely perfect drumming of Nick Ceroli. Piece, after piece, after piece, he couldn't have done it any better.
You do realize that the drummer on this recording is Hal Blaine, don't you?
Jeff is correct, in fact Hal Blaine was just granted a lifetime of achievement grammy--I'm watching it right now which was why I youtubed this song. It's astonishing the number of songs Hal Blaine played the drums on
and Herb Alpert just performed this song on the show and sounded great
Except this was a synched dub of the album musicians, the session guys and gal= THE WRECKING CREW= HAL BLAINE(thump thump thump), LEON RUSSELL(yep, him), TOMMY TEDESCO, MS. KAYE, JULIUS WECHTER, et. al..
@@robertsprouse9282 Definitely. Herb barely puts his horn to his lips and shows no effort as would really be the case. TV producers really thought they could put one over on the viewing audience.
Miss this SOOO MUCH !! Lord our world is in rapid decline 🥺
From a time where people were optimistic, no matter what. I miss that dearly...
I still have hope.
Rudy Deblieck wrong
You hit nail on the head!!! Remember that feeling?
Steve G dinner is ready time to go back to mommy’s basement
Tell that to the black people getting lynched
I have so much respect for Herb Alpert, a legendary and generous talent!
These guys were always a tight band...excellent
Espetacular! Herb Alpert!
Yeah, not one Hispanic on stage, lol..
HERB- ROMANIAN & JEWISH, TWO OTHER JEWISH MEN, THREE ITALIANS AND ONE WASP..
And, the session musicians who they "synched" here are mostly non-Hispanic..THE WRECKING CREW
TIJUANA? No, Herb was from a Jewish section of L.A., LANI HALL HIS WIFE FROM BRASIL '66 IS FROM CHICAGO..LOL..
One of his guys started the BAJA MARIMBA BAND and THE WRECKING CREW the KINGS AND QUEEN of session musicians played on their albums, too..
