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...

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...
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 🥰
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!!!
My boyfriend's dad,too!!!! Wow...& i think he heard them 1st as a Navy Sea Bee , which we found out Both of our dad's were in Vietnam. Never met another SeaBee kid in my life.. we're still together. 🐝⚓️🐝⚓️🧷❣️🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹💙🎶💙🎼- baby blue(Falco's,not dylans-notahipster- "We Build! WE Fight!" & this brings everyone together.... )
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!
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.
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!
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!❤️🎺🎶👨🏻😍
@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. 🙏 ❤️
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. 👍
🌺 🙋🏼♀️ 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. ❤️
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 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 😌
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 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.
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.
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
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
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?
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 ❤
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.
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.
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........🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️💞❤️💞❤️💞❤️

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
@@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
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..
Seriously? Im just flabbergasted cuz hes not only a great musician, also a great cultural influence, he has a full backprint of a mexican festive meal, with a picture of it, all in Color ! Its real cool to see what open minded people can achieve just by experiencing the hapiness and wanting to share this whole feeling. I really like the Mexican culture, for as long as Im not been there, but Im very sure I could find my over there, all this what I find now only adds up to what I already thought but couldnt speak out loud. Thanks Albert & Mexican Mariachi Brass Mucho gusto
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!

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.
My mom had his albums and I can remember listening to them when I was 9 years old... checking out the album artwork and dancing around. When I wake up in the morning now so many years later... I put this song on to remember those golden summers passed... of limitless energy and possibilities.
@Herb Alpert as usual,. I woke up in extraordinary pain with arthritis seeming to visit every bone in my body. Can you imagine my delight at hearing from you...(the legend...the man himself...) MR. HERB ALPERT..?? I am a fan of your music and have been since I was 9 years old and I am 60 years old now. Waking up in pain is something that many go through and I discovered a tonic in the form of your timeless music dear Sir. Every morning I would start off just laying on the bed staring up at the ceiling and I would listen to " THE LONELY BULL "... because I am lonely... never having been married or been blessed with any children. Hearing the opening strains.. one can't help but recognize The melancholy in the melody... But underneath that.. there is the rhythm of the jangling of spurs... and the other worldly beauty of the lady's voice encouraging me to believe in a better day... and even the possibility of finding romance and love. Tears will spring to my eyes as they do now.. forever the romantic. I am also listening to your deliciously upbeat and seductive composition of " A TASTE OF HONEY "and it brings back memories of the golden days when I was considered somewhat of a beauty myself. My mother died when I was 15 and she was all I had.. no brothers or sisters and my father left when I was three. So the lonely life it's one that I've suffered with all these many years. My mother's love for you and your music is how we are at this moment now. I am truly grateful and humbled to have the opportunity to express what your music has and continues to mean to me... how it blesses and fortifies me... In the half light of my lonely room.. you dear Sir.. through your amazing talent and music.. beckon me forth and lead the way into a brand new day. Forever following... LOVE FROM LOS ANGELES...DAWN ENGLISH....
Mid 70s as a kid . That album cover w whipped cream girl got my attention as much as the music 😊 On saturdays my mom and dad playing this through the house as they share beers . Mom making tortillas and chopping up salsa. Great memories.!
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.
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)..
I love Tijuana Brass. I had one of their albums. Every Saturday I had to clean my room and dust all the house furniture. Oh how I loved to move around to this music. I also twirled to it constantly. So at age 66, 7:30pm alone, except my doggie GG, I'm humming a Tijuana brass tune. Out if nowhere. I had to look them up and this music peps me up. Music was great in my young formative years. From Herb Albert to the Beatles, we had the best!!!

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.

SO many memories on this song and many more a favorite of my moms from the 70s then later my love and I sharing old childhood songs sad to say she has passed to cancer yet she is still sitting near me as I listen to this song. Thank you for the memories
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.

I was just a kid. But his music filled the air with his beautiful sound. Still makes me smile.
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
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.

I was not born yet but I still like this music!
Im 15 and I love this music

Thank you!! 🙌

Totally agree

So true
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.

I was 8 years-old. Loved it then ,love it now .Its just something special about it! 🎶🎺🎶

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 🎯

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
Handsome, charismatic and talented! Herb Alpert had it all. I remember his music so well. I don't think anyone didn't like it.
Handsome Herb Alpert. As handsome as his musical artworks.
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
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....
When it was cool for musicians to wear suits. I heard Herb Alpert when I was little. Always liked it. Still do.
I remember this from about 1970. I haven’t thought about it in a long time. Thanks for posting it.
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 parents had this album and I listened to this about a zillion times. Still sounds so sweet
Same same
If you ever have any doubt as to the definition of 'cool," just keep this one high on your playlist.
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.🙂
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!!!
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 ❤
I just discovered this song in my Apple Music playlist and I can‘t stop hearing this wonderful piece of music 😍. Greetings from Germany 😉✌️
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.
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.
Miss you mom today she loved that song died at 91 to Covid 19
:(😪
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........🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️💞❤️💞❤️💞❤️

This was my late dad’s favorite band. RIP Dad
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
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. 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.
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
Pure unique styled music that can never be duplicated . Genius.
After 41 years I finally found that classy and luscious song that magically appeared on the main regional radio of my country! That's heartwarming!
I respect those bands and artists for their true original art and their formal suites .. It was really a good pure time !
Unforgettable!!!
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..
Haven't heard this song in ages. Still sounds great! My prayers are with all the Moms who can no longer enjoy this song.
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?
With his perseverance and dedication hard work for his genuine jazz music sir herb alpert is the second richest musician now in the world
Seriously? Im just flabbergasted cuz hes not only a great musician, also a great cultural influence, he has a full backprint of a mexican festive meal, with a picture of it, all in Color !
Its real cool to see what open minded people can achieve just by experiencing the hapiness and wanting to share this whole feeling. I really like the Mexican culture, for as long as Im not been there, but Im very sure I could find my over there, all this what I find now only adds up to what I already thought but couldnt speak out loud.
Thanks Albert & Mexican Mariachi Brass
Mucho gusto
I remember this special love love love Herb ranks up there with one of the all time trumpet players
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
GREAT 👍 Love music 💗 with soul. Tijuana Brass!!!
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!
Herb Alpert has been an inspiration since I was a kid. I played clarinet and wished I had chosen trumpet forever.
This tune has been stuck in my head for over 50 years. I can't shake it, and I still love it.

This music is a stroke of genius
It takes me to another dimension
opens new horizons
makes me a better man
Thank you, Herb!
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.
I always loved Herb’s sound….. so crisp and clean
My mom had his albums and I can remember listening to them when I was 9 years old... checking out the album artwork and dancing around. When I wake up in the morning now so many years later... I put this song on to remember those golden summers passed... of limitless energy and possibilities.
@Herb Alpert as usual,. I woke up in extraordinary pain with arthritis seeming to visit every bone in my body. Can you imagine my delight at hearing from you...(the legend...the man himself...) MR. HERB ALPERT..?? I am a fan of your music and have been since I was 9 years old and I am 60 years old now. Waking up in pain is something that many go through and I discovered a tonic in the form of your timeless music dear Sir. Every morning I would start off just laying on the bed staring up at the ceiling and I would listen to " THE LONELY BULL "... because I am lonely... never having been married or been blessed with any children. Hearing the opening strains.. one can't help but recognize The melancholy in the melody... But underneath that.. there is the rhythm of the jangling of spurs... and the other worldly beauty of the lady's voice encouraging me to believe in a better day... and even the possibility of finding romance and love. Tears will spring to my eyes as they do now.. forever the romantic. I am also listening to your deliciously upbeat and seductive composition of " A TASTE OF HONEY "and it brings back memories of the golden days when I was considered somewhat of a beauty myself. My mother died when I was 15 and she was all I had.. no brothers or sisters and my father left when I was three. So the lonely life it's one that I've suffered with all these many years. My mother's love for you and your music is how we are at this moment now. I am truly grateful and humbled to have the opportunity to express what your music has and continues to mean to me... how it blesses and fortifies me... In the half light of my lonely room.. you dear Sir.. through your amazing talent and music.. beckon me forth and lead the way into a brand new day. Forever following... LOVE FROM LOS ANGELES...DAWN ENGLISH....
Man oh man!!! This tune has a smooth, driving beat that just keeps you listening. The bass, the horns and
percussion make this song really pop!!!!
Desde muy niño la escuchaba en mi casa. A mi papá le gustaba. Y crecí con este género musical.!
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.
Mid 70s as a kid . That album cover w whipped cream girl got my attention as much as the music 😊 On saturdays my mom and dad playing this through the house as they share beers . Mom making tortillas and chopping up salsa. Great memories.!
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.
reminds of the 70,s mum & dad loved it , fabulous .
My Dad loved Herb Alpert and this song, that is how i got into liking Herb Alperts's music
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.
I love Tijuana Brass. I had one of their albums. Every Saturday I had to clean my room and dust all the house furniture. Oh how I loved to move around to this music. I also twirled to it constantly. So at age 66, 7:30pm alone, except my doggie GG, I'm humming a Tijuana brass tune. Out if nowhere. I had to look them up and this music peps me up. Music was great in my young formative years. From Herb Albert to the Beatles, we had the best!!!
Tons of memories flooding back from that time........my wife used to play his music while doing the housework........
Beaitiful & so good looking with great talent. Do miss this types of great music.🇺🇸💖👏👍

This takes me back...I'm a kid in Brooklyn again waiting for my mother at the hairdresser ALL afternoon!
Herb is such an underrated trumpet legend.
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.
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.
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.

One of my All Time Favorite Horn Pieces!
Words are not enough to express how magnificent this music is my father used to listen and never forgot it..
This was my Dad's favorite song from Herb Albert and he and I listened to it on weekends. I was a boy in the 60's born in'65.
RIP Leon Russell, played piano on this song.
Jeffrey Smith no way really? I learn something every day. A wonderful pairing.
Leon, the Great, played on so many! What a talent, and what a great song!
And I think Hal Blaine on drums. Doesn't look like him here! All miming of course to the great recording.
@@oldgoody1 Mel Taylor
Hal Blaine too (drums in the studio recording)
One of my all time favourite songs. It‘s great.
Great classic music ! Herb Alpert is a genius.
One of my favorite childhood memories of my Dad.. riding shotgun in his Chevy convertible while listening to one of his Herb Alpert 8 tracks. ❤❤❤
SO many memories on this song and many more a favorite of my moms from the 70s then later my love and I sharing old childhood songs sad to say she has passed to cancer yet she is still sitting near me as I listen to this song. Thank you for the memories
