  • "Rise" is a song written by Andy Armer and Randy Badazz Alpert, and first recorded by trumpeter Herb Alpert. The instrumental track was included on Alpert's solo album Rise and released as a single in 1979. It reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in October of that year and remained in the top position for two weeks. Herb Alpert thus became the first (and only) artist to reach the top of the Hot 100 with a vocal performance ("This Guy's in Love with You", 1968) as well as an instrumental performance. "Rise" also spent one week atop the adult contemporary chart. "Rise" was successful on the other charts: It peaked at number four on the soul chart, and number seventeen on the disco chart.The recording also received a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.

    Back in 1980 I put on this song for my 85-year old grandmother, who was raised on a farm in Czechoslovakia. Didn't speak much English, and never listened to music. When the intro started, she perked up and proclaimed, "It makes me want to dance." So, we did!
    Thanks, Mr. Alpert.

    The most favorite memory of my mother was when my mother, my sisters, and myself were dancing to this song back in the summer of 79. For the first five years of my life my mother was a drug addict, and she had a bad overdose that year. The county almost took us away from her, and the only way she could get us back was if she got clean. She came home, and we turned on the radio...She heard this song, grabbed us, and started dancing. That was the happiest I ever saw her, and there were few times she was happy, but she was so glad to be with us. My mother stayed clean for us, and she never used again. But this song will always be special

He managed to imprint onto you a special part of himself that lives on in your heart beyond the LP or anything physical. Now it's time for you to pass it down to your children.

This wonderful tune was selected to be his intro music when he came on the air at 6 am every morning. At 6 bells, I would hear NBC chimes, NBC radio news, then the air would be filled with this song and it was epic. It left a lasting memory from a time when I was involved with a great radio station and the people who worked within it.

      I started playing trumpet in 1968 and yes, Herb was one of my great inspirations. I had many of his TJB records. I also had the sheet music to the 'Beat of the Brass' Album. I remember playing 'This Guy is in Love with You'. I played the trumpet part and my music teacher played the accompanying piano part. Great memories! I played through high school then switched to sports in college. The allure of the soccer pitch was too much. I have thought about picking up a horn and playing again. I use to always want a Bach Strat but could not afford one in high school (they were a boat load in 70's dollars). Well, now I can afford many of them, so if I ever play again, yes it will be a Bach Strat!

My coach and his wife were very accomplished and tough trainers. I’m thankful I had the opportunity to train with them. It was so hard but it shaped my life and I still remember my routine to this day.

    Herb Alpert is a musical genious IMHO. I love how this song builds slowly. Really an example of quality disco. Beautiful trumpet as always by Mr. Alpert. Just when you hadn't heard much from him on the radio this song emerged out of nowhere and blew me away. It's a song I literally never get sick of. How many songs can anyone identify with in that way?

    Words will never do that time justice. You had to be a part of it to understand.

      Yes Jeff, the '70s were great for us (we're about the same age as I graduated HS in 1980) but I think the best years started about early '50s and we just caught the tail end of that good era. Still, we're blessed. Think about those born in the '70s and '80s. What did they grow up with? I feel really sorry for them.

Music really did seem pretty bleak by the time the century changed. But as far as what I grew up with? I was born in 79 and grew up with not only 80's and 90's music, but also the music my parents enjoyed. There is a lot of great music to be found in those two generations. The 70's did seem more laid back, though. They really cracked down on things that made partying fun by the time I was a teenager. Raising the drinking age and hitting us 80's kids hard with anti-drug propaganda...
