Same here. Born in 1962. My brother, who is 12 years older than me, had a couple Tijuana Brass albums when he was in high school in the late 60s. I always loved hanging out in my brother's room when he was playing his TJB albums. So I was listening to Herb as a preschooler and loving it!
My dad had 2 LPs. I would play them but then hide them at the back of the pile when my mates came round and made sure all The Who, Led Zep etc. Was at the front 😂
Saw this talented man in Dec 2022.He hasn't missed a beat!He was fabulous on the horn.He stayed and did extra songs and answered questions from the audience. What a nice man.Still very down to earth and humble. I am forever grateful to him for signing The Carpenters! A fan since the mid 60's when I heard his horn playing on the radio.The trumpet continues to be my favorite instrument. Thank You Herb! Love You Forever.!
Well that was fun. My first band starting in 9th grade played about 50 TJB songs, many of these. Herb is still with us, what a gift he brought to music and the music industry.
WOW... REAL INSTRUMENTS...REAL MUSICIANS...REAL SINGING...What a concept. Upbeat and Happy music. I was truly fortunate that my parents bought their albums and recorded them on the ‘reel to reel’ tape recorder in the console. Great Great memories of a much better time... for me anyway.
When I was young I purchase a record player and my mother insisted on me purchasing TJB. I knew it was her favorite and so I did just that. I must admit I grew accustom to the sounds and enjoyed the music. This brings back so many great memories and I enjoy the sounds even more today.
My mum used to play Herb Alpert music on a Sunday morning back in the 60s when I was very young. I have grown to love his music and it brings back wonderful memories of her.
Check out his philanthropic foundation. He has continually given to so many aspects of the American community. God bless him-- so much talent and compassion!
Saw him& theTjb in August 1965 at the height of his popularity at the Ohio State Fair ... it was my very 1st concert with 200 to follow from Elvis to Dylan & many many in between I was 16 at the time of the Herb Alpert show ... and yes I went on to buy all of their LPs ... at that time they rivaled the Beatles with albums on Billboards top 100 chart that year,they charted 5 in 1965, nobody has matched that accomplishment since, he's always been my favorite trumpet player ... he's also the only performer ever to score a #1 hit singing😮&leading a band !!!
Fantastic. This brings me back to me childhood when I would listen to my parents TJB albums for hours. This makes me miss those days but it also makes me happy. What a great band.
Bravo!!! Bravo!!! I had 9 TJB albums growing up and practically memorized them all. Even this morning while vacuuming my apt I was whistling a bunch of his tunes, they're stuck in my head. Thank you Herb, you move me whenever I think of you.
Saw Herb Alpert & the TJB in 1967 or 1968 at the Bradley Field House, Peoria, IL. First time I'd seen a live band. Just wish that I could remember who the opening act was. Wonder if they ever became well known.
Sweet memories - rare artist to reach No. 1 as both a vocalist (This Guy's in Love with You) and an instrumentalist (Rise). "All art is a gift of the Holy Spirit. When this light shines through the mind of a musician, it manifests itself in beautiful harmonies." ~ Baha'i Faith
ah, look at Julius at his prime and all of them, i just cry seeing this! I knew Julius and I'd never seen this before, but tear of joy for how it was. What an awesome performance!
+dbd1353 The members were very talented but also on the recorded albums were members of the famous Wreaking Crew. Love all of this music. Some other facts Herb Albert is not Mexican he is an American citizen of Jewish decent. He is close to 80 years old now and is a painter and sculpture too.
My mom and dad used to listen to Herb when I was real young so all these songs sound familiar. And get this..they played his music on a reel to reel tape recorder.
Ruben: you're thinking of "Bullish," which came out in 1984, and was Herb's last album with the Tijuana Brass. "Diamonds," "Keep Your Eye On Me" and "Making Love In The Rain" were all releases from Herb's 1987 album "Keep Your Eye On Me."
I'm still alive and the amazing music 🎶of Herb Alberts Tijuana brass is the vibrations I have my greatest child hood memories feelings i!n!Hallelujah thanks for the invite down memory lane!🌈Feeling Groovy
Yesterday I added South of the Border to my album collection… One dollar $ 1.00 at the half price bookstore. Dude’s been married to Sergio Mendes lead singer for the past 44 years.
Herb founded the Tijuana Brass after listening to Mariachi players in Mexico City introduce a bull fighter. Never knew his new sound would end up on 'The Dating Game'
Jim Lang was a huge fan and friend of Herb. He helped Herb in the beginning. Jim asked if he could use the song. I can imagine what the royalties were on that project.
This is awesome! In the late 60's my father brought the music of Herb Albert and the TJB Band in our home , playing in the new Aiwa recorder in those days! I was blown away when I heard them , cause it was The Beatles I was hooked into. Thank you Herb Albert for your great music!
It was cool to find this video! What a treat to hear that medley! Those guys were awesome! This Guy's in Love With You is one of my favorites of theirs. 😍Thanks for posting!
That Coney Island 1975 album was the bomb with Chuck Findley on 2nd trumpet. Very nostalgic remembering very clearly experimenting with Pop’s foldout cassette recorder, his Sharp cassette player. Chicago, Herb Alpert & the Beach Boys issueing forth, detaching the speakers & squeezing all of the stereo soundstage outa the poor little unit ... hahaha. 2day’s the anniversary of Pop’s passing, I’m back i/t family home settling up the estate. Found the manual 4 that player, the player itself long gone ... think Mom diced it ages ago. In 7wks time she will have passed too. In the ensuing decades I’ve collected some serious analogue audio ... all stuffed temporarily into the living room & producing considerably better stereo ... and a wider repertoire but still including those cherished Herb Alpert TJB, Sergio Mendes Brasil-66, Spyro Gyra & Flora Purim recordings. Just last week I had the Sony Walkman Pro repaired/serviced ... analogue audio bling!
The first time I heard Casino Royale ABC Was using it as background music for the Grand Prix of Monaco on Wide world of Sports! Still remember Gilles Villeneuve launching his Ferrari 512 over the the ass of I believe it was Ronny Peterson's Lotus to that song!🤣👍🎼🎵😎
Gads - had not seen this since it aired originally. This was rare for Midnight Special that normally had lip-synced music. This was done live. Herb with or without the tjb is just amazing.
That is so NOT TRUE that the Midnight Special "normally had lip-synced music". In fact 99% of the bands who played on the show played live. That was one of Burt Sugarman's (the shows producer) requirements.
In the early days, they usually played live. As the show went on, they had more and more examples of lip synching performances, as many performers couldn't live up to their recorded music doing it live. Also, there were many 'mixed' performances where live was supported by taped recorded music (often of instruments and singers that were not present for the 'live' performance on MS). Whenever you hear a performance that is note for note EXACTLY as a record, and the performer's hands don't match what you hear being played, it's pretty obvious that there's some lets say 'not live' enhancement being done.
i was an avid music enthusiast, of any sorts, since my childhood days , and this music is one of them , its only now that i know herb alpert is the musician . All i know before is i always remember the music tune , and now , that i am already in my senior years , i always played it in my fone or laptops anywhere be it in my work or at home . thanks
I'll always watch a Midnight Special clip, because they may not have had the most cohesive show lineups, but it was always LIVE! Same with Rock Concert.
This is the music that was played in our home when I was a child. Now I'm 60 years old and it still brings me great joy.
Born in 63… same thing. Raised on this! I’ll forever be grateful that my parents loved this music!
Born in 64. Ditto. I was raised on Herb Alpert, Bert Kaempfert, rock n roll, big band, dixieland and country. Love em all!
Born in 62. Same for me. Wealth of music.
Same here. Born in 1962. My brother, who is 12 years older than me, had a couple Tijuana Brass albums when he was in high school in the late 60s. I always loved hanging out in my brother's room when he was playing his TJB albums. So I was listening to Herb as a preschooler and loving it!
I ve heard this music on the upside Stephen hunt.😊
I'm 64 and this band and their sounds have been in my head since I was 4 or 5 .
I just turned 64. We bought all his albums. He was exceptionally popular in the 1960's.
I’m 60… same! My parents loved Herb Alpert… and his contemporaries…
I'm 65, almost 66, and I'm with you guys!
My dad had 2 LPs. I would play them but then hide them at the back of the pile when my mates came round and made sure all The Who, Led Zep etc. Was at the front 😂
I'm 64 & my Dad loved to hear them. They bring back such happy memories.
Yes. I did too. Herb in my life as a young boy. Very fond of the group. Thanks. 🎉
Saw this talented man in
Dec 2022.He hasn't missed a beat!He was fabulous on the horn.He stayed and did extra songs and answered questions from the audience.

I have had a crush and loved Herb Alpert since I was a kid.
Now in older age, I still love him.
Amazing that he still performs at 88 years old. ❤
I am 92years. Lady. Still think herb is the greatest!! What JOY!!
WHO IS OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER WOLFMAN JACK!?!
Herb Alpert is the coolest dude alive. A National treasure. A living legend.
SÍ! DIVINAMENTE ❤️🙏
I love the marimbas too!! They remind me of my times in Guatemala!!

I missed this back in 1975 ! Way Cool. You Tube is like a Time machine for music !
One of the all time great musicians and a kind, gentle person.
Smart businessman too, he knew talent when he heard it, even if it wasn’t his type of music
Весь мир радуется жизни с этой музыкой ! Браво , Альперт ! Россия любит тебя , своего внука !
Herp alper forever and ever since Ipiales Nariño Colombia América Latina 🎉
Your wife too sings beautiful Anni hall
Herb was very good looking in the sixties and still fine looking a decade later. A gorgeous head of hair too !
They were a no BS live band. Herb and the boys were on their game!
I was 4 when I first heard Herb Alpert. My mom would dance around our kitchen in her MooMoo and fuzzy slippers. Oh the memories!!!
Herb Alpert is the coolest guy who ever lived. Period.
And signed so many more brilliant acts with his baby, A&M Records. He is a true gift to music lovers.
Karen and Richard for one!👍💔🎼🎵😎
Too true. A lot of people don’t realize how instrumental he was and is to the beauty of modern music.
A music legend with an extraordinary musical legacy.
And he started A&M in an LA garage because no one else was interested in him.
Yeah forever grateful to him for signing Karen & Richard.Herb loved Karen's voice as much as us!
My mum used to play Herb Alpert music on a Sunday morning back in the 60s when I was very young. I have grown to love his music and it brings back wonderful memories of her.
What a perfectly lovely memory.
This blows the doors off the dogshit that passes for popular music today. They were a class act as human beings and great musicians as well
"AMEN" SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!!
Check out his philanthropic foundation. He has continually given to so many aspects of the American community. God bless him-- so much talent and compassion!
The first song gets me goosebumps. Reminds of my dad in another time when i was a kid
You got that brother
*are a class act - they are still doing occasional concerts, if I lived nearby I would try to get tickets to see them perform.
Real talent. Real instruments!

That was the highlight of my day!!
I was very young at that time!! My dad was saxophonist!! So this is what we listen too!! I loved it!! Thank you!!❤
The Casper Troopers used to cover those tunes and it was awesome! Big time loud.
Que gran diferencia la música de antes....con la actual....!!!!!!!!
What a treat for the audience to listen to real musicians playing real music.
Yes!
For Sure! No auto-tune or drum machine required!
What a talented bunch...Herb was not only gorgeous but could play and sing fantastic.
So true!! So talented and so handsome! Sigh!
He was not a great singer
Para mi en lo personal el mejor trompetista y bien acompañado con Tijuana brass.. lo recuerdo desde hace más de 50 años y todavía me encanta
También
Igualmente! Viva Herb Alpert!
Happest time in my life with his music in the background growing up... When life was better...
Yes, and childhood was fun!
Fantastic. This brings me back to me childhood when I would listen to my parents TJB albums for hours. This makes me miss those days but it also makes me happy. What a great band.

Same here, I grew up with this music. Still love it.
So did I!! In fact, my mother used to tell ppl I was easy to babysit... “just load up your Herb Alpert albums” lol.
Wow! And Julius Wechter is an ace on the marimba. He has chord substitutions going on. Real professionals.
….ahhhhhh simply golden 💛🌟♥️
Alpert was an incredibly talented person. Great music and memories. This is what the country needs today on the radio. Again!

Wow June 20 1975 and here June 20 2000 and still listing to these masterpieces!
Just when most people thought Herb Alpert was finished as an artist he comes back with Rise in 1979 and Diamonds in 1984!
I thought Rise was from Chuck Mangione ?
No! And Diamonds was from 1987.
Greg Kozak Thx for the correct info!
He had BEYOND dam good song!

Remember Cam Nelson? I wanted to be her when I was 12
And none of the Tijuana Brass were actually Hispanic

Very good. Never had seen that. Thank you so much for posting this! Herb is a legend.
I met Herb when I was in the sixth grade ,40 some odd years ago and I never forgot that day. It was great!

Herb Alpert como cantante era un excelente trompetista
That Coney Island 1975 album was the bomb with Chuck Findley on 2nd trumpet. Very nostalgic remembering very clearly experimenting with Pop’s foldout cassette recorder, his Sharp cassette player. Chicago, Herb Alpert & the Beach Boys issueing forth, detaching the speakers & squeezing all of the stereo soundstage outa the poor little unit ... hahaha. 2day’s the anniversary of Pop’s passing, I’m back i/t family home settling up the estate. Found the manual 4 that player, the player itself long gone ... think Mom diced it ages ago. In 7wks time she will have passed too. In the ensuing decades I’ve collected some serious analogue audio ... all stuffed temporarily into the living room & producing considerably better stereo ... and a wider repertoire but still including those cherished Herb Alpert TJB, Sergio Mendes Brasil-66, Spyro Gyra & Flora Purim recordings. Just last week I had the Sony Walkman Pro repaired/serviced ... analogue audio bling!
Strangely enough, the other trumpet player here is Chuck Findley’s brother Bobby.

Lot of memories from my childhood
Inolvidables songs of Herb Alpert
Lo amo!!!!!!!!! Aprendí a apreciar el sonido de la trompeta con Herb Alpert. Y tan guapo!!!!!!!!!!
I remember this music in the 70s as a little kid in the shopping malls with mum.
like herb alpert & the tjb very much. reminds me of the 60's again.
got to see him and his band live way back in '68
it was the first live show I had ever seen
very memorable even after 45 years
His version of "Casino Royale" is one my favorites.
I used to listen to Herb in early 60's I think whipped cream is my favorite album
His version of Casino Royale is the version on the movie soundtrack.
The first time I heard Casino Royale ABC Was using it as background music for the Grand Prix of Monaco on Wide world of Sports! Still remember Gilles Villeneuve launching his Ferrari 512 over the the ass of I believe it was Ronny Peterson's Lotus to that song!🤣👍🎼🎵😎
@@larrysmith6797 I memorized that a long, long time ago ...
Fabulous musician and songs
I love this music.

SO GOOD!
This guys in Love with you
Gads - had not seen this since it aired originally. This was rare for Midnight Special that normally had lip-synced music. This was done live. Herb with or without the tjb is just amazing.
Herb's horn on Zorba is par excellence -- that's so hard to play that staccato and have that kind of clarity on a horn and 1 handed to boot!
That is so NOT TRUE that the Midnight Special "normally had lip-synced music". In fact 99% of the bands who played on the show played live. That was one of Burt Sugarman's (the shows producer) requirements.
In the early days, they usually played live. As the show went on, they had more and more examples of lip synching performances, as many performers couldn't live up to their recorded music doing it live. Also, there were many 'mixed' performances where live was supported by taped recorded music (often of instruments and singers that were not present for the 'live' performance on MS). Whenever you hear a performance that is note for note EXACTLY as a record, and the performer's hands don't match what you hear being played, it's pretty obvious that there's some lets say 'not live' enhancement being done.
I'd like to see the lip-synced Mid-night Specials. Those must be extremely rare because I've never saw one.
For a starting point, look up the Midnight Special performance of Kiss On My List by Hall and Oates.
Saw Herb & TJB in 1968 in MSG Manhattan NY. With the original line up, What a great concert.
Wow! That's a treat.
So boyishly beautiful rendition of the song 'This Guy's in love with you' in 2:30. thanks.
i was an avid music enthusiast, of any sorts, since my childhood days , and this music is one of them , its only now that i know herb alpert is the musician . All i know before is i always remember the music tune , and now , that i am already in my senior years , i always played it in my fone or laptops anywhere be it in my work or at home . thanks
I'll always watch a Midnight Special clip, because they may not have had the most cohesive show lineups, but it was always LIVE! Same with Rock Concert.
