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!
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!!!
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...
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!
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 🥰
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 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.
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!
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!
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!❤️🎺🎶👨🏻😍

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.
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 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 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 😌
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.
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.
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.
@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. 🙏 ❤️
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 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
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 RU-vid ! Sweet !! ✌🏼❤️🙋🏻♀️
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.
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 ❤
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!
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.
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
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?
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..
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 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
@@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
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 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.
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
This song is wonderful memories for me. Almost every weekend my parents and I would go up to Disneyland when I was very young it was an hour drive and we'd blast this in the car on the way to Disneyland and back home. My dad would tell me stories during this song and my mothers laughing . I remember this so well. Always will think of them in my head. I hope to do this with my kids someday aswell! :)

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)..

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.
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!!!
I LOOOOOOVE this song. Lively, imaginative, fun. The only reason I don't like hearing it is because it was a favorite of my dear mother who has gone to her eternal rest. Despite that, it is a work of art, and beats the crap that is recorded today and claims to be "music".
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....
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.
