@@geraldcroft9020Yes! And also, he supported and believed in Gino Vannelli when no one wanted to record his ahead-of-time music. Visionary musical producer and, yes, generous human being Mr. Alpert 🙂
A great artist has died. Mendes died on September 5, 2024, at the age of 83, in a hospital in Los Angeles. He was surrounded by his wife and longtime musical collaborator, Gracinha Leporace. His death was attributed to complications related to Long COVID. May his memory be a blessing.
What a great dimension this man, Mendes, gave us all in his music and music arrangements of other songs!! He made songs way better! The very best as is also Herb Alpert!! Both top of the mountain! We all still play all their music! Sorry to lose Sergio!
Sergio Mendes... Herb Alpert... Great talents... My parents had all their records... Grew up with this great music by these great musos... Thanks gentlemen...
Happy birthday Herb. You are a great singer, trumpeter and person. Person. Amazing talent you have. Thank you also for signing Karen and Richard Carpenter to your a&m label. Happy birthday herb
I've always loved the voice of Lani Hall who helped to make the distinctive sound of Brazil '66. Seven years after this video was made she and Herb Alpert were married, a match made in heaven.
Happy Birthday to Herb Alpert coming up on 3/31! I finally got to see him in San Diego, CA! My love for the Tijuana Brass started with my Dad coming home from work and playing all his albums. I have most all of them and treasure every one and the memories they bring.
the girls are such quiet singers Brings back memories of growing up in the peaceful 60's and 70's and hearing this music on the radio, so calm and beautiful
Right?! My parents would have wild cocktail party's out by our pool in the summer and we would hear Sergio Mendez & Brazil66 softly playing over the speakers. Just a flood of memories come rushing back, I can smell the nighblooming Jasmine♥️
@@peacelovejoy8786 My parents had parties in our dinning room mostly. It was huge. It was over a 100 year old farmhouse in 71. I still have some of the decanters and other bar paraphernalia.
With utmost respect to Sergio Mendes and the men in Brasil ‘66, I think it was mainly those girls that made them so outrageously popular. The combination of their beauty, their voices, those dresses and their dancing was the WOW factor! People were mesmerized watching them…and then Lani’s voice! WOW! 😍 Of course, Sergio was smart enough to CHOOSE the girls and the music, so it never would’ve happened without him! When I think that, without Sergio, the world may have never seen or heard of Lani Hall, I’m so glad things worked out like they did. Thank you, Sergio…and thank you, Lord! The world was very lucky they all came together as they did. And now we know…the REST of the story! 😏😃
@@mikeymutual5489: Some people had these things called “televisions“ back then and could actually watch them on those things! Can you believe it? Sorry you never had the opportunity. 😏
Thanks Herb channel for sharing that great moment. Takes me right back to being a little kid in the 60s -- I bet I watched Hollywood Palace that night because I was probably one of the greatest preschool fans the TJB had in '67. This is an unforgettable song as well that has always moved me emotionally. I ask blessings on Sergio, Herb and Lani and anybody else on that stage still with us.
This song. This song... Mr. Mendes' brilliant fingers on the keyboard -- his bringing of the gorgeous Brazilian rhythms -- Lani Hall's exquisitely haunting voice. All that, plus all the little nuts and bolts and musical cookie crumbs have been a permanent part of my life since I first heard it in 1967. It carries me away, and it gives me goosebumps. Occasionally, Miss Hall's soaring solo brings me to happy tears. Real magic must have taken place during the creation of this recording at A&M's studios all those years ago. I honestly doubt that that singular group of musicians ever surpassed the heights achieved in just this one song. Thank you Sergio, thank you Lani, thank you Herb and Jerry, and thanks to the rest of the musical ensemble. You will never know the times that you have gotten me through -- you are all a part of my DNA.
I was born in November 1966 and part of my childhood was enriched by these two geniuses. They were wonderful years where, thanks to my father, I was lucky enough to grow up listening to this. Today, at 57 years old, I am excited to remember what I have inside me and what I took to be who I am...
In 1967, when this performance happened, I was a freshman in college. And my favorite group was Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66. And I went to see them play at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. A memorable evening. They were great. You can do the math as far as how old I am, and how old they are too. :) Always loved them. Bought all their albums along the way. Lani Hall here, who's always had an unbelievably great voice, became Herb Alpert's wife in 1974. And one of the first albums we bought a year earlier was !!Going Places!! by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Number one album on the Billboard Pop Albums (Billboard 200). Always loved their music too.
Herb Alpert is a legend both in talent and how he handled his record label company. I haven't met him in person but his amazing personality radiates in films and videos.
Sono cresciuto ascoltando questi artisti d'alto livello, ho scoperto adesso leggendo i commenti, che il grande Sergio Mendes è deceduto che riposi in pace e faccio tanti auguri a Herb Alpert, quanti bellissimi momenti passati ad ascoltare la vostra musica con mio padre, mentre si viaggiava in auto con la mitica Citroen Ds, ricordi indelebili di un bambino felice e fortunato ad avere un padre con gusti musicali raffinati. Grazie di cuore Herb per avermi accompagnato in tutti questi anni, tra l'altro sei stato anche il primo produttore di un grande musicista di nome Gino Vannelli che ascolto da 50 anni. Ti mando un saluto speciale dal lago maggiore Italia ciao grandissimo artista.
This band Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66 along with Herb Albert & The Tijuana Brass, all time favorites. Going Out of My Head, beautiful song written by Teddy Randazzo.
I never had the opportunity in the 60s as a youngster, to see Sergio and this group. However, I will never forget their sound, their style, and how I thought they were so groovy to have that year in their name (‘66). RIP Sergio Also I will never forget Herb Alpert either and never knew he married a Brazil66 singer. Beautiful couple.
Sergio Mendez (1941-2024) he and his group "Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66" a musical force after 1966 and beyond. I became a fan of his then. I still have his vynil albums. So many hits like Mais que nada, The Look of Love, Night and Day, With the little help from my friend, Fool on the hill, going out of my head, Daytripper. I love the way the did Scarborough Fair and others. Rest in peace.
While the men seem quite likeable and of course both very famous, it is the female singers here that are the focus of this performance and make the song what it is, fabulous. Someone mentioned one of their names in the comments, glad for that, but it’s tragic how so many women’s contributions and artistry are simply ignored, true in the 60s and today in less obvious ways. Great song.
Wow you’re 89 years young Mr. Alpert! Your legacy is far and wide and endearing. From your own music to Brazil 66 and on, and all the other artists on A&M…too many to name here! But thanks for creating a space/record label where these talented musicians could make such great, wonderful timeless music! Hope you’re doing well.
@drworn12345 did you know Sergio Mendes had a hit record in 1983 called Never Gonna let you Go???!!!..it’s on RU-vid if you want to hear it….I hope you will reply to this
I was a kid back in 67' enjoying all the great music that was being put out back then from every genre'. Music was so magical back then with great talents.
Maybe he held that against USC. When he engaged in philanthropy, he gave to UCLA. The school of music there is the Herb Alpert School of Music, his name is on the building.

@@cocoaorange1 hi school of 72 I listen to Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66 nonstop because Lani Hall had such a beautiful voice. There’s a video one of them singing amd the look that she gives Herb Albert is the look of love, I wish I could see on my wife’s face ,complete total submissive, admiration, and love. I found it song is called “come what May”
HA and SM. Two great musicians each with their own highly distinctive sound originating in Mexico and Brasil respectively. Wonderful. As a musically aware youngster of around 8 years old in the mid 1960s I first became aware of the Sergio Mendes sound and without being able to put it into words at the time it sounded impossibly sophisticated .... music for adults in a world far ahead of me. Now when I hear the Brasil 66 gentle, laid back " sound" it evokes nostalgia.
