SEAMLESS ALBUM-HELPS DEFINE A GENERATION

Up until this 6th album from the TJB in May, 1966, the music was a collection of pieces providing good listening, but lacked the themematic quality of this album.

The TJB took the music world "by storm" from 1962 through 1969, with listeners still enjoying the music today. It took quite some talent to go head-to-head with the popularity of Elvis, Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, among others, yet the TJB did it and did it with almost unbelievable success and popularity. It got to the point that Herb Alpert had to settle on a fixture of musicians for the touring, rather than rotating various musicians for the studio albums. Once that was settled, the music became more settled too. Hits continued to follow hits, over 40 on the top 10 during those years.

Herb Alpert is a very fortunate man and also a very talented man. To have this music idea in his head and heart and to be able to translate what he felt and what he wanted to not only other individual musicians but onto tape for a permanent record is no small accomplishment. To do what makes one happy, make millions of others also happy at the same time, and to become rich doing what one enjoys is no small thing. And the music sounds as fresh today as it did when I listened to it back in the 60's. Returning from the military, entering college, this music was everywhere I went. On the car radio, on TV, and on my phonograph, the TJB had become a household word; what a great invention the CD, no more wearing out those 33 and a thirds.

I know that What Now My Love won the awards and is what this album is all about, but as I listen to the CD while typing this review, I find my favorite of the album is The Shadow Of Your Smile. But no matter what your favorite, this is a terrific album that may seem to be a sleeper, but as time has shown it was and remains a real tiger.

Semper Fi.

Herb Alpert - Outstanding Music
It was nice to be able to purchase this Album on a CD. I bought
the Album when it first came out in the 60's. ALL Alpert's Albums
were Excellent. I now have 5 of his Albums on CD.

herb gains even more momentum
after this release, herb and the brass owned the airwaves and to a certain extent could do no wrong. even though herb said he wasn't trying to fool anybody back then as to not being a group that really was south of the border, as a young kid i certainly fell for it. not only was herb thee sound of the sixties, you can hear his influence right up to the present.
