Herb Alpert
Herbert "Herb" Alpert (born March 31, 1935) is an American musician most associated with the group variously known as Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass, or TJB. Alpert is also a recording industry executive, the "A" of A&M Records, a recording label he and business partner Jerry Moss founded and eventually sold to PolyGram. Alpert has also created abstract expressionist paintings and sculpture over two decades, which are publicly displayed on occasion. Alpert and wife Lani Hall are substantial philanthropists through the operation of the Herb Alpert Foundation.
Alpert's musical accomplishments include five No. 1 albums and 28 albums total on the Billboard Album chart, nine Grammy Awards, fourteen platinum albums, and fifteen gold albums. As of 1996, Alpert had sold 72 million albums worldwide. Alpert is the only recording artist to hit No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 pop chart as both a vocalist ("This Guy's in Love with You", 1968) and an instrumentalist ("Rise", 1979).

Famous quotes by Herb Alpert:
"This special event at Vibrato brought together many people sharing a common bond - a love of jazz and a desire to support its future, ... It gave them the opportunity to indulge in both passions - to celebrate the great artistry of Dave Brubeck, and to support the Brubeck Institute, a program at the University of the Pacific which, through its Fellowship Program and Summer Jazz Colony, serves to train and nurture the next generation of great jazz artists and innovators."
"There was a certain naturalness that was happening in the '60s and '70s that felt more like a happening, ... Production wasn't as clean and neat as I'm hearing these days. They're not perfect, but they have an honest feeling, which is what I was going for."
"Is there an audience for it? I don't know. I don't think it's the audience who bought it originally. But there's a younger audience that might appreciate it. These are good songs."
"My first instinct was not to do it. I didn't want to trample on ( Whipped Cream )."
"It's certainly an honor. When I got the call I didn't sure how to react, to tell you the truth. It wasn't until my wife's gynecologist called and congratulated me that I figured we were onto something."
"I haven't seen this many people since I played bar mitzvahs years ago."
"It's powerful. 'Whipped Cream' happened 40 years ago. It still resonates with people."
"Unfortunately, what they're playing on the radio now is not really fair to a lot of great musicians that are out there struggling to be heard."
"Mexican Shuffle was a turning point of the Brass."
"This was during a period when I was producing Brazil '66 records and got infected by Brazilian music."
"Although there was a point with the Tijuana Brass where we were playing for such huge crowds that I kind of lost contact. At one point, the only connection I had with the audience was with people out there lighting cigarettes."
"I like to listed to the adventurous guys - the Coltranes, Miles Davis, the guys who just let it loose."
"Selfishly, I make music for me. I like to make music. I like looking for songs. I like working with interesting musicians. I like producing records. It's something I will always do."
"I find that it's nice to work with somebody and spin off on someone else's feelings. You get a little jaded by yourself."
"The trumpet was not a lyrical singing instrument."
"Clifford Brown was in the jazz circles considered to be probably the greatest trumpet player who ever lived."
"We finally got our big break when Ed Sullivan put us on his show."
"The reaction to this album has just been fabulous around the world... and I've had offers to perform from around the world and I'm tempted to do it. I've got itchy lips."
"If you look at a record under a microscope, the high frequencies are short jagged edges... and the low frequencies are long swinging ones are deep bass sounds. When it cut it at half speed, you're getting more of those on the record."
"It's - as opposed to tape where you have a magnetic tape that's excited by frequencies that you hit, digital was a process where musical sounds are transferred to numbers and stored as numbers."

El Presidente
by: Herb AlpertYou see this guy, this guy's in love with you
Yes I'm in love who looks at you the way I do
When you smile I can tell it know each other very
well
How can I show you I'm glad I got to know you 'cause
I've heard some talk they say you think I'm fine
This guy's in love and what I'd do to make you mine
Tell me now is it so don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shakin' don't let my heart keep breaking
'cause
I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love and you'll be my guy, if not I'll
just die
Tell me now is it so don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shakin' don't let my heart keep breaking
'cause
I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love and you'll be my girl, if not I'll
