Brass at its finest. Herb is now 88 and I had the privilege of seeing him on tour here on Vancouver Island. It was the first stop on his 2023 Canada wide tour featuring his wife on vocals. He has still got his chops and put on a first rate show.

Same here. I was 10yrs old. My Uncle Jimmy & Aunt Linda had it. They played it on their HUGE Magnavox console stereo!

Wonder how many people listening know that Herb Alpert is the A in A&M Records.

Maybe the second greatest pop instrumental?  "Walk Don't Run" comes first.  What else am I missing?

I think I made this comment under Dave Brubeck's   'Take Five':

Of all my parents records, I remember four:

Tom Lehrer for the comedy (much of which I didn't get at the time).
Take Five for the music.
Mart Robbins for the lyrics.
Whipped Cream.. for the cover.

In Italy, this was the soundtrack of the most-watched show recapping Sunday's soccer (football?) games. Back then, soccer was on Sunday only. Good old days.

Very good memories!

Herb's attack is so distinctive - incredibly crisp. Sharp enough to shave with.

I don't know if it's true, but I heard he could walk up to a trumpet suspended on a wire, hands behind his back, and hit 'C' above the staff. Crazy.

Love this!

A model named Delores Erickson. She was three months pregnant during the photo shoot. And spoiler alert, it's shaving cream, not whipped cream. Whipped cream wouldn't hold up under the studio lights. And she's not naked. Has on a strapless bikini. Could never match my sweet imagination. Everything looks worse in black and white.

Great upbeat tune for a cold wet upstateNY morning. Dreaming of sun and sand, perhaps a margarita. Also, like others, thinking of 1960’s groups... Seeing Herb & Co on Ed Sullivan. Memories.

Wow, what a blast from the past! I owned every Herb Alpert & TTB album. I decided to play trumpet because of this band. I went on to become an internationally recognized musician because of this band. Well, everything is true except for that last part. Still, I loved this band!

Haven't heard Herb and the Brass for many years.  According to the website the last time you played this track was many years ago.

Please make sure it gets into the rotation a little more often.

Must be something about being born in '62 then. I was also and I think your definition of The Dead is spot on. I'll take Herb any time.

I also remember hearing this song, but with a little less fond memories. Every time I have heard this song was either in the grocery store or in an elevator. Never thought that RP would play MUSAK !!!!! :P I think appreciation of this crap is generational. I was born in 1969, and my friends and I spent our youths making fun of music like this. That being said, we also grew up wondering where the golden age of rock went (Cream, Dead, classic Stones, Traffic, etc.— love that music, and still do). It was then that we discovered "alternative rock" that was being played on college radio. Too bad all those "alternative rock" stations went corporate.

I was born in 1969, and I love this and many other Herb tunes. Your argument that appreciation for this style of music is generational may be flawed, but then again, my 77-year-old father-in-law is a big Herb fan, so maybe there is some truth to that after all!
