Happy Birthday to Herb Alpert!

[AlwaysWrite]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Herb Alpert, born 83 years ago today (March 31) in Los Angeles. He was playing trumpet by age 8, and the famed bandleader-producer-singer charted 19 Billboard Top 40 hits, including this one ("This Guy's In Love With You") as a solo artist, which went to No. 1 in 1968 ...

IN MY MOMS EYES, DEAN MARTIN WAS #1 AND HERB WAS #2. SHE COULD LISTEN TO THOSE 2 GUYS ALL DAY. HBD HERB AND THANX!

... and here's my personal favorite, among all of the Tijuana Brass instrumentals: "Flamingo" from the summer of 1966 ...

I liked Herb and the Tijuana Brass, but I was always a bigger fan of Chuck Mangione.
