such an amazing man, musician and an ear like nobody else...after all, he discovered the carpenters

The diversity of Music in the 1960's is astounding.

[@jubalcalif9100]

As I do when I take off my hat, you make a good point !!

[@cynthiasmith4130]

It's just stunning!!! Love all of his music.... Just lovely...❤❤❤....

[@td1138]

Lani Hall did all that wonderful Brazilian music with Brasil 66 phonetically. She could not speak a word of Portuguese but you’d never know it from her singing.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Indubitably !

[@jimsmith9301]

GOD helps the world of us who are HIS to sing in perfect harmony! Thank YOU FATHER! How we love THEE!! Yes SIREE.

[@ericswanson9778]

I know how it is. Even when I play and sing La Bamba, and many other songs in different languages, it comes out perfectly. But, I haven’t a clue to the meaning of the words. Lani always did a great job. I’m so glad that she hooked up with Herb.

[@tmp1111]

Wow! I had no idea

[@msr1116]

Upon first hearing Portuguese it was not at all what I expected. The written language appears to be a bit of French, Spanish and Italian mixed together but why I assumed it would sound much closer to Spanish I just can't explain.

[@AvalonAnn66]

Him talking about our beloved Karen Carpenter brought a tear to my eye. I have been a Carpenter fan my entire 57 years of life. Herb was instrumental in their success.

[@jimsmith9301]

@Avalon. I'm 69 and have loved Karen too since I first heard her. My voice teacher in the 70s had me sing songs made famous by female artists even though Im a man to increase my range and the Carpenters were one of my favorites to practice! Even at 69 GOD has blessed me to still be able to sing pretty good, especially for an old dude! I can still sing a good "Superstar" and "We've only just begun". I actually sang that at my wedding when I was 22. Memories!! Thank YOU FATHER for everything!! Amen! Love and blessings to all my brothers and sisters in Christ!! Halleluyah! Jim

Herb is a true American treasure.Thank you Herb for enriching all of our lives.

[@harper_anne2089]

Agreed. Herb had a heart of gold.

[@msr1116]

Karen's death at 32 was enough of a shocker until the cause leading up her demise became known. Anorexia was not known to the general public at that time---only in medical circles. An eating disorder wasn't anything the average person would think of when seeing a super slim woman---it was just assumed she had some sort of medical issue where she couldn't keep food down due to chemo, had a very high metabolism or was hospitalized for a while. A family member had IBS and could never gain weight in his youth, he was always noticeably too thin for his height and frame. These days, people would wonder about him being either anorexic or HIV positive.

Keep blowing that piece of “plumbing.” We love ❤️ Herb and Lani.

I was a senior in high school having brunch in the 1960s with my mother at Daly's Dandelion on Third Avenue and 61st Street. In the background was Herb Alpert's "This Guy's In Love With You". Heaveny...

The awesome & amazing Mr. Alpert is still going strong these days at 88 ! He & his wife Lani have such a wonderfully inspirationally happy marriage. Bless their hearts ! They're incredibly multi-talented & extremely generous to a wide variety of causes. Thanks for sharing this marvelous CBS Sunday Morning segment.

[@chrispeterson6135]

Herb Alpert is a great man. My parents and grandparents had his albums and his music changed my life in such a positive way. He is a class act!

[@LAwoman1956]

My parents introduced me to this music when I was young. And I never stopped listening! Their collections included Sergio Mendez & Brazil '66, Trini Lopez and Jose Feliciano with Herbs records too and so much more. The best!!!! I have been obsessed for decades. I am a singer (it is my instrument) tried to play other instruments but wasn't my gift. Brings back the best memories.❤

[@mikerivers695]

Mr.Herb's a genuine supporter of the music arts.hope that he and Lani never quits in supporting the music arts.

[@fifermcgee5971]

What a talented human being Herb Alpert is, and what a beautiful generous man, keeping the music school in Harlem open. Thank you Herb for helping all these young people. Of course, Lani is in a class of her own, what a beautiful voice.

[@soniatriana9091]

A rare & gem to not only the music world & industry, but to humanity!! The world has been lucky by him!! A true gift that goes on into the future - forever!!

Thanks,Herb! Over 50 years of great music and philanthropy to generations of young musicians.

[@user-wv2bn2cb1i]

I grew up listening to H. A. . I listen to his music all the time. I call it my happy music. I can't be depressed when I hear his songs. Thanks Herb. We also grew up with Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66. I remember when their hit " Mas Que Nada" 1st came out. Lani Hall and the whole gang did some awesome records/songs and we also listen to their records to this day. Brings back wonderful memories of growing up.

I bought my first LP of his back around 1962.

I have always loved herb alpert. First heard "this guy's in love with you" back in 1968 when i was 6 yrs old. And i have loved lani hall since i heard her singning with sergio Mendez & brasil '66 around the same time. His trumpet playing and vocals and her melodic vocals make for a winning pair. They are also gentle souls. I'm Wishing them all the happiness they can handle!! Peace and love.🎶🎶🎶

Growing up I played countless hours of herb Albert ordered the book with every song with harmony in it.. Guess what?My trumpet started sounding really good.. tried to get anyone to play harmony with me. I loved playing that so much. Music teacher loved my sound but I should work more on my sight reading.. He was right. Oh well!!great memories.. Thanks Herb!!

After seeing this video clip it shows proof that when people reach out to others in a profound way that you forget races, and other negative things we see, and hear about. Music is indeed an art, and when you have common ground, the other stuff never comes to mind. We need more Herb, and Lani's in society. RISE!

[@dphotos007]

Hope other artists look at this man as an example. Rappers instead of throwing your money at night clubs and toys, help your local schools with their art programs. Herb has given 100,000,000 to charity. Wow that is wonderful, Herb and is wife are just beautiful.

[@robbes7rh]

What an incredible success story. As an instrumentalist, vocalist, band leader, arranger, composer, music industry executive, sculptor and now philanthropist...and to think it really couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy than Herb Alpert. Humble, compassionate and caring - he challenges the notion that you have to be hard nosed and callous to run a record label. His wife was the lead female vocalist with Sergio Mendes and Brazil ‘66 who got their big break when Herb Alpert signed them to A&M Records in 1966.

Good video. Been listening to Herb since I heard South of the Border. Seen in concert in 67 or 68. Between the Folk & Jazz festival in Newport,Ri. Only played for 45 minutes. It's raining asked the people in the audience to lower their umbrellas so the people the back could see they didn't. So he walked off the stage. After telling the audience they were the rudest people he every played for. I was watching all this in the city park. Where you can see the stage.

Best looking Jewish guy I've ever laid eyes on. I always thought he was Mexican all these years!! Always had a crush on him when I was a small child because my Mom had a lot of his albums when they came out in the 60's and I listened to them all the time, and even as a small child, I thought he was the most handsome man alive, besides Pernell Roberts, my other little girl crush.

Maynard Ferguson was a trumpet deity, but for aspiring young horn players in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s, I’d bet the farm it was HA that provided the greatest inspiration. Lots of us couldn't touch a double C, but Herb Alpert’s music was accessible. Something that could be achieved by mortals. Alpert’s financial largesse and benevolence to the musical arts burnishes his legacy even more. A life lived well, indeed🫶🎺
