Herb Alpert - Rise (HQ Audio)

[@paisleyprincess7996]

The most favorite memory of my mother was when my mother, my sisters, and myself were dancing to this song back in the summer of 79. For the first five years of my life my mother was a drug addict, and she had a bad overdose that year. The county almost took us away from her, and the only way she could get us back was if she got clean. She came home, and we turned on the radio...She heard this song, grabbed us, and started dancing. That was the happiest I ever saw her, and there were few times she was happy, but she was so glad to be with us. My mother stayed clean for us, and she never used again. But this song will always be special

Back in 1980 I put on this song for my 85-year old grandmother, who was raised on a farm in Czechoslovakia. Didn't speak much English, and never listened to music. When the intro started, she perked up and proclaimed, "It makes me want to dance." So, we did! Thanks, Mr. Alpert.

I knew a guy who worked at an AM radio station, WLKK AM 1400, here in Erie, Pennsylvania. I worked as a producer during the same time as a weekend producer. This wonderful tune was selected to be his intro music when he came on the air at 6 am every morning. At 6 bells, I would hear NBC chimes, NBC radio news, then the air would be filled with this song and it was epic. It left a lasting memory from a time when I was involved with a great radio station and the people who worked within it.

I played through high school then switched to sports in college. The allure of the soccer pitch was too much. I have thought about picking up a horn and playing again. I use to always want a Bach Strat but could not afford one in high school (they were a boat load in 70's dollars).
