Herb Alpert - Rise (HQ Audio)

"Rise" is a song written by Andy Armer and Randy Badazz Alpert, and first recorded by trumpeter Herb Alpert. The instrumental track was included on Alpert's solo album Rise and released as a single in 1979. It reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in October of that year and remained in the top position for two weeks. Herb Alpert thus became the first (and only) artist to reach the top of the Hot 100 with a vocal performance ("This Guy's in Love with You", 1968) as well as an instrumental performance. "Rise" also spent one week atop the adult contemporary chart. "Rise" was successful on the other charts: It peaked at number four on the soul chart, and number seventeen on the disco chart.The recording also received a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.

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.

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

This song is a part of what also makes classic Hip-Hop music so great. Had it not been for Hypnotize by the Notorious BIG containing a sample of this song I probably never would've found this amazing piece of work.

The irony. A few years ago Herb Albert read that they had closed down a school of music in Harlem due to financial problems. Herb Albert donated 500k to the school. And they were able to reopen!

I've played the trumpet 55 years and while there are many great trumpet players who display great range and technique, but when it comes to trumpet style no one comes close to Herb Alpert! His music is happy and relaxing, it takes you away from this complex world. Herb was my main influence and inspiration when I first picked up the trumpet in 1964! Thank you Herb for all your wonderful music and terrific style!🎺🎵🎶

[@stephenromey6348]

I started playing trumpet in 1968 and yes, Herb was one of my great inspirations. I had many of his TJB records. I also had the sheet music to the 'Beat of the Brass' Album. I remember playing 'This Guy is in Love with You'. I played the trumpet part and my music teacher played the accompanying piano part. Great memories! 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). Well, now I can afford many of them, so if I ever play again, yes it will be a Bach Strat!
