Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass (Hollywood Palace) "Tijuana Taxi" 1966 [HD-Remastered TV Audio]

Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass were very popular in the 1960's. I grew up listening to their music. I just did some Billboard research...They started performing around 1962. From 1965 to 1968, every song they released charted, 22-plus songs. This one, "Tijuana Taxi" charted #9 on Billboard's AC Chart. The song was written in 1965 by Ervan Coleman.

These guys came to Vietnam way back in the summer of 1969 to serenade part of the 3rd Marine Division. I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman with Mike 3/9 at the time. These guys played their hearts out for us, and for a couple hours, we felt human again. Thank you, gentlemen.

[@diddlebug7241]

Back in 1963 I actually rode in a Tijuana Taxi. That was a unique experience, to say the least. I have never forgotten that ride or this musical number.

[@stanleydenning]

I was born in 1961. When I got into Highschool, I joined the Highschool band. I learned how to play the trumpet and cornet. Herb Albert was my hero.

[@tommurphy4307]

bert still looks great

[@petersrightbut8297]

When i was young ,Every Saturday morning my dad would blast Herb Albert through the house.. whether we liked it or not.

[@johnnyraider]

My crazy old, AKA SKINHEAD would blast Johnny Cash on Sunday am to git us up for church. Way to go ,SKINHEAD !!!!!!!

[@lilimarlene7813]

Eighty six year old Herb Alpert is still touring and performing. Last year he released an anthology of his music. I was a fangirl in the sixties. Still a fangirl. 💋

[@ApartmentKing66]

YES! It's SO good to see him and Lani still at it and keeping busy!

[@robertray4191]

WoW!

[@RoeserFan1]

I hope he goes on forever. Such a wonderful musician, person, and symbol of a simpler, bygone era.

[@johnmarlin7269]

Yes, I saw Lani and him perform in 2019. What a great entertainer -- best line of the night: "84 is the new 83." Long may he run.

[@normal_media]

He'll be in Annapolis in July. pretty cool.

[@brittanythomas2239]

God, I love it. The 60's were so much fun.

[@anthonymongelli5567]

Great musician and band leader Tijuana Brass 👏🎶👍🏼🎶😎

[@melissademarco5271]

This renaissance man was the real deal and had it all, the whole package as they say. Played multiple instruments, read music, composed, arranged, founded a multimillion dollar recording business (A & M) and my goodness was he good looking. Wow, they certainly don't make them like that anymore ! 😪

[@msr1116]

Herb reminds me here of Robert Conrad's Jim West look on the Wild Wild West in the mid 1960s.

[@frankciborski835]

Not only a great string of hits but a sound that is so associated with that era.

[@michaelotten2724]

Timeless music tho.

[@artanderson4240]

I probably saw thus very show back in '66 as a 20 yr old on ABC in St. Louis, MO. 65 now. Time has flown. The great Herb Alpert.

[@Brissieskater1]

This tune musically describes the daily commute in the mornings on the M1 & M3 in Brisbane, Australia.

[@berniemcfadden7760]

Omg I just flashed back more then 50 yrs, when I was 10yrs old at the Jersey shore this song was heard everywhere! Sweet memories

[@ABfromWindsor]

Love listening to these instrumentals from the past and wish that there was more of it now a days.😊👍👍

[@daniellaubach8412]

Oh wow! I remember this tv show from.way back then. Herb Alpert & his band were a smashing success thru the mid 60's. My late aunt had alot of his albums for me to listen to on her stereo now at age 63 still love his music 🎵!!

One of my earliest memories was hearing this song from his TV show while I was in my room going to bed.

[@kenfloyd6066]

This man and this song are why I wanted to take up trumpet in jr hi-school. wasn’t really any good at it but it was fun! 49 years ago and I still love this stuff

[@frankburau2517]

Bought his records and bought a trumpet and would practice looking at the mirror. Herb Alpert was an idol on my young days.

[@stevewilliams6085]

Herb Alpert is one of the greatest musicians and entertainers of all time, right next to Louis Armstrong and Michael Jackson. As a matter of fact as the only person to have both a vocal and instrumental #1 song makes him even more performer for all time, and to think his first recordings he did solo, played every instrument in the studio then had to get the Tijuana brass when it took off.

[@e.a.corral4713]

OWNED A&M RECORDS. DISCOVERED SO MAMY ARTISTS OVER THE TIME HE OWNED THE COMPANY.

[@eddiemethot8925]

Michael Jackson?? Herb can read and write music plus play the trumpet,sorry,the moonwalk and syncro-dancing doesn't qualify.

[@robertchesnosky3508]

[@crithappenstfa7749]

Well said, thought about that for little

[@moviemonster2083]

What happened to fun music like this? It was also a wonderful example of good performance art, and isn't that what every performance should be? If this and Popular Brazilian Music were the only types of music available, I would still be satisfied.

[@christopherjones8517]

I play the horn because of Herb!

[@erlendgerhard4905]

Trying to study, but this song is on repeat in my head. One of the upsides of technology is that the coming generations will be able to discover such talented and wonderful musicians

[@fearlessfosdick160]

I recognized both songs within the first few notes. They entered with The Lonely Bull before breaking into a compete performance of Tijuana Taxi. Funny how some things stick with you over the decades. This guy and his band were an entertainment phenomenon in the mid to late 60's.

[@gabryael7169]

And he still recorded several albums in the decades that followed...

The beginning, they were playing "The Lonely Bull " - I've heard their music many times since the 1960s. We even recorded on a reel tape a TV special they did. "Lollipops and Roses " is my all-time favorite.

In addition to his impressive load of musical talent, this man had charisma and style and came off as 100% classy. My mother was a fan of his band; she must have played the eight track of _Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass, Volume 2_ dozens of times while ironing and sewing and painting.

I enjoy the music and despise the obligatory dancing girls. I saw this band perform at the Carter Barron Amphitheater during their heyday. Herb Alpert put on a marvelous, tight, and generous show -- several encores -- and no dancing girls. It was great. We should not forget that Mr. Alpert is the "A" in the A&M records -- another aspect of an awesome musician.

[@buckyoung4578]

Absolutely LOVE the dancing girls. All the albums were done by studio musicians like Glenn Campbell before he became a solo. They had to get a bunch of musicians and teach them the songs after the songs were cut and released.

Almost everything that was televised back then was synched. The legendary debut of the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show was totally synched. One obvious clue was that the guitars weren't connected to any amps--nor were there any amps on the set. Even more obvious---no microphones in front of Paul and John.
