[@BiffGreggle]

Absolute stroke of genius getting Herb Alpert--who was a brilliant instrumentalist but not an experienced singer--to perform this. A professional singer might have made it too slick and impersonal, but Alpert just sounds like a regular guy pouring his heart out to his girl, and that's what makes it feel so personal.

Herb Alpert didn't always sing, but when he did, it was magic.

[@AndrewAshton-d2h]

True magic

[@pippadawg7037]

The magic was choosing him to sing this particular song even if he wasn't really known as much of a singer. His untrained voice and lack of technical skill imparts the song with naiveté, and raw vulnerability. It raises the stakes and the emotional intensity of the song's plea.

In June of 1968 I met a girl named Jeanette, on our first date this is the first song we heard together. On July 7th. I reported for the draft. On December 9th. 1968 I arrived in RVN and was assigned to a unit as an infantryman. We wrote, she more than me, as I write when I could. I somehow managed to make it through that period my life. We wrote more often. I got out of the service on July 7th. 1970. We dated again. On May 1st. 1971 that girl and I married and danced to this tune at our wedding. To this day I am the luckiest guy in the world and this is still a great tune....peace

[@larryward569]

@@mariocisneros911 so what’s your point? Millions of weddings have taken place over the years and many have not been real because there are times when the love between the coupe is not equal or there’s no love at all. It happens a lot. I’ve been there myself only to find out 4 years later she never really loved me and she left me without warning for someone else. She’s now on her 5th marriage. Bad choice for me but after all she was a good actress. And I’m not alone in that and it can happen to anyone. I remarried and I now know very well what real love is. All in a way of saying it’s important to know that love is the real deal before you get married. Herb and Lani’s love for one another is a real testimony of love that’s real and it has lasted for many years and probably after one of them passes. My mom is 98 and after my dad passed in 2013 mom has always said there will never be any other. That’s love, and that’s real.

And the one missed the most. There are times my heart and soul ache just wanting to see her laugh again... or just to hear her voice. This song brought back the memory of that day. It is a good song.

Yes, Herb wanted a song for a show he was going to be in. Since he basically only had instrumental hits he decided to ask a good friend of his to write him a song for the show.

Wow, took me right back. We married in 1963. This, and other Burt Bacharach tunes were so much part of our early life.No TV in those days but a cheap record player. Sadly, my darling wife passed 6 years ago, but this song has bought it all back.

[@tinydancer62]

Trev, I would take a cheap record player and a good book over a TV any day. I have 4 turntables. You and your dear wife had your priorities straight. My condolences on your loss.

[@alanwilson2073]

10/27/2021. 63 now and my dad passed away a long time ago but riding in my dads car, coming back at night from dinner or a bar, listening to this on some AM Radio station (didn't have FM yet) my dad would turn this song up a little and start singing along as best he could. I was too young to know or understand what the song was about but hearing it today makes me understand why my dad loved this song so much. My dad was a Chief in the Navy, we had already landed on the moon and although we weren't rich, we still had as much or more than most people. Vietnam was still in full swing and I faced an uncertain future as to what to do with my own life, hell I was still hugging my teddy bear. But the music of my childhood, I can always come on here at YT and go back to a time I thought would never end. My dad looked so good in his uniform, he was SO HANDSOME and ALL THE LADIES LOVED HIM. I take after my dad. The ladies love me too. And I still hug my teddy bears.

Wow, I despised the 1970's. My father lost his job in Brunswick Corporation, when it moved out of Massachusetts to Chicago, he got drunk a lot, I had panic attacks so much I needed a babysitter instead of being a babysitter like most adolescent girls my age then were. My friends were outgrowing me, the economy sucked, inflation and recession running wild, gas prices going up, speed limits going down from 65 to 55 mph on highways... Any time I go through a section of highway that's 55 mph, I curse the sign, the 1970's, and thank God that decade is Gone! See a 65 mph speed limit sign and I'm thankful the GOOD Days came back a little. The only good thing in my life in the 1970's was finally getting the hell out of Sherborn MA and moving to a place as rural and beautiful as I longed to be in as Sherborn grew too much. I want nothing to do with any 1970's return.

Herb Alpert has done more for other Musicians than many other people know .His talent is beyond our comprehension. I think it's really time to give him his due recognition as one of the most gifted musical artists of the Twentieth Century. He's also done more for the Latin Movement in American Music than many of us can realize . He brought us into the future where Jazz, Latin and Pop are part of the fabric of American Culture .
