Herb Alpert & TJB Getting Sentimental Over You Video 1967

Here's a beautiful clip of Part One of the Aragon Club Scene from the 1967 Singer Show. The tune is "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You from the Album "Going Places". Enjoy.
P.S. I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to see Herb and Lani play at Blues Alley in Georgetown Washington DC 12 May 2008. The show was absolutely spectacular. After all these years, they both still have it: the skills and the love. Truly a remarkable show. Herb and Lani, thanks to all of the wonderful years of warming our hearts with your great art work. You both are truly blessed as well as I was at your show.

Fantastic song from a fantastic album. Herb had an unbelievable talent for an arrangement. To me he was a genius, and I'm still listening to him. There has never been a preformer and musician who can hold a candle to him.

I'm getting sentimental over the 60's when I listen to this music...i was only 10 in 1967 but this music brings back so many lovely memories. My Dad was a professional photographer and he would take me on some of his day trips. We always took Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Band music with us... Boy do I miss him.

MrsClippit one fine day we will have a reunion in heaven. The best is yet to come!

Awesome video of one of my favorite songs. I love the slow version as he's walking to the gig. So cool!!

[@dj99surf]

I forgot how much i liked the TJB's "Going Places" album. Thx for posting.

[@dancalestini9850]

My parents played this back in 60s that's why I'm still hooked today

[@michaelquinones-lx6ks]

You like the oldies?! 😀👍

[@guitarsrmine]

I love this arrangement,plus a gat trombone solo by Bob Edmenson. There's nothing around today that compares to Herb Alpert and the TJB. Priceless AND timeless-I still listen to them today!!!

[@Mazzyb63]

Thanks so much for posting this, my parents had the Going Places LP and it was my favourite as a child, I still have it. And seeing this video adds a whole new level of enjoyment, wish I was born earlier than 63!

I played the slow Trombone version of this in Stage Band in the 1970s. What I love here is not just the update to a modern jazz style, but the way Alpert takes it full Dixieland by the very end. A masterpiece. I am enjoying rediscovering Herb Alpert. Look at his wiki page, he's a wonderful human being. And if you need cheering up, put on his Tijuana Taxi, a song so ridiculously cheerful and bouncy that I sometimes laugh with happiness listening to it.

Herb knew his audience. The Greatest Generation was approaching middle age, Boomers were teenagers. Take a huge big band hit top it with brass and electric instruments on the ridim' section plus a great arrangment. Big hit. good stuff.

[@rayopezzo4052]

Saw the TJB play Detroit at Cobo Hall in 1965, those guys were virtuoso musicians! What a memorable show as a teenager to witness Herb and company at the height of their popularity.

Because my dad loved me enough to buy me a boxed set of LP's called "The Swing Years" in 1966, at the height of my obsession with the Animals, Paul Revere and the Raiders, etc., I was exposed to a lot of classic bigband stuff at a young age. As a result, having heard the original performances, I got my first arranging lessons when I was shown by TJB that you could "do things" to tunes: "Flamingo" is an example, and so is this tune. I saw this footage as broadcast, and have never forgotten it.

[@schulzmark3]

GREAT!! I love Herb Alpert music.. Thanks for terrific cool video!

[@jbdoggy]

I jus love the echoey effects added to the tune played at the beginning of the clip. Really gives a very nostalgic feel to the whole thing before it makes way for the jazzy and very lively version by Herb & co. The slower & nostalgic version & the crooners who sang it makes me want to sitback, relax & think of my love whilst Herb's version makes me want to get up and dance! Essentially the same tune but 2 completely different effects!

[@excelsciors]

I loved Herb & the TJB as a kid in the 60's & 70's. It was a let down for me when I learned these video's were lip synced! Still cool to see these video's!

[@JuneLynn]

Love this, one of my favorites from Herb Alpert and TJB

[@lc2748]

GORGEOUS 😢

[@Mod60s]

Wow, this really strikes close to home. There was a very popular balllroom here in hou, tx called The Aragon. Ist I worship Herb Alpert and the 40's swing era, double fun!

[@posturex1]

that is fantastic , i used to listen to herb when i was 4

[@aftermathstudioproductions2230]

The days of wine and roses, and rotator cuff injuries.

[@QBCNetwork]

IT'S GREAT!

[@TomDaly943]

The first couple of bars are played in the style of the original artist, Tommy Dorsey. This was his theme song in the Forties.

[@willardlockejr]

@guitarsrmine ME TOO! The music is still timeless.

[@orlandocavalieri7265]

Me gusta mucho este tema tengo 78 años y lo escucho hace muchos años me gustan por ese intetprete

[@veraluciajesusgomes6600]

Herb Alpert será sempre eternizado...um mitobfo trompete

[@veraluciajesusgomes6600]

Quero dizer um mito do trompete

[@treadhead105]

Beautiful ;)

[@ednamariagomesrosendo2285]

O HERBERT, ALÉM DE LINDO É MTO COMPETENTE!

[@ApartmentKing66]

Happy Birthday, Herb!! 76 tomorrow (March 31, 2011)

[@janosdertrompeter998]

Thanks to George Bassmann and Ned Washington for this song and lyrics!

[@veraluciajesusgomes6600]

Eu na época tinha a idade dele 30 e poucos anos...um mito

[@veraluciajesusgomes6600]

Que espetáculo de música...linda demais 👏

[@jrandall6]

what a sweet trombone intro. I wonder if it's Bob Edmondson or a recording of Tommy Dorsey (whose name is seen on a poster on the wall). Probably Bob. He's great.

[@timblessing2815]

The opening solo is Dorsey, The second solo was *probably* not Edmondson but someone from the Wrecking Crew or another session player. This was pre-recorded. If you watch Alpert, he, takes breaths when he shouldn't so he wasn't playing.

[@michaelquinones-lx6ks]

You all got to remember that the Thirties to the Sixties a mere thirty years, In short, At that time it was considered recent history.

[@jrandall6]

Gorgeous trombone at the beginning - I wonder if it was Bob Edmondson. He was such a solid sideman.

[@ApartmentKing66]

@jrandall6 Sounds like the original cut from Tommy Dorsey.

[@TheEldoradoKid]

So what happened to the Aragon Ballroom? Did they tear it down like so many other historical landmarks or is it still around and in use? Yes.. of course it had it's glory days before and during WW2 with the classic big bands, but what has happened since the TJB put this video together?

[@thalitagoes9651]

(Aqui Beth Góes) Liindoo!!

[@martinkurtz9269]

Im wondering if this was actually performed at the Aragon ballroom itself or was this done at the NBC studios with a recreation of the Aragon interior?

[@pacz8114]

Well, gee whiz! Bob Edmondson -- who was 1000X better than Alpert across the board -- doesn't even get seen when he takes his fine solo.

[@ranhar1]

The Aragon was destroyed by fire on May 27, 1970, a blaze which was deliberately set.
