Herb Alpert is... One of the greatest, most generous human beings that has ever lived. Happy 89th, Mr. Alpert.

A great artist has died. Mendes died on September 5, 2024, at the age of 83, in a hospital in Los Angeles. He was surrounded by his wife and longtime musical collaborator, Gracinha Leporace. His death was attributed to complications related to Long COVID. May his memory be a blessing.

A very sad new. He was an excellent musician and best person. I enjoyed his music for more than fifty years. Rest in peace.

I am from Denmark and in my sixties. I, too, grew up with the music of Mendez and Alpert. My parents loved them and I still have their records.

[@greenleavesofsummer9673]

What a great dimension this man, Mendes, gave us all in his music and music arrangements of other songs!! He made songs way better! The very best as is also Herb Alpert!! Both top of the mountain! We all still play all their music! Sorry to lose Sergio!

I was at that concert on the Embarcadero waterfront, too... beautiful music, great evening under the stars! 🤗

[@morriselliott7004]

As a 14 year old black kid stuck in someplace called Moses Lake, Washington while my dad was in Vietnam I was rocking Jimi Hendrix and James Brown and Joplin and all the music the 60s was exploding with and one day I came across Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66 on the local AM station and became obsessed with their sound. I tore up downtown stores until I found their album and wore it out. I never lost my love for them or music that featured the rythmns of Brazil especialy during the 70s Jazz fusion era

[@victorwadsworth821]

I listened to the Brass back in the 60's, it was the coolest sound.

[@pocopico7409]

With utmost respect to Sergio Mendes and the men in Brasil ‘66, I think it was mainly those girls that made them so outrageously popular. The combination of their beauty, their voices, those dresses and their dancing was the WOW factor! People were mesmerized watching them…and then Lani’s voice! WOW! 😍 Of course, Sergio was smart enough to CHOOSE the girls and the music, so it never would’ve happened without him! When I think that, without Sergio, the world may have never seen or heard of Lani Hall, I’m so glad things worked out like they did. Thank you, Sergio…and thank you, Lord! The world was very lucky they all came together as they did. And now we know…the REST of the story! 😏😃

Thanks Herb channel for sharing that great moment. Takes me right back to being a little kid in the 60s -- I bet I watched Hollywood Palace that night because I was probably one of the greatest preschool fans the TJB had in '67. This is an unforgettable song as well that has always moved me emotionally. I ask blessings on Sergio, Herb and Lani and anybody else on that stage still with us.

[@stevevrismo9842]

This song. This song... Mr. Mendes' brilliant fingers on the keyboard -- his bringing of the gorgeous Brazilian rhythms -- Lani Hall's exquisitely haunting voice. All that, plus all the little nuts and bolts and musical cookie crumbs have been a permanent part of my life since I first heard it in 1967. It carries me away, and it gives me goosebumps. Occasionally, Miss Hall's soaring solo brings me to happy tears. Real magic must have taken place during the creation of this recording at A&M's studios all those years ago. I honestly doubt that that singular group of musicians ever surpassed the heights achieved in just this one song. Thank you Sergio, thank you Lani, thank you Herb and Jerry, and thanks to the rest of the musical ensemble. You will never know the times that you have gotten me through -- you are all a part of my DNA.

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

Great... love it. Love to be a 12 yr old boy, back in 1967. Beautiful music.

Herb Alpert was a smooth operator. I always love to hear him play effortlessly.

[@BCE-111]

In 1967, when this performance happened, I was a freshman in college. And my favorite group was Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66. And I went to see them play at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. A memorable evening. They were great. You can do the math as far as how old I am, and how old they are too. :) Always loved them. Bought all their albums along the way. Lani Hall here, who's always had an unbelievably great voice, became Herb Alpert's wife in 1974. And one of the first albums we bought a year earlier was !!Going Places!! by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Number one album on the Billboard Pop Albums (Billboard 200). Always loved their music too.

Herb Alpert is a legend both in talent and how he handled his record label company. I haven't met him in person but his amazing personality radiates in films and videos.

I never had the opportunity in the 60s as a youngster, to see Sergio and this group.

Sono cresciuto ascoltando questi artisti d'alto livello, ho scoperto adesso leggendo i commenti, che il grande Sergio Mendes è deceduto che riposi in pace e faccio tanti auguri a Herb Alpert, quanti bellissimi momenti passati ad ascoltare la vostra musica con mio padre, mentre si viaggiava in auto con la mitica Citroen Ds, ricordi indelebili di un bambino felice e fortunato ad avere un padre con gusti musicali raffinati. Grazie di cuore Herb per avermi accompagnato in tutti questi anni, tra l'altro sei stato anche il primo produttore di un grande musicista di nome Gino Vannelli che ascolto da 50 anni. Ti mando un saluto speciale dal lago maggiore Italia ciao grandissimo artista.

While the men seem quite likeable and of course both very famous, it is the female singers here that are the focus of this performance and make the song what it is, fabulous. Someone mentioned one of their names in the comments, glad for that, but it’s tragic how so many women’s contributions and artistry are simply ignored, true in the 60s and today in less obvious ways. Great song.

HA and SM. Two great musicians each with their own highly distinctive sound originating in Mexico and Brasil respectively. Wonderful. As a musically aware youngster of around 8 years old in the mid 1960s I first became aware of the Sergio Mendes sound and without being able to put it into words at the time it sounded impossibly sophisticated .... music for adults in a world far ahead of me. Now when I hear the Brasil 66 gentle, laid back " sound" it evokes nostalgia.
