It didn’t hurt at all that Herb Alpert looked so dishy at this point in his life when he recorded this beautiful Burt Bacharach classic. Great song, wonderful production. All the planets aligned just right for this song.
When I was in 6th grade, I listened to my 45 of this constantly, and had a huge crush on Mr. Alpert! And Going Places was the first record album I ever purchased!😉🙏❤️
I had that same childhood. There was at least one of their albums in our house [I think Herb was in an old airplane on the cover]. Our stereo was a piece of furniture and had great sound.
I was around 14-15 yrs old growing up with Herb Alpert, Burt Bacharach, Sergio Mendes to name a few of course with others like Beatles, Stones, Who, Eagles etc. But Herb, Burt and Sergio will always have that special place in my heart.
I was 14/15 and my Dad had all these albums…..he loved reading the paper after dinner and listening to them. They had just bought a stereo…..it looked like a piece of furniture!
Oh my goodness you are so very right Burt, Sergio, herb, happy vibes and dancing wonderful memories from My childhood I am 64 years old and beautiful songs make me tingle within my soul ma so very happy thank you all of these great artists sharing their gift with me ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤️
Like yesterday. I was ape ____. Over my Junior Prom date May of 68 the same month that song was released. It added to the intensity of my summer crush.
This song was #1 on the day I was born June 24, 1968....I will be 56 in a little over one month. Love Herb Alpert/Burt Bacharach arrangements. Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss co-founded A&M Records. One of their Superstar Couples....The Carpenters. Love this music!🎶❤
Living in beautiful Sydney, Australia in 1968. The Vietnam war was raging. Lots of young Americans and Australians. Beautiful, romantic times despite the tragedy of the war.
Fun facts: Alpert is the only artist to have a number 1 Billboard hit as both a vocalist, this song, and an instrumentalist, "Rise", 1979. He is an absolute genius
Memories of my yesteryear as a 4 year old and my mother holding me in her arms as her big right hand and my small right hand is clasp together as she waltz across the room listening to to this song on the transistor radio, pressure cooker steaming as the aroma of the split peas fill the air .
My wife and I were just married and shared a tatami room at a Japanese Restaurant in Century City. When he and his wife found out we were newlyweds, they went way out of their way to be cordial and inclusive. Class act…and of course we became lifelong fans.
I wondered if one of the reasons this song was a #1 hit in June of 1968 is because Herb Alpert is a good-looking guy. I'm sure it didn't hurt any and it is beautifully arranged and sung by Alpert. One of those songs that sticks in your head too.
One of the loveliest love songs ever penned and recorded-thanks to the talented trio of composer Burt Bacharach,lyricist Hal David and a pleasant surprise-sung as tender as can be by an instrumentalist and record mogul of the highest order-the incomparable Herb Alpert!!! This is one of the most timeless tracks ever to come out of the 1960’s!!!
2024 Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 USA 🇺🇸 One of the 1st albums I ever bought in the 60s. Ageless enduring music. Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass. THE BEST. CREME DE LA CREME. THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD MEMORIES ❤...😊
Never, ever saw him like this, nor knew that he did solos. He is certainly one of the finest huma beings that we have. He has poured a lot of money, etc., into music education in and around LA. A truly great man. He's 89. Apr. 26, 2024.
Am so grateful I was able to see Herb in concert a few years ago, during an outdoor concert in San Diego. It was a beautiful star lit night, with a sold out crowd enjoying all his major hits, including this one! One of my favorites was when the first few notes of "Rise" started... OMG... goosebumps! Great memories! 🤗
One great song , played by Herb Alpert , born and raised in LA , Boyle heights! Thanks for sharing, we need more music and songs like these in today’s World 🌎!!😊👍🏼
Herb was so good looking, so talented. And this song, and others he did, take me right back to the 60s, a wonderful time which we will never see again and which was so special. I'm so glad I was born in 1955
This beautiful song came out in the 60s for me and my husband newlyweds. I'm more interested in music than he is, so I have loved this song over many many years!! Thanks for playing it tonight!!! ❤
👏 OMG 💕 - They BOTH bring back SO many 🌟 memories! I’m 70ish now, but was 1st exposed to Herb A./Tijuana Brass when my parents listened to their music, and being young I liked it too. I also knew ALL Burt’s music and lyrics to EVERYTHING he wrote - and STILL do. When I was 5y.o. I began training as a classical pianist and organist, but in my young ‘babysitting’ yrs., I would play Burt’s music on the family’s 🎹 I regularly sat for, as well as on my own in my ‘free’ time. It’s funny in a way how a SINGLE video such as this has the ability to bring many of ‘us’ older (Baby Boomers) back to a time when MUSIC was ‘real’, and LIFE in general was ‘simple’ in comparison with today (as mentioned in many comments). It’s so sad 😢 those 👍 days are gone forever - but fortunately the 😊 memories do remain!
This brings me back to the sixties and the variety shows back then like the Dean Martin Show. They had singers, comedians and did sketches, real entertainment. I wish the networks would go back to this kind of venue.
Lovely and memorable song! I think of my mother (1936-2014) who used to play this a lot in my childhood. Today I can see why she had all these albums with him, he was really goodlooking.😉
This song is an absolute fave on my play list. If it were in my power, I would turn back the clock and relive growing up in a simpler time, listening to all the great music we had! 😢
So glad I was born in 66 to older parents- they played this music, and now I am embracing it more as I get older. I am an older parent myself, and I play it for 2 young girls AND THEY LISTEN, even though they pretend not to!!!
Herb was a huge musical influence/hero in my youth, and one of the reasons I became a musician. He still touches me after all these years. Thank you Maestro 😊
Mr. Alpert, what a beautifully rendered song. I am in a particularly stressful situation over which I have little control and see little prospect for change and when i clicked on this I had no idea that the stress would just melt away in the simple beauty of this song and your voice. So glad this popped up on my screen and it will be one of my favorite performances for the rest of my life. It also made me think of my best friend who died two years ago and if she were still alive, i would have called her up and told her to view this because I knew she would be just as transported as i was. Thank you so much. ❤
So one of my favorite music icons His music transcends time The lonely bull is one of my all time faves! These tunes take me back to a time when things were just so different fun and peaceful I miss those days!
Brilliant musician, arranger, and producer. Not primarily recognized for his singing, but I think he did a very good job with this lovely Bacharach-David song. And of course Herb was always easy on the eyes! lol
It didn’t hurt at all that Herb Alpert looked so dishy at this point in his life when he recorded this beautiful Burt Bacharach classic. Great song, wonderful production. All the planets aligned just right for this song.
Dishy is right! I had no idea.
Yeah, he was gorgeous.
He still is!
I love the movie with Rose
I second that emotion.
I will be 79 years In July. The great old songs transport me back to when our lives were in a sane world!
Enjoy, further time wandering free, in 2024, be some more… Aroha, from New Zealand, in April clim… life, is a joy.
I’m 77 and totally agree with you. My son 46 said “mom I was born at the wrong time”. He just loves music we grew up with.
@@mj24672my daughter who is 38 says the same thing! I call her my “flower child”. Loves 70’s music and is a beautiful free spirit. ❤
I'll be 80 in August! I feel the same way about our insane world now. 😢
Oh I think about it all of the time ❤
This is one of those songs brings you back to when you were young and life was easy! Love it
Well said!
For sure
Heart felt for sure🩷
When I was in 6th grade, I listened to my 45 of this constantly, and had a huge crush on Mr. Alpert! And Going Places was the first record album I ever purchased!😉🙏❤️
I had the same thoughts.. Brings back good memories. This was one of my favorite songs . ❤❤

I had that same childhood. There was at least one of their albums in our house [I think Herb was in an old airplane on the cover]. Our stereo was a piece of furniture and had great sound.
Same here. Best time to be born. During the early 60's.
My parents were huge fans of Herb Albert we listened to him all the time ❤
Same. I was crazy about him when I first saw him on an album my parents had and I was just a kid.
@@michellebadham9353 Have to say, he sure was a fine man of many talents.
I was around 14-15 yrs old growing up with Herb Alpert, Burt Bacharach, Sergio Mendes to name a few of course with others like Beatles, Stones, Who, Eagles etc. But Herb, Burt and Sergio will always have that special place in my heart.

I have to add englebert to the list..

And Tom Jones, catching underwear on stage! I loved “The Green, Green Grass of Home”but a sad one. But “What’s New Pussycat?” was a fun one.
Hearing this makes it seem like the summer of 1968 was yesterday, how the years have flown by!❤
....flown by!" Boy, you nailed that on the head. Was 17 in 1968 when this came out, 72 today (5/3/2024) What great music and times we had back then.

Living in beautiful Sydney, Australia in 1968. The Vietnam war was raging. Lots of young Americans and Australians. Beautiful, romantic times despite the tragedy of the war.
He's gorgeous. My Mom was a young Mom and she just loved Herb Albert. She really thought he was handsome. Simple, beautiful, song.
My Mom had the album she played it all the time great songs ❤
Yes he is very good looking . 100%
My mom loved him too. Also Tom Jones and Englebert Humperdink.
I was just a kid & loved him. The song is so romantic!

Memories like yours can't be bought, they are truly a blessing. Good days, good times, good memories.❤
That's such a beautiful memory! Thanks for sharing it.
Burt Bacharach and Herp Albert. Such a sweet song. Pop music back then actually required real talent. Memories. So many memories.
Yes.
Who could have thought that Herb Alpert would also have a hit as a singer. He is truly talented.
And gorgeous with it! 😍
🎑👁️👁️🔹🎼💗 Had a Crush on Herb 🔹 🎺 🎶 Guess I still Do 😉
If you haven't seen it, find the absolutely wonderful documentary on Herb, entitled "Herb Albert is..." It's on CZcams. Just fabulous. Cheers!
I’m embarrassed to say that he’s the only guy that I have a man crush on. And I’m not gay…..not that there’s anything wrong with that. Great tune.
And his sculptures are sold at prices way up there.
He's. HANDSOME above the average
Man. Totally. Wonderful to me

That era had the best music . Soul, Pop, Rock.
My wife and I were just married and shared a tatami room at a Japanese Restaurant in Century City. When he and his wife found out we were newlyweds, they went way out of their way to be cordial and inclusive. Class act…and of course we became lifelong fans.
If my husband sang this to me, my heart would have melted.
It's May 2024 and Im 65 years young and this song makes me think of happy times with my mom and dad in Arizona. May they R.I.P.♥️♥️ (tears)
😢
This song was playing in a diner I was in with my 3 very young sons after my husband died in 2005.
This song takes me back to that diner.
You must have found it so difficult to go on after losing your husband. Hope you were/are OK...
❤
Great songs will do that to you, some songs you will always remember where and what time of life you first heard them. My best to you
I love this song ❤ and the beautiful man singing it !!!!!

ME too ;)
I was born in 1958. My dad used to play Herb Alpert records on our radiogram every Sunday morning. Great days which I think about often.
Same. My Dad played Whipped Cream and the Tijuana Brass nonstop.
@@redlantern3371 My Dad too! I found the album at a thrift store last week! I was born in 1957😁
I was born in 1958 also…..I really like Herb Alpert.
1959 here, always loved TJB, my grandparents, my parents, and us kids all loved TJB and Herb Albert, just smooth classic jazz!
i'm 1958 too, those were the days for sure.
Thank you....this was my favourite song ....am now 70years..Loved Herb Albert playing the trumpet .....
RISE❤
My sister and I played this song over and over, on a 45record. She will be 70 years old this year, I am 68. Beautiful music.
@@donna10001000 I am 68. I had such a crush on him in my pre and early teens!
Brings me back to my first feeling of love ❤❤❤
Rise and Rotation !…. STILL playing the album and Magic Man…out of this world! Adore Herb Albert…❤️
Rise 😮 amazing!!!!
They don’t make beautiful love songs anymore. Boy, does this bring back memories!
When you could feel the music in your soul.❤
64 years old and reminiscing profusely. Reminds me of my late Mum and Dads adoration, of this masterpiece. Adored and remember.
Takes me back to my early teenage years-Oh how I miss that time~such an innocent time for me.
Yes it was
My mom liked this song and so did I -- she's now 89 and me 65. Good memories.
Of course you could understand every word and the melody was all that.
Hold on to your dear mother and cherish her. Mine died when I was 43.
@@sensate444 I am so sorry for your great loss. Yes I am very blessed.

Thank you so much for this delightful moment.
Love this. Haven't heard it in years. ❤❤❤
His key changes and complex chordal structure were notoriously challenging even to seasoned performers.
Never, ever saw him like this, nor knew that he did solos. He is certainly one of the finest huma beings that we have. He has poured a lot of money, etc., into music education in and around LA. A truly great man. He's 89. Apr. 26, 2024.
Wow, the impact he has had in music is incredible!!❤❤❤
Eso es totalmente cierto
I had forgotten how beautiful this song is...❤❤
This is a personal favorite of mine. I still sing it to this day. This was a hit the first time I heard it. Thank you so much, Mr. Alpert.
Beyond handsome! I grew up with your music. I’ve always adored! I’m 60 now and still hum this song☺️
Ditto!
He was such a handsome and talented man.

The one and only song Herb sang, which was a big hit!
Hats off Mr. Albert !!!
I loved this song when I was young.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 70 years old and the 60’s were the best!
Herp Albert was a hero in his time.Loved his songs and his style.
He has a relaxed way of singing an it's easy to listen to
Sloppy, to me.

Oh! This takes me back. What a song. What a time it was back then. Handsome too.
