Welcome to Rock and Roll Flashback Podcasts! Greetings to all you time travelers and music aficionados! I'm Jumpin' John, and in this episode of Rock and Roll Flashback podcast I will review the extensive musical career of trumpeter and producer Herb Alpert!
Herb Alpert recorded 28 albums that charted on the U.S. Billboard 200. Five of those LP's became #1 albums. His album sales resulted in 14 LP's reaching platinum status and 15 LP's reaching gold status. From the week ending October 16th, 1965, through the week ending April 29th, 1967, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass had at least one album in the Top 10, marking 81 consecutive weeks! For many of these weeks, more than one album registered in the Top 10. In the year 1966 alone, over 13 million Alpert recordings were sold, outselling the Beatles. That same year, the Guinness Book of World Records recognized that Alpert set a new record by placing 5 albums simultaneously in the Top 20 on the Billboard chart, an accomplishment that has never been repeated. Alpert is the only musician to hit #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 as both a vocalist (with "This Guy's in Love with You" in 1968) and an instrumentalist (with "Rise" in 1979). Alpert has sold an estimated 72 million records worldwide. In addition to the Grammy Trustees Award, Herb Alpert has won eight Grammy Awards.
