- Extremely rare video taken from his 1967 "Singer" show. Timeless...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.
Back in '67 no one care where this music came from or who played it...it was just great music! I was one of many who went to school and took up the trumpet thanks to Herb! I still love this!
A year later I was born and I got to hear this brilliant tune. Dam its catchy.
Mr Herb Albert my respects sir.
I don't care what anybody says. HERB ALBERT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved this music when I was 7 and love it today at 53.
Carol Burris Same thing here! I found this music, when i was 12 and also love this today at 56.....
My mom is gone almost 20 years but these are the songs she loved. I grew up with this too! So innocent. When I hear this it is like my mom has just walked in the room again!!
On the 41st Anniversary of MTV--Although it predates MTV by a decade and a half, I still believe this is one of the best music videos ever made.
Growing up my mom had all these 45s. Family and people over were amazed that at 5 years old I developed a taste for this guy. Also 10cc. And Al Stewart. Listening to all these guys all over again brings back the sitting in front of the old stereo going through the records smelling moms cooking and everybody telling her let the kid go he has got good taste. Found Neil Diamond,ELO,The Doors. Its so strange how music can transport you to better times and bring back smells and places long gone.
That was good. My mother went to school with Herb Alpert at Hollywood High. She's told me Herb Alpert was a very nice guy. Have always liked him and his music.
Wow, i thing you are a lucky boy
Nice!
❤️❤️❤️
My dad rasied me on his Music took him to see them one time he was surprised. Still got records good old 60s music miss you dad
A very talented man. Oddly there was never an actual Tijuana Brass, he just used studio musician on his music. Also there were no Hispanics. He just used Tijuana Brass as a name
Remarkable boom camera work. This was before drones, folks.
Check out this camera work, pre-drone era. Herp Albert "Lonely Bull" th-cam.com/video/16B5Xm8_IKw/w-d-xo.html
Its great. I miss the 60s and 70s. It was a really fun time!
Not to mention hoisting that grand piano onto those rocks 😥
True…
This was decades before music vids were a thing. Beautiful, in every way!! Very powerful.
Totalmente de acuerdo, me impresionó la creatividad del escenario para la grabación de esta melodía.
Wow, the stringed version! Haven't heard it since I was a kid and saw the TV special. And how wonderfully absurdly '60s...a guy running across the beach...in a tux, trumpet in hand! You're wondering what's coming... Some amazing shots there through the rock formation and when the orchestra appears via the crane shot. And the kettle drums add another dimension to the tune, as well. Groovy!
Dude is still alive dropping absolute bangers in the 2020s.
Okay, in all my 55 years of listening to all forms of music, hands down this was the best instrumental on the best set, especially over a decade before MTV. He was on that iconic arch with the TJB - very difficult to stage - and then the orchestra on the beach with him ruining no doubt a good pair of leather shoes. Think of all that he succeeded and all the great acts he brought us through his A & M record label. A musical titan!
Legend.
I began listening to Herb in the 60's as a young boy. It's still as fresh as ever!!!
Possibly the best music video ever - produced in the 1960s with a timeless quality
Loved this rendition of the great Herb Alpert and the TB tune for twenty years ever since the VHS recording of the special was released. The surging beauty of the finale knocks me out every single time - the strings swirling and the brass blasting - simply great.
I saw Herb Alpert in 1998 in Chicago, one of my Bucket Lists checked off.
Great concept for a video - the orchestra on the beach, playing on from the rocks, running on the beach in those shoes can't be easy. Love this song and all Herb Alpert's hits.
this song is great, I love it since my childhood days in the early 1970's, but with this video it becomes a real artwork, fantastic - I wish there was a better quality available...
Herb and the TJB are amongst the greatest instrumental groups ever...and the videos don't disapoint
Perhaps the best version of "a taste of honey"- song. This just grooves, or how do you 60s kids would say. This hits straight to my lower body, in a good way. This is what I call music!
Herb Alpert and Maynard Fergusson are why I chose trumpet and continue to play trumpet to this day! Kudos to Al Hurt also for the Green Hornet theme when I watched that show.....early examples put in my ear that influenced my decision to become a trumpet player, musician and music teacher.
I can't listen to this song and not tap my toes. Mellow and timeless!
One of the greatest videos ever made .......
I love the Orchestrations!💕
I remember this tune on the radio when I was a kid,Still love it
This has to be the bench mark of very music video ever produced.
I can think of nothing cooler to be walking along the beach at sunset and out of nowhere see a septet of musicians standing on some rocks begin playing "A Taste of Honey" silhouetted against the light of the setting sun.
I am 53 years young and I love this album---my parents played it all the time. This is truly a timeless piece of masterful music.
Played trumpet in school band. I owned every Alpert album back then. Still listen to them.
For every Italian this song has a peculiar, unmistakable meaning... Love it! 😊
Recuerdo que mi papá ponia este cd, tantos años sin escucharla y aun la recuerdo
I've been dying to hear these old songs from my youth.
brings back the beautiful time .. i agree .
L.A was great back in those day
one of my favorite instrumentals of all time...amazing band...the bass and drum tracks are awesome! thanks for sharing this...much appreciated!
When i was a young man i loved herb alpert very much. I bought a trumpet and practiced and practiced. For years ... until I could replay almost all of the songs. A motorcycle accident, in which I lost some teeth, put an end to this, because I was hardly able to play with the dentures as before. That was almost 50 years ago. Back then I switched to the guitar and still play daily. Nice to hear Alpert's songs again ...
Herb Alpert is one of my favorite human beings in the world. He deserves all of his good fortune. This man has given back so much to the world & like Karen when all is said & done he will have left the world a better place. He does for people, give money away, plus he gave the Carpenters the brak of a life time. Herby I still have them on everyday, it never gets old. Your music is great, you are great, & like Karen & Richard Carpenter, you are an inspiration to me. Thank you
Increible video, estamos hablando de 1966!!! Excelente fotografía y sonido. Lo que mas me impresionó es que el sonido del mar parecía dirigido también por Herb!!! gracias a quien subió el video por compartir!!!! Me encantó!!!!
The 1960s, ladies and gentlemen. MTV invented nothing new.
Whoever thought to have a beach setting with a real symphony for this video was WAY AHEAD OF THEIR TIME! You can't improve on this!!
Juliet Bravo ~ You bet it was. Simply fabulous!
Incredible I love it 👍
Always liked Herb Alpert! My mom liked him too so brings back special memories!
I have listened to this for years and I watched this video just a couple months ago.
How is it I never noticed the last absolutely exquisite final 30 seconds of this song? It came out of nowhere for me.
Thank you 1960s for the best surreal cinematography ever!
The shots at the sea-side are great! Herp and his musicians sure look like they are enjoying themselves.Great song!-A Taste of Honey!
awesome! I was 9 yrs old and remember my father whistling this song around the house......good times!
that's back when kids had fathers in the home.
Herb Alpert Epitome of 1st. Class. Always a classy guy. AMAZING ARTIST !
I just can say that it is creativity...timeless creaativity.
+Angie Herrera I agree. I love this music and fine moving picture to go along with it.
Mom would play this album on the Hi-Fi over and over again.
Whipped Cream was the album.
I remember this tune from the radio when it came out, and loved it. Very catchy melody, and I really loved the distinctive bass line. Herb Alpert, Sergio Mendes and Ramsey Lewis were my introduction to popular jazz back in the 60's. Wonderful music!
It sounds amazing with the added orchestra!
A video made 15 years before MTV with a production value that is remarkable
what is the equivalent in today's technology?
As fabulous when I first heard in my sister's navy blue VW fastback, with a cassette player. At Kent State. OMG. Acoustic heaven! It still is as excellent, and dynamic as today! There was no MTV or VH1 in '66! Thanks for posting! I enjoy this often, and immensely, not 10 years old anymore, but I can still appreciate the audio, and video. Thankful that we have TWO eyes, and TWO ears!
I love the brass!!!
my parents had some herb lying around when I was a kid
I played him often and when I grew up ... a taste of honey was a fave
music like love is a drug
well the rest is history gone up in cheech and chong smoke at the speed of c^2
... and I did grow up with a taste for honey oil too along with stuffing my brass bowl full of herb whilst down in Tijuana watching the sun set
careful how ye raise your kids folks
ya just never know how your inner JC at 33 rpm will play itself out
From Whipped Cream, my first album I owned which I wore out. This was my favorite song for years as I was growing up. Inspired me to start playing the trumpet.
brings back some memories when I was young. I just found my dads old herb alpert records along with every chet atkins ever recorded a couple of years ago after my mom passed. I sure miss you both, Mom and Dad.
thanks a Old rock & roll guy whom loves herp Albert1
Cool video, just love his music, big part of my youth~
Love it. My Mother used listen to Herb Alpert music, I always liked it, still do
I was a child when I saw this clip on TV in the late sixties. Thanks to share.
Do you know what is the place?
That had to have been an exhausting and costly shoot! Wow! What a great concept to use the rhythms of the ocean like this. Such a great song, band and, a brilliant arrangement. I'll never tire of it.
What a great discovery! I love listening to this
OMG! This man was gorgeous! No man has ever been able to rock a black tux the way Herb Alpert could!
One of my favorite Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass songs. In the midst of Beatlemania, Herb Alpert took the U.S. by storm. I remember, as a child, watching the show from which this video was taken. A fond memory.
Happy music from happier times, hey ho
One of my favorites...Love his music style!!
high school memories are coming back when I hear this.
Ho apprezzato questo video in TV tanti anni fa. I favolosi anni '60 sono un caro ricordo che ancora mi scalda il cuore. Herb Alpert ne ha eseguito gran parte della colonna sonora.
One of my "ALL-Time" favorite albums!
Comin from a guy like me who grew up on Classic Rock.I know I'm gettin old when this music is part of my playlist.
This is one of the best things ever.
Saw them at the Allentown, PA, State Fair back in the 60's! GREAT open-air show!!
Holy isht! Just the logistics to pull this off in 1966! 51 freakin' years ago! Super cool as hell! (I know, it's an oxymoron)
Music the way music is supposed to be...light, sweet, melodious, lively, with some rhythm and definition to it. After listening to this, am more convinced than ever what junk most of today's so-called music is.
Herb Alpert was such a visionary to make music videos way ahead of their time ~ the new Documentary "Herb Alpert Is".. is a must see
Herb Alpert has always been a CLASS ACT!! I totally agree with thegoochman that this music will stand the test of time. It never sounds dated. I wonder how many of you remember Clark's Teaberry Gum? With The TJB sound and the quirky dance step, it was a great commercial. A Taste of Honey was used in the TV show Laredo, as sort of "theme" music for the character Eric. I could listen to Herb Alpert 24/7 and never be bored. Can't say that about the cookie cutter music today. Thanks for posting
Herp Alpert is a consummate artist and touches my heart! Marion
No Green Screen Here WOW!!!!!!> 1966> 52 years ago !!!!!! Still Love Ya Herb !!!!!!
Loved this track forever.
I like this better than the original recording! The additional instruments make a great song better!
One of my all time favorite trumpeters!
Wow, brings back old times. My dad had a trumpet back then, and I was a young child, and he would practice his trumpet to this song all the time. brings back good ole memories, thank you!
Im only 25 but my parents have tons of records and as a kid I used to listen to this over an over I loved it then an I love it now..oldies are great
When it comes to music Herb Alpert was my first crush. The first time I ever saw him I thought that he was so gorgeous!!! Not to mention multi talented. A Taste of Honey was always my favorite Herb Alpert & TWB song. Artists have come & gone but Herb still remains my #1 MAN!!!!!
My mom turned me on to this when I was a kid in the 60's and I have been a fan ever since.
He is so handsome.....much love to him and his fantastic music....my mother had all of his albums grew up listening to this great music.....❤️
The most scenic music video I've ever seen. Imagine a baby grand sitting between a rock formation along the ocean.
This just hurled me into ecstasy - but then I've always enjoyed a taste of Herbal Bert and his Marijuana Grass... :-)
check out the "rise" video. he upgraded his mood altering substance
This era of music was magical...... gone but timless! I miss it
From the early sixties to date.. I am so lucky, indeed. With this music that would make you remember those days when simplicity and purity were virtues.
I can recall the early morning sunlight and the evening crimson heavens. At night were myriad of stars. And then shooting stars streaking from time to time. The only sound was the chirping cicada or the seldom barking of a dog. And we sleep without even closing the door because we trusted the people around us. Golden rice stalks in the fields
Herb Alpert has made the trumpet COOL... 🎶🎺
Used to listen to this album all the time as kids. This was my favorite song.
Smooth as silk!!
My dad used to play the spoons to this song. LOVE IT. May he rest in peace.
When I was 13, I learned this song on the trumpet and played it to the setting sun overlooking a bluff in Pacific Grove, CA facing Monterey Bay in 1967. That and "The Lonely Bull" were my favorites....
this is the most wonderful music in the world... trompones
Just Awesome. Belongs at the top of all the songs back then, and now. My friends and I would be at the park on a summer day listening to this (on our littile radio) as we played ball, oblivious to all the world;s problems.
I must have heard this in the womb so many times. One of my earliest memories is dancing to this with my Mom. I still love it to this day. Love happy music.
Caroline Lala
Caroline Lala Reminds me of my folks also.
No one makes film like this today. Herb Alpert, what class. Spectacular!
This was what once was considered "popular Music". The world changed.
damn was he flippin hot then. i used to perform to this song in the 60's. still remember my routine. always a joy to hear
For us Italians this song is sacred: it is the symbol of the most listened to radio program in Italy
