Nothing like celebrating record number eighty on the first day of the month on a Monday! Somehow I think that phrasing could have been slightly better – but the album? Perfectly soothing.
Today we head back to May of 1966!
Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass
What Now My Love
What Now My Love became Herb Alpert’s longest lasting album in the billboard number one position – nine weeks! The album is comprised of various show tunes and pop hits. Infact, my two favorites on the album are covers. “So What’s New?” is from Peggy Lee & John Pisano. “Magic Trumpet” is a Bert Kaempfert tune.
