I can’t decide which is more awesome, the fact that the radio was playing Herb Alpert’s song The Lonely Bull last night or the fact I knew it was Herb Alpert’s song The Lonely Bull without the DJ having to tell me. Here is some information you probably don’t know. Herb Albert has won five #1 hits, eight Grammy Awards, fifteen Gold albums and fourteen Platinum albums. He has sold something like 72,000,000 records worldwide. At one point he was even outselling the Beatles two to one. In 1966 he was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records for having five albums at one time on Billboard's Top Twenty. He was also a talented expressionist painter and “The Herb Alpert Foundation assists educational, arts, and environmental programs dedicated to the training of young people, helping them discover their own potential and vibrant energy.” Not being one to limit himself to only one or two creative outlets, Alpert also became involved in Broadway theatre. His producing credits include, among others, the Tony Award/Pulitzer Prize winning production of Tony Kushner's "Angels in America." In conclusion I would like to say I envy Jen for have not one but two Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass albums on vinyl, a feat I hope to accomplish at some point in my life.
