One of the most successful instrumental performers in pop history,

trumpeter Herb Alpert was also one of the entertainment industry's

shrewdest businessmen: A&M, the label he co-founded with partner

Jerry Moss, ranks among the most prosperous artist-owned companies

ever established. Born March 31, 1935, in Los Angeles, Alpert began

playing the trumpet at the age of eight. After serving in the Army,

he attempted to forge an acting career, but soon returned to music,

recording under the name Dore Alpert for RCA.



With Lou Adler, Alpert co-wrote a number of Sam Cooke's most enduring

hits, including "Wonderful World" and "Only Sixteen." Under the name

Dante & the Evergreens, he and Adler also recorded a cover of the

Hollywood Argyles' "Alley Oop"; additionally, Alpert produced tracks

for the surf duo Jan & Dean. In 1962 he teamed with Moss to found

A&M Records, scoring a Top Ten hit with the single "The Lonely Bull."



From its humble origins as a company run out of Alpert's garage,

A&M grew to become the world's biggest independent label; among

its greatest successes were the Carpenters, Cat Stevens, Joe Cocker,

and Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66. Nevertheless, Alpert and his backing

unit, the Tijuana Brass, remained the label's flagship act: on the

strength of the hit "A Taste of Honey," his 1965 LP Whipped Cream and

Other Delights topped the charts, popularizing his Latin-influenced

style (dubbed "Ameriachi"). The follow-up, 1965's Going Places, also

hit number one, launching the hit "Spanish Flea."



After 1966's What Now My Love -- his most popular effort, remaining at

number one for nine weeks -- Alpert continued to dominate the charts

with records including 1966's S.R.O. and the following year's Sounds

Like and Herb Alpert's Ninth. In 1968, he scored his first number one

single by taking a rare vocal turn on a rendition of Burt Bacharach's

"This Guy's in Love With You"; the album Beat of the Brass followed

the hit to the top of the charts, becoming Alpert's fifth and final

number one LP.
