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.
