I grew up listening to Herb Alpert, still love it. He married Lani Graves who was the singer for Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66, for quite awhile.

I have about six copies (did a lot of bulk buying at estate sales in the last months before I left Seattle).

My first copy was stolen when I worked at my high school library in 1970. The cover made it popular. ;)

I can’t believe how many times I see that album obscurely used in movies. Watch Boondock Saints. When their sidekick returns to the apartment in a rush to grab his stuff and leave, he grabs some records and that one is on top.

Yeah, he looks like a real Herb Alpert fan. ;)

I don’t care what other people say the Sixties had the best looking ladies...

The Seventies are a close second.

Oh Herb Albert’s music is great, too......

Oh, yes, it: "fogged the minds of many young men, as they gazed at the... personalized come-hitherhood to the woman staring back ..

I'm sure not just the minds of young men.

I wonder if she realized how many young boys dreams were fueled by that very sexy album cover. It is a testament to the old axiom that erotic is based on what you DON’T show in a picture.

I believe it is her featured on two album covers that were obviously done during the same shoot.

Small thing:

...The record spent 141 weeks on Billboard's Top 40 200 albums chart.
