Herb Alperts Tijuana Brass - South Of The Border '1964; 2015

Tracks list

South of the Border is the third album by American easy listening brass band
Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, originally released in 1964. The name of the
group, for this album, is Herb Alperts Tijuana Brass.

Alperts first top ten hit, and fifth gold record, the album continued the
progression of the Tijuana Brass from its mostly-Mexican sound to a more
easy-listening style, with a collection of cover versions of popular songs.
Included were Ive Grown Accustomed to Her Face, originally featured in the
Broadway musical My Fair Lady and The Beatles 1963 hit All My Loving. It also
featured an instrumental cover of its title song, South of the Border, which was
most famously done as a vocal by Frank Sinatra.

Hello, Dolly! had the band singing a couple of lines of the mostly-instrumental
rendition, in what might now be considered stereotyping, using mock-Mexican
accents. Alperts distinctive singing voice was not discernible in that portion.
Also, in some versions, he can be heard whispering Número Cinco, effecting a
Mexican accent, at the start of that songs track.

One number, a Sol Lake tune called The Mexican Shuffle, was reworked for a TV ad
for a brand of chewing gum, and styled The Teaberry Shuffle. Bert Kaempfert,
author of several songs covered by the Brass, returned the favor by issuing a
cover of The Mexican Shuffle. The number called El Presidente, was a
reorchestration of Sol Lakes Winds of Barcelona, which had appeared on Volume 2.

The cover features Alpert and perennial HATB model Sandra Moss at the Patio del
Moro apartment complex in West Hollywood.
