If this doesn't play at my funeral I'm not going!!!

In the days before drones, the opening shot of a helicopter camera shot actually flying down & into the stadium & close upto Herb & the boys is seriously impressive...! 👍

I have all the old albums of everyone of his songs. I'm 65 today and i was listening to this music when i was a little boy.

Only one Herb Albert what a great humble talented man.

If this can't take you back to the 60's, nothing can. Great piece of music.

This was the very best of the 60's and I love it!

One of Herb's most haunting and memorable songs.

Listening to this late at night on my transistor radio----heavenly

Herb Albert music is why we should listen to his great timeless music again. It makes you feel good as Herb would say.

I remember this video very well as I saw it live on TV as a kid! I knew after hearing Herb Alpert and the TJB I wanted to be a trumpet player! I went on to major in music and here I am 55 years later and still a trumpet player! It has been a joy to have so many wonderful students over the years and I still play in our community band and at church. While I am primarily a classical trumpet player, I must thank Herb for influencing me to play!

When I was in high school in the 60s, our school band played this song at almost every opportunity...my sympathy was all with the bull...

My Dad loved Herb Alpet albums, and it was my go to Christmas present for him back in the day (Barbara Sreissand for Mom). Damm what a inspirational tune. I say if you're ever down or blue, give this tune a listen. You will feel rejunivated.

A masterpiece like this puts things back into perspective and "life is good!"

My Dad's Favorite Music 🎶 Still Great Today.💯 God Bless 💗🙏

GOD! This song takes me back...my mom and I would dance to this so often. Herb A. & the T.B. are legendary!

Dad had a reel to reel and we'd all lay on the floor and listen 🎶 👌 good times. I miss you Dad and think of what you saw in the south pacific against the Japanese Imperial Navy

I just bought a sealed "Lonely Bull" album from salvation army store for 50 cents :)

Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass Made beautiful music to soothe the Savage Beast in US !! Memories are Golden Forever !!

When this came out when I was 7 years old it made me cry. I'm now 66. It still makes me cry.

Herb Alpert, the living legend. Smoothest horns and tunes to stir your soul.

How absolutely evocative of the bull, alone and facing the Matador and certain death, but resolved to go out fighting. What a metaphor for the human spirit also. Not one word, just instruments but the tune says so much more than can be expressed in any language.

Their greatest work of all. A pure gem.

❤ loved him ! And his band's music growing up as a young teenager. Just BEAUTIFUL !

I watched this with my father when I was a kid. Then, in 1990 I met Herb Alpert in person. I told him about it, got his autograph. Great human being. Now my father is gone....

As a kid, I just accepted this without realising, as you do, how wonderfully talented these musicians are. Quite beautiful, evocative music.

I WAS IN THAT CONCERT IN TIJUANA BULL RING. THOSE WERE THE GREAT DAYS !!!

This song would have fit in a Clint Eastwood western film greatly.

Herb is the reason I started playing trumpet in 1963 at 8 years old . What an incredible inspiration to a kid who grew up to play with symphonies all over the world . Herb Alpert = One of the most handsome and coolest cats on the planet . Thanks for this video Thegoochman . Herb Alpert --> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Alpert

As a child in the mid-1960s, I heard this song and immediately became a HA & the TB fan. I still am. I remember watching this program in 1967.

because I love this song.

My parents played HB when I was a kid. As a young adult I listened to THE THE and the song Perfect instantly reminded me of Herb A

Thanks TheGoochman. My sister and I finally got to see them in Vancouver last spring. The concert was postponed for 2 years because of Covid. We were in the centre of Row 2! It was an amazing concert. The talent Herb and Lani have as well as their love for each other is remarkable. I read the viewers comments and it's amazing how deeply Herb, Lani and the Tijuana Brass have effected us do much.

You'd have to have lived in a " cave":not to know who " Herb Alpert and the Tijuana brass " was ! Made a lotta great 😃👍😁🎯 music 🎼🎶 and this record ❤️⏺️👌👍😁🎯 a great example !

The Lonely Bull never dies!!!!

Herb Alpert. The "A" in A&M Records.

Jazz is always #1 in my book. But Herb Alpert makes it sound 100% better. He's in a class all his own

I remember the first time I heard "The Lonely Bull." I was about 7 at the time,and I instantly became a fan of Herb and the TJB. To this day, over 40 years later, I'm still a big fan. I also recall watching this TV special, with my family. It's great to see it again. Thanks for the terrific posting!

Grew up listening to this band, parents had his albums.. always will be part of my childhood.

I was born this year 62 . And as a kid in the radiogram I found a love for herb .

Part of every sevenities kids memories,listening to our folks Herb Alpert records.

Growing up, this was my parents Saturday morning breakfast music. All was good in the world.

Makes me think of my father when he played this record, oh the memories. My dad is gone now and this music gets me misty.

I was seven years old when this came out, fell in absolute love with this trumpet. Alpert is in my opinion the best trumpet player EVER! I can still know it is him playing by the third note!!

I recall I liked this tune so much when I first heard it in 1962 and still like it now. It has that nice touch Herb Alpert had with the trumpet he played. Herb had a talent in playing tunes and songs that were very appropriate for the title they had as this one.

Gracias Herb Alpert por dejar huella en mi Tijuana, Hermosa melodía, saludos dónde estés, saludos para todos los que visitan está página, una más de los bellos recuerdos

Back in the 70s my dad listened to these on a daily basis. Now i am listening to it. 2021.

I've had this in my head and been whistling it, but couldn't think of the name of the song. KZfaq's hum to search helped me find it. 😊 Great song. I remember playing this on the piano when I was a kid in the 60s.

Damn. This just brought me right back to my childhood.

Herb is still going strong at 84 with a busy touring schedule in winter and spring of 2020 with his wife and singer Lani Hall.

I had forgotten how thrilling this instrumental was! Wow!

In 1967, Herb was on top of the world.

Great song. My Son, and his best friend played this as my daughter marched down the aisle at her wedding. A non traditional wedding march, but beautiful non the less.

Herb Albert is the Man! His trumpet is SERIOUS!!!!!

I remember listening to Herb Albert on 8 track tape. Rolling down the interstate going to Ohio in my dad's 1967 Super Sport Chevrolet. Man I miss those days. Being 5 years old back in 1970 brings back so many memories. It seems the older I get the faster time flies.

When I first got my record player I found an album that had this and I would play it over and over again!

My dad had this on a record and played it on the stereo frequently. This was back in the 60's so I imagine that it was shortly after it came out. That was many chapters ago in my life. Dad is gone, but this memory lives on.

this song is timeless and ageless and it still rings today.

Herb Alpert was the reason I started playing the trumpet, love his music.

My parents played three artists in the 60's: Herb Albert, Burt Bachrach, and Sergio Mendes. Such a great time in music.

We all feel transported back, 50 plus years, as if yesterday... And tomorrow morning, i will play this for my 86 year old father... But then i noticed something... This is a very audacious music video!!! I frankly don't know how they did it, as there were no drones in those days. Sure, the quality isn't so great by modern standards, but primitive technology didn't stop them from taking risks and trying to tell a story visually. Kudos

pure, real, emotional, melody music. thanks Herb.

this song reminds me of my dad he loved herb alpert I remember him having almost every album this man made lol now as a grown woman, I enjoy his music and its almost" comfort food" or me it really keeps my fathers memories alive

I think I saw this when it aired in 1967! Anyway, Happy 80th Birthday to Herb Alpert, a true musical giant!

another great classic, mom played this and other great musicians as she cleaned when i was a little boy. smell of lemon pledge and mom humming along fill my memory. love it

Christmas 2019. And still here!

Tres Deliquentes brought me here. This video is awesome!!!

Excellent version of "El Toro Solitario", especially the sound of the marimba makes it more musically attractive

I always liked Herb Alpert's Mariachi style music. A real master of the trumpet. This is one of the first of his records I listened to. And still enjoy hearing him play.

I LOVE THIS. Long live the 60's!!!!

This is a classic.

I used to be young...🤣Love this tune!👍Remember listening on my little radio imagining how would it be to be at the bull fights.

Love this haven't thought until I told my special friend about it and he's helped me to listen to it again, Thank you.

Herbs trumpet, is the voice in this song. INCREDIBLY done.

A classic!!!! LOVED hearing this song as a kid. Thanks for posting it!

Brings back memories of growing up in Freeport,Texas in the 60's and hearing it on the Big 610,KILT out of Houston.

Listening to while seeing this is an instantaneous time machine, beautifully dazzling beyond description, totally ageless and then suddenly becoming obvious how far we've musically devolved for many years now.

this still has daggers in me. I will never let this die

I always think of this as a tribute to the bull. The bloodthirsty crowd cheers the struting matador as the dying bull stands alone ignored by all.

I a m so proud to say that I got to play this song while in high school as a solo in a band concert. It was such a thrill.

I remember this song when I had just turned 18 and was in Bossier City, La for the state basketball championships, a few of us Seniors went to a bar on the Strip and a girl came and whispered in my ear " watch me, this is for you" loudly playing in the background was this song and she stepped up on a table, about 2 feet tall, and began dancing the sexiest and slowest dance I'd had ever seen she never took her eyes away from me. Her name was Bonnie B......... I am 70 now and it's still as fresh as if were yesterday.

One of the greatest pieces of music ever that exemplifies an entire culture of people and it's nation. Being a native Southern Californian all my life, for me, this truly speaks of Mexico, IMO. Thanks for uploading this.

this was film at the bullring in tijuana....CLASSIC

Very nice melody, and still very good to listen 61 years later, so it has passed the test of time.

Our H.S. Marching Band played many of the songs by this group. Fond memories.

absolute classic i can`t put this record in my collection coz i have to play it every day pure class

I feel really old. I remember seeing this on tv when I was a youngster. In my family anything with Herb Alpert and TJB was positively watched. It was the only concert that we as a family travelled to Washington DC to see. My aunts and uncles and the whole family went. Of course at the time Brasil 66 was the touring partner. What great memories. I got to take my dad and mom in the 80's in Kansas City when Herb Alpert toured then, Just as much fun after I grew up.

I STILL LOVE THIS GREAT AND TIMELESS INSTRUMENTAL!! THANKS FOR SHARING! R.K. 3/17/2021.

My folks had several Alpert albums. Back in the day, our family enjoyed them.

Uma das mais lindas canções internacionais de todos os tempos. Inesquecível e maravilhosa.

Classic early 60s! It belongs on a hits collection with big band, easy listening, jazz, standards, and swing selections!

Our parents grew up with this music... us kids heard it n the back! Then a trip to Baja with the neighbors for tacos n good times in 60's!

Man! I dig this crazy ass music! well, since I first heard of Mr. Alpert as a kid in the early 80's

I grew up in this city Alpert's music was everywhere.

Independiente de la música, siempre extraordinaria de Herb Alpert , me sorprendió la grabación de este video, aún no existían los drones ni ningún tipo cámara tan específica , muy adelantados, buen video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Simply FANTASTIC song period!!!

I love this song...loved it SO much that I put it on my phone. This song was the first song that I remembered playing on the Adult Standards station that used to play here in my local area before it converted to an News/Talk station. I used to love listening to the Adult Standards stations wherever I lived at and explore the rich history of music. Who knew that one song could serve as the beginning for something greater in life (an appreciation of the REAL classics).

growing up, my parents had this album. I played this song more than they did. I still do.

Herb Albert was my first introduction into, what was musically, the best of the best! His music greatly influenced and shaped me into the artist I am today. Thank Herb Albert for all the wonderful music you created and played for me as well as the world!

Wow! This video is as old as I AM! I used to listen to “A taste of honey” darn near every night as I went to sleep when I was 8 or 9 years old! My dad used to put it on for me so I could get my Herb Alpert fix!!!

I was in Elementary one block from the bullring in Tijuana and remember that day, from school we went to the bullring, great expirence, I met Herb Alpert and told him about this video.
