1965 Songs: A Taste of Honey

Tweet

And now we come to a song that might not get listened to by any of the male members. You’re just here to stare at the album cover. Can you believe, the album cover that launched a million dirty dreams is 60 years old now? Back to 1965 for a classic song. A Taste of Honey - Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass Unopened mint copies of this album are a dime a dozen, because guys just bought it for the cover. Fun fact: the model, Dolores Erickson, is still living. She’s 89 (she’ll be 90 in September). Herb Alpert is still living, too (he just turned 90)…AND performing. I think I read that Erickson was pregnant when she did that photo shoot. It’s not whipped cream (despite the album title), it’s shaving cream, because that wouldn’t melt. Most of the white at the bottom is a sheet or a blanket. And I’ve spent all this time and caloric output typing that and the guys are STILL gawking at the picture, instead of reading or listening. This is a really good album (we had it when I was a kid), if you ever get around to listening to it. A Taste of Honey Written by Bobby Scott and Ric Marlow Recorded by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass From Whipped Cream and Other Delights, 1965 And this album won FOUR Grammy awards…but they never listened to it!
