It'll never be known exactly what made Whipped Cream & Other Delights Herb Alpert's big commercial breakthrough -- the music or the LP jacket's luscious nude model covered almost entirely with simulated whipped cream. Probably both. In any case, Alpert's most famous album is built around a coherent concept; every song has a title with food in it. Within this concept, Alpert's musical tastes are still refreshingly eclectic; he uses Brazilian rhythms on "Green Peppers" and "Bittersweet Samba," reaches back to the big-band era for the haunting "Tangerine," uses Dixieland jazz on "Butterball," and goes to New Orleans for the Allen Toussaint-penned title track (familiar to viewers of TV's The Dating Game). He also has developed a unique sense of timing as a producer, using pauses for humorous effect, managing to score his second Top Ten hit with a complex, tempo-shifting version of "A Taste of Honey." No wonder Alpert drew such a large, diverse audience at his peak; his choices of tunes spanned eras and generations, while his arrangements were energetic enough for the young and melodic enough for older listeners. Whipped Cream & Other Delights, number one in the U.S. for eight weeks, is available on CD, though the cover obviously doesn't make as alluring an impression as it did on LP.
---Richard S. Ginell, allmusic
The music of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass was as much a part of the '60s as that of The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Motown. Whipped Cream & Other Delights was their biggest album of all, spending eight weeks at #1 on the Billboard charts and an incredible 141 weeks in the Top 40. It features the single "A Taste Of Honey" (which won three GRAMMY Awards) and the title track, which became famous as the theme song for The Dating Game.
And then there's the eye-catching cover, which defined the era as much as the music on Whipped Cream did. It was a winning combination then, and it's still delightful today. |
