Love Potion No. 9 by Herb Alpert’s Tijuana Brass.
This track sounds like the theme song that goes with that alluring album cover. This was one of about five Tijuana Brass albums my dad had in his collection growing up, Like every pre pubescent teen boy whose dad owned this album, this was my favorite.
The record spent 141 weeks on Billboard’s Top 40 albums chart. In later years, at concerts, Alpert would tell audiences, “Sorry, but I can’t play the cover for you.”

My parents had the same album along with the Sergio Mendes Brasil ’66 album. It was all “adult contemporary”. I thought that when I got older, I’d like them too… dropping my childish liking of rock… Though I like Herb Alpert and Sergio Mendes, I still like the others still. Rock ‘n Roll never died…
