Herb Alpert - Songwriter

[abstract_fan]

When you think about HA, how many great albums are under his own name, albums he was a guest on, produced etc., it is staggering how much time he has spent in a recording studio producing great music. But then I got to thinking, how many songs he wrote or co-wrote. NOT songs he wrote for albums under his own name (because we all know those). Maybe we could list songs he wrote or co-wrote for others like this enjoyable track:

@abstract_fan, those are some quite obscure recordings there! It makes me wonder how many of these are lurking around in the numerous used record stores in the 45 bins. I'll have to add a few to my list, just for kicks.
