Throughout his career, Alpert has sold over 72 million records, and placed 28 albums in the Billboard 200, including five No. 1 singles. He has scored 14 platinum and 15 gold albums, and is the only artist ever to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 as both a vocalist and instrumentalist, with 1968’s “This Guy’s In Love With You” and 1979’s “Rise,” respectively. With his group Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass, the band garnered four albums in the Top 10.
One of the founders of A&M Records (with partner Jerry Moss), Alpert played a significant role in the careers of acts such as Janet Jackson, the Carpenters, The Police, and even Country Music Hall of Famer Waylon Jennings, whom he signed in 1963 -- some two years before Jennings began to find success on RCA Victor in Nashville. In 2006, Alpert was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
