Herb Alpert...Do you know his father immigrated to the US from Russia?
I had no idea. I remember reading there was not one Latino in the Tijuana Brass. As a joke he remarked there were 4 lasagnas, 2 bagels, and an American cheese in the group, Alpert himself being Jewish. This always surprised me since he has a strong Latino look.
Between his musical career and his recording studio (A & M Records), he is one of the most successful musicians in history.
