I used to play Herb Alpert and the Star Wars soundtrack over and over. I was four or five...
My Mom liked Herb Albert. Also Johnny Mathis and Barbra Streisnad. Yeah, she’s a political moron, but she does have an incredible singing voice.
I was/am a pretty avid reader. ESPECIALLY space science fiction. I remember reading the Star Wars novel, while having the album playing, just to relive some of the emotion the movie tapped into.
As an aside, I was working on a job about 12 years ago or so. Programmable ringtones on phones were a new thing. One guy had the The Emperors Theme programmed in...
For his wifes number.
My dad had a Reel-to-Reel deck, he purchased a tape from American Airlines which had a sampler of all of the A&M artists from that era: Herb Alpert, Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66, Antonio Carlos Jobim, etc. I used to play that all the time as a kid, loved it.
