The prompt is #brassHerb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass, “A Taste of Honey” from Whipped Cream & Other Delights (1965)
I didn’t set out to be so literal with the band name, I just wanted the sound, and here we are. Is it cheesy? Well, dairy-adjacent - but c'mon, it is in fact a delight.
I have learned that this song was originally written by Bobby Scott and Ric Marlow for the 1960 Broadway version of the 1958 British play A Taste of Honey,, which was also made into a film of the same name in 1961, and that this recording earned four Grammys! In addition, #TheBeatles recorded and released a vocal version of this song on their first album, Please Please Me. I somehow had never connected those dots.
If memory serves, Mom had a crush on #HerbAlpert. I get it, Mom.

Okay, so that album is fabulous, as are the other 3 albums that came with it.
(South of the Border, Music Box, and What Now My Love -- although based on the cover and the tracks, What Now My Love may have been a "what else can we throw on an album, you're on a roll, if we push another one out this year you can sell twice as many albums" -- same photo shoot as South of the Border)

Lol I take this is the swinging 60's (I am sure that cover would have been wrapped in brown paper in the town I grew up in...) #lps #herbalpert
