Since I am working and it is my lunch hour, I am going to add an additional Noon Hour song to today's Music Interlude... For that I have selected a song by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass titled "Rise"... You may remember it! I think it is a nice change for today... What say you?

Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for sharing the music video another one of your favorite trumpeters Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass performing a popular tune titled "Rise" in 1979.
Song background "Herb's nephew, Randy Badazz Alpert, wrote this with Andy Armer. When the 3M Company lent a 32-track digital recorder to A&M Records (then co-owned by Alpert), they had some time to experiment. Randy told Songfacts: "It was Herb's idea to record The Lonely Bull and several other of his old hit records in a dance format, and though I did not particularly like the idea I did go ahead and work up some new dance arrangements for those old songs. I had played 'Rise' and several other new songs for Herb several weeks before the recording session and he loved two out of the three songs. We had always intended to record Rise during the session. That song was never an after thought. We did try recording The Lonely Bull and one other song before we switched to Rise. The room seemed to light up when we started to record that tune. It was a magical moment for both Herb and me."
On the Armer/Badazz audition tape, this was a stomper, going 128 beats per minute. Alpert slowed it to about 100 BPM so "People could dance and hug each other at the end of the night."
