Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass The Lonely Bull Video 1962

I am going to wrap things up for today, but before I do I bring you one more song by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass from their recording in 1962... In this rendition the backdrop is an bull-fighting stadium with band playing this song in an empty stadium somewhere south of the border... The setting could have been better, but it is what it is... LOL!

Song history:

"The Lonely Bull (El Toro Solitario)" is a song by Sol Lake recorded by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass among others. The Herb Alpert single represents the first release on A&M Records.

It became a hit (US #6) and title song to the album The Lonely Bull, released in December 1962. Its original title was "Twinkle Star".

While experimenting with the sound of an overdubbed trumpet, Herb Alpert recorded this song in his garage. The single and album recordings of the song were recorded at Conway Recorders in Hollywood by members of The Wrecking Crew, and featured the sounds of a crowd cheering "Ole" inside a bullfight arena in Mexico, as well as the sounds of the trumpets announcing the matador before he enters the bullring. The song features a mandolin, a bass guitar, drums, and a wordless chorus, featuring a solo soprano. A video for the song was filmed in 1967 inside the Toreo de Tijuana bullring."
