Title: DOES HERB ALPERT NEED MONEY OR PUBLIC RECOGNITION?
Review: Mr. Alpert is 71 and has had many successes so the question is why ruin his own classic. If he needs the money, ask for a loan, don't ruin your reputation. If he needed to go on the Tonight Show again with Leno, write a book or tell a story, dont bash a classic.I would have hoped that he had friends honest enough to say "Herb, it stinks, leave well enough alone man". But alas, its out there for all to hear and be embarrased for him.He doesn't the money. Sadly he needed the limelight again. But not this way. Make terrific music again. Don't ruin what had worked.We can hope he tries with original material next time and not live off the past.The one thing this release did accomplish, it made me listen to the original again. Great stuff.
