Herb Alpert, "Rise"

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This time we're off to Hollywood in 1979 with Herb Alpert for the 12" version of "Rise"...
​
"It might surprise some, but this one was a big hit on The Clash tour bus, I can't remember who introduced it, but we all ended up with the 12". It seems we weren't the only ones listening (Biggie & Mr Combs for starters). As for Herb, he not only gave $5 Million to a Performing Arts School in Harlem, but he also commissioned the cover for "Whipped Cream & Other Delights". Right On Mr. A!" - KV
