Listen to HerbAlpert's EarthWindFire cover below
the same way he always has. "It all starts with melody," the trumpet-playing legend tells Billboard. "The memory has to be there." And Alpert deemed it certainly was on Earth, Wind & Fire's "Fantasy," premiering exclusively below.
"That was on a song on an Earth, Wind & Fire album I always liked ," Alpert says. "My friend Eddie Del Barrio wrote it with Maurice White and arranged it for me on this one. I just always like the melody -- here again it's just about the melody, and I tried to find a way to do it that if people hadn't heard the song before maybe they might listen to it in different way.
At 84, Alpert continues to play live, with wife Lani Hall singing, as well as paint and sculpt -- with pieces at museums in Chicago and Jackson Hole, Wyo. He's also currently assisting in the making of a documentary about his life and career.
"It's beyond words," Alpert says. "They really tried to cover it up and did cover up what actually happened way back then. Now that it's coming out it's getting even more infuriating because they did nothing to help prevent that from happening. I have all my tapes and Lani's tapes as well, but we lost a lot of great artists' tapes in that, which is devastating.
