June 22, 1968 –
Herb Alpert’s single This Guy’s in Love with You, went to No. 1 on the Billboard Charts on this date.
Alpert sang this to his first wife in a 1968 TV special called The Beat of the Brass. The sequence was taped on the beach in Malibu. The song was not intended to be released, but after it was used in the TV special, thousands of telephone calls to CBS asking about it convinced label owner Alpert to release it as a single two days after the show aired.
