In partnership with Jerry Moss, he founded the A&M record label in 1962 and created The Tijuana Brass to get the company some exposure. Their style of Mexican-Latin instrumentals proved very popular with the masses but more so as part of albums rather than individual releases. From 1962 through 1968, the group recorded 11 consecutive million selling LPs, six of which were Number One on the Billboard album chart. Over the same period, 20 singles made an appearance on the Hot 100 chart but only two cracked the top ten, the biggest their debut release, “The Lonely Bull”, which peaked at Number Six. Alpert later became the first recording artist to have an instrumental Number One and a vocal Number One when his instrumental release “Rise” topped the charts in 1979.
