Description
The single of "This Guy's In Love With You" was released one week after Herb Alpert's TV special aired. The song quickly rose to #1 on the Hot 100. It was Alpert's first chart-topping hit.
adapted from WIKIPEDIA:
Music historian Robin Platts wrote that the song was originally titled "That Guy's in Love" and told the story of an unfaithful lover. Platts quotes Hal David regarding modifications done for Herb Alpert:
Herb wanted to do that song on an upcoming TV special and sing this to his wife, but the original lyric was not appropriate for what he wanted to say. He asked us if we could change the lyric so it would fit what he needed. And I did.
