Alpert hit #5 on the Pop Charts in 1987 with the song Diamonds with Janet Jackson.

Plus, hundreds of pictures, art, videos, and memorabilia from Alpert's music career will be on display. Legendary trumpet player Herb Alpert has five number one hits, nine Grammy Awards, fifteen gold albums, fourteen platinum albums, and has sold over 72 million records worldwide.

In 1966, Alpert had four LPs in the Billboard Top Ten, all at the same time.

To this day, Alpert is the only artist who has had a number one instrumental and a number one vocal record. Tickets are on sale now but going fast, and range from $45 to $115 dollars.
