Liner Notes by Lani Hall Alpert

————————————————————————————————————————

After touring some larger venues, Herb Alpert & Lani Hall decided to do their next album in-studio. Using the same core group that included Bill Cantos, Mike Shapiro and Hussain Jiffry, they came up with I FEEL YOU in 2011, the title track being a Bill Cantos tune. The extra track came as a bonus through iTunes. Lani’s vocals are contained in the titles in bold.
