fell into my hands.
But I was okay with that. Very okay !!!
Reason being, it was Herb Alpert's "Whipped Cream & Other Delights" magnificent album cover....
featuring the lovely Dolores Erickson, all covered with "shaving cream" !!!
Dolores said the photographer had to use shaving cream since "whipped cream" kept melting under all those hot bright lights.
Anyhow, this "Whipped Cream" LP cover was such a hit, Herb Alpert's album sold over 6 million copies, way back in 1965.
In fact, when he and his Tijuana Brass would perform this song in concert, Herb Alpert would jokingly apologize, saying:
"Sorry we can't play the album cover for you."
AND...AND...AND...
For the record (pun intended), the same Dolores Erickson was also featured on THE KINGSTON TRIO's "Sold Out" album cover, a few years earlier....
albeit fully dressed and standing on a ladder.
Gillette must've been happy to see Dorores graduating from a "ladder"....to "lather" !!! {hahaha}
