'Whipped Cream & Other Delights' was released by Herb Alpert’s Tijuana Brass in 1965 and featured a memorable cover with model Dolores Erickson. Despite its provocative nature, the cover drove its massive success, selling 6 million copies. Erickson, who was pregnant at the time, was creatively covered with cotton batting and shaving cream to simulate whipped cream for the photo shoot. Alpert initially saw the cover as too racy, yet it has since become an enduring symbol of 1960s pop culture and music.
The album cover was considered one of the sexiest of the 1960s, testing the limits of decency yet selling over 6 million copies, more than any other that year.
Herb Alpert initially found the album cover concept too racy, but it ultimately became a huge success, marking a memorable moment in music history.
Dolores Erickson, the model, was chosen due to her connection to Alpert's social circle and used cotton batting to simulate whipped cream.
Sixty years later, 'Whipped Cream & Other Delights' maintains its iconic status, reflecting a unique blend of modern artistry and cultural boundaries.
