he wrote "Pink Panther", "Moon River", "Peter Gun" and so many more classic film songs. Anyone have this new album? Ultimate Mancini? It has his daugter (Monica) on it a lot, and Stevie Wonder. Great stuff.

Here's a preview if you would like to hear some... http://www2.fanscape.com/ultimatemancini/player/
really, one of the best Mancini albums i've heard yet...
 
That is some truly memorable music:D
 
Mancini was a favorite composer of mine. He even wrote the music to the second "Bob Newhart Show" set in Vermont.
 
I have one of his albums from 1964 - The Best of Mancini.
It's an RCA Victor album.
 

I have several LP's from the 60's. A classic for sure. Looks like a neat CD.

And welcome to the DIS. :wave2:

Does it feature any of his songs from "The Great Mouse Detective" ?

I love the music from that movie, seriously underrated in the Disney canon.

Also love the theme from A Summer Place... the instrumental, the one with words I HATE. :-)
 
:cool:

I often enjoyed listening to my folks' Mancini LPs, and have been wanting to get some for myself someday.
 
Yes, I am listening to the CD as I DIS LOL.

i don't think there are any tracks for "great mouse detective" but there's some great stuff from Peter Gunn and The Thorn Birds... plus a whole lot more. Cool musicians on this one...

I was under the impression that Mancini actually wrote the music for it... I guess I Was mistaken for all these years!
 
The theme from A Summer Place was composed by Max Steiner.
