Customer Reviews Brings back childhood Not only is the quality and song selections top notch but this cd also brought back a feeling from childhood. . . my parents listened to Mancini's music when company came or just hanging around the house. That was a time when I didn't have a care in the world and this music puts me back in that time. . . . at least mentally. It simplifies my thoughts for awhile, a great way to relieve stress. What surprised me was the reaction of my 26 year old the first time he heard it. He came into the house one afternoon, stopped and asked, "What music is that?" I thought a sarcastic comment would follow. . . it did not. . . . he followed it with. . . . "Makes the house feel happy. " . Henry mancini Great cd and brings back a lot of memories of the 60's and 70's. If you can only buy one Henry Mancini cd, this is the one because it has all his most famous songs. Mancini Delivers This album showcases a wide variety of his music, and that's the key to his charm. As always, the music of Henry Mancini never fails to deliver the range of sounds associated with his talented career. He could never be expected to do the same thing, and his talent led him from the growly notes of the Peter Gunn theme to the wild polka music of the slapstick pie fight in The Great Race. Whether sentimental like The Sweetheart Tree or Moon River or the sneaky tiptoe of the Pink Panther, Mancini always delivered in an expert, smooth style that is so lacking in the present. The perfect album for what is now sneeringly referred to as Easy Listening, it's just the thing for a rainy afternoon, or a quiet morning sipping coffee. Too bad he's gone, the world could use a gifted talent like Henry Mancini even now. . . You can see a complete list of all Henry Mancini discography, or go back to the Henry Mancini tabs
