Crossing You in Style




Henry Mancini: Reinventing Film Music

by John Caps


"YOU LOVE HENRY Mancini. You might not know it but you do. If you have ever popped your lips through the opening bars of the theme to The Pink Panther or gargled a few of the words to “Moon River” in the shower, you have been grabbed by the Mancini groove. You’re not alone. Billboard magazine once ranked Mancini nineteenth on its chart of highest-selling album artists, putting him alongside Frank and Elvis and the Beatles and the Stones and lots of other acts that you could identify at a glance."
