Mancini's music was so rare and even transcendental - like it carried you away to some amazing,romantic dream world - almost like it was a drug!

Beautiful and timeless. No more music like this unfortunately.

Originally, organist/pianist/composer great Buddy Cole was supposed to play the organ on this piece but as the story goes, Henry Mancini and Buddy had had a falling out by the time this was recorded. So who was the organist on the recording date?

Beautiful melody.

The first album I ever bought when I was about 16. I'm 71. I can't put into words what this song means to me. I weep to think that kids today may never know it.

Great song! Might sound better if the record wasn't warpped. For Mancini's first Top 40 charting single, it's a good one. You should hear the "Living Stereo" version.
Thank you!

That old jukebox still sounds great, wow.

Just curious - - do you like this song because you like ALL Mancini music, OR because you loved the Brit. series, Mr Lucky OR both? jenny6664

I like a lot of Henry Mancini's music, but I especially like the Mr Lucky theme song

Thanks for the comment. Yes it is the Pickering Stereo cartridge. The fidelity of sound is actually a lot better in person. It is a little limited by the sound quality of my camera.
