Description

This song, along with Emily are the most well-known songs almost anywhere in the world that were penned by Johnny Mandel. This was the theme song from the movie and latter the television series. The song took 10 years in the UK to reach No.1. This is just a great melody featuring the woodwind section and then moving into a really nice Samba-ish groove. A crowd pleaser for sure! Beautifully orchestrated.

From the recording: Johnny Mandel Conducts the Music of Mandel, featuring the DIVA Jazz Orchestra.
