Henry Mancini was the first composer to become wildly successful with the public, particularly with the slinky, playful theme for the Pink Panther movie and the brassy, big band sound of the TV series Peter Gunn. Mancini was equally adept at broader, lyrical pop styles, especially in the song “Moon River”, the achingly beautiful theme for the film Breakfast At Tiffany’s. He won 20 Grammy awards out of 73 nominations.
