  • Bio

    Born in Cleveland, Ohio but brought up in Pennsylvania, where he played the flute in a local band as a youth before sending some arrangements to Benny Goodman. Goodman offered him a job and after serving in WWII he joined the rearranged Miller band. In 1952 he was given a two-week assignment at Universal to work on an Abbott and Costello film and ended up staying for six years. Success with the Glenn Miller Story allowed him to score many other films, helping along the way to change the style of film background music by injecting jazz into the traditional orchestral arrangements of the 1950s. He was nominated for 18 Oscars and won four; in addition, he won 20 Grammys and 2 Emmys, made over 50 albums and had 500 works published. Mancini collaborated extensively with Blake Edwards - firstly on TV's "Peter Gunn", then on Breakfast at Tiffany which won him two Oscars; he won further Oscars for the titles song for Days Of Wine and Roses and the score for Victor/Victoria; he will be best remembered for the theme tune for The Pink Panther.

     Greetings,

    When the kites go flying,
    and children do play,
    the wind laughs and rumbles
    ‘tis Happy Birthday.

     What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists such as The Mit Romneys, is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant.

    As
    a poor girl
    sent off
    to fight rich men's wars,
    what I have learned is, among others, that
    G.I. Joe
    and Jane,
    flung
    into the most terrible of power in war
    making the world safe
    for King Midas and his Twelve Croesuses,
    then bound
    to discourtesy
    and
    neglect
    in days of order.

      When the eggs get colored,
    after chickens lay,
    the bunny smiles 'pon you,
    for Easter's array.
