Peanuts Greatest Hits

While the Peanuts comic strip appeared daily in newspapers across the world, Vince Guaraldi's music helped bring the gang to wider audiences through his jazzy Peanuts television and film soundtrack recordings. In early 1964, when Lee Mendelson began work on a television documentary about the world of Peanuts, he heard Guaraldi's Grammy(R) Award-winning instrumental hit 'Cast Your Fate to the Wind' on the radio, while crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. Mendelson knew he'd found precisely the right musical foil for Peanuts. Over the next decade, Guaraldi composed and performed scores for numerous Peanuts TV specials - including the evergreen 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' - along with a feature film, 'A Boy Named Charlie Brown'.
