From the back cover: He's (Mancini) a musician you can always count on and just about every movie producer in the business does. According to Time magazine, he "has producers stacked at his door pleading for his services." They've learned that his unorthodox composition and orchestration lend a special quality and class you can't get everywhere. Mancini is so busy, he can only accept one offer in ten, but even so he's already scored over 120 films.

During the past six years, he has won an incredible thirty-two major awards, including three Oscars, eleven Grammys, thirteen additional nominations for those and other honors, plus five magazine awards.

From Billboard - July 18, 1964: An outstanding album of top songs creatively and brilliantly performed and arranged. The music is arranged into four suites, a medley of Academy Award songs. A Tribute to Victor Young, The Music Of David Rose and Peter Gunn Meets. Mr. Lucky. The listener is taken on an exploration of 30 songs with a new listening thrill with every turn of the LP.
