For older fans The Pink Panther and Other Hits will put a massive smile accross your face. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Henry Mancini and His Orchestra energies, virtually a rebirth. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Henry Mancini and His Orchestra on ‘Breakfast At Tiffany’s: Moon River’. One of Henry Mancini and His Orchestra’s best albums yet.
Henry Mancini and His Orchestra offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. In Breakfast At Tiffany’s: Holly Henry Mancini and His Orchestra spins a tale you want to hear to the end. Breakfast At Tiffany’s: Sally’s Tomato defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. Breakfast At Tiffany’s: Something For Cat is worth the money. Breakfast At Tiffany’s - Henry Mancini and His Orchestra first major hit. Hatari!: The Sounds Of Hatari is a striking and quite long song. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Hatari!: Your Father’s Feathers. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. Hatari!: Baby Elephant Walk is absolutely incredible. Hatari!: Theme From Hatari is the song that really did it for me. Charade: Bistro has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets Henry Mancini and His Orchestra’s strong vocals come to the fore. You can find feelings on this piece of art. Charade: Latin Snowfall was the first single release from the album The Pink Panther and Other Hits. Charade: Megeve is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. The sound of Charade is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. The Pink Panther: It Had Better Be Tonight great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.The Pink Panther: The Lonely Princess is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. In The Pink Panther: Champagne And Quail you won’t find any flashy solos. The Pink Panther: Royal Blue is Henry Mancini and His Orchestra’s best work in years. The Pink Panther: The Pink Panther Theme (2:40) Not one of my favorites, but for a lot of people this is one of their best songs.
