It takes awhile to get to Lola Albright's vocals but it is worth it. Mancini's music is the best. Dreamsville

Lola Albright was on "Peter Gunn". Mancini did the music for it, and she was good. Almost Judy Garland good, but not quite. Still..srs business.

She was very good! She could modulate and all that and go right into modes with no problem. I can't do that. It is what it is.

OooOooO..teh melodic minor! I like it! Henry Mancini was a musical genius.
