Who is Vince Guaraldi? Funny you should ask.

Vince Guaraldi Trio – ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ (1965)

I read online that Lee Mendelson, producer of the A Charlie Brown Christmas TV special heard a recording of “Cast Your Fate to the Wind” by Vince Guaraldi’s Trio while riding in a taxicab in San Francisco. Mendelson was put in touch with Guaraldi and he made the proposition that Vince Guaraldi create the score for the upcoming Peanuts special. The results were such a success that Guaraldi ended up composing scores for 16 Peanuts TV specials. Among the legendary songs created are “Linus and Lucy,” “Christmas Time Is Here,” and “Skating.”
