1972- Syndicated

Half-hour syndicated musical program starring Henry Mancini and his orchestra.    

Guests: Rich Little and B.B. King. 
Highlights include: "Guess Who" and "The Thrill Is Gone."  

 The Mancini Generation, a syndicated TV series that premiered in 1972, was hosted by none other than the man himself, award-winning composer Henry Mancini, and featured instrumental 40-man band versions of standards from pop hits to movie themes to classical overtures as well as originals composed by the series' star. After a brief run the show was canceled, perhaps having come a bit too late to appeal to the tastes of an audience that several years earlier would have more readily embraced a program perceived as cooler than The Lawrence Welk Show but not as cool as rock and roll. But there's a ring of truth to the short-lived series' title; the period from the late '50s through early '70s could easily be seen as an era defined by Mancini's music. His compositions permeated pop culture during those years, if often in subtle ways. He created literally hundreds of music scores, gaining acclaim, fame and fortune for television themes like Peter Gunn and Mr. Lucky and movie music for Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Pink Panther among many, in addition to occasional non-big- or small-screen recordings, supplying a daily music backdrop for tens of millions of people falling within that particular generation.     

A patriotic musical salute to America and Americans.
