Lovingly rendered by the late Charles Schulz Peanuts is much more than a simple comic strip. Charlie Brown Linus Lucy and of course Snoopy have sneaked into our psyche and become international symbols of purity and happiness. Schulz created the characters but it was the music of Vince Guaraldi that gave them life. Pre-Peanuts Bay Area pianist and composer Guaraldi was best known for penning the standard ?Cast Your Fate to the Wind ? but his own fate would soon change; when producer LeeMendelson solicited him to score a documentary on Schulz and subsequent television specials Guaraldi's music became inextricably linked with Peanuts. Through the swinging beats of ?Linus & Lucy? on the soundtrack to A Boy Named Charlie Brown and the festive refrains on the holiday classic A Charlie Brown Christmas he and his trio introduced millions of people to jazz in the mid-'60s and far beyond.
