hey, they forgot to put on there that he wrote the music for 'Love Story' - that's one of his most famous works, what's the deal with these wiki people- 'Mr. Lucky', who's ever seen that?
For the record, none of these biographies/discographies/filmographies list Love Story:
Further, it would appear the composer was Francis Lai: http://www.filmaffinity.com/en/film866133.html Nathanlarson32767 20:56, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Now it appears Mancini and his orchestra did PERFORM the Love Story theme, which was by Francis Lai.
See this Mancini discography: http://www.bjbear71.com/Hank/singles.html
Henry Mancini, "Love Story", RCA Victor [Brazil] EP #LCD-3172 (1971).[Extended Play record]
This Brazilian Extended Play record contains the following tracks performed by Henry Mancini and His Orchestra: 1. Theme from Love Story (Francis Lai) 2. Loss of Love - theme from Sunflower (Mancini-Merrill) 3. Theme from Borsalino (Claude Bolling) 4. Song from MASH (Johnny Mandel-Robert Altman) Nathanlarson32767 21:06, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I removed the Peanuts listing under selected works, because Guaraldi composed said, and this much is listed in the main body of the article. Wangoed 11:54, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Mancini won I believe 3 academy awards which hasn't been mentioned I don't think at all in the article, thus I'm just doing to include this info. -- Apoc100 15:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Someone needs to add Lawrence of Arabia to attribute Mancini.
Why? Mancini didn't score "Lawrence of Arabia." Maurice Jarre did. Rich 06:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
I am not quite sure why, but I viscerally sense that a good chunk of this article was plagiarized. Davemarshall70 05:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
This sentence puzzles me:
"Mancini also had an uncredited performance as a pianist in the 1967 movie Gunn, the movie version of the series Peter Gunn, the score of which was originally composed by Mancini himself."
John Williams is the pianist in the TV version. Is the TV version different from the movie version? (I'd expect it). And there is no citation for this little bit of information. Is it true? Gingermint ( talk) 07:02, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
"Mancini was born Enrico Nicola Mancini in Cleveland|Little Italy]] neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio..."
I guess someone wanted to write "...in the 'Little Italy' neighbourhood of...", but did something wrong.
Since my technical skills are virtually non-existent, could someone please clean that up?
Seems to me that the words "Beverly Hills/Los angeles, California" has for some reason been merged into one single link. I find that rather messy. Why would anyone want to look up all these 3 places in the same article? Anyway, I am going to split the link into 3 different ones, pointing each of the names to their respective articles which already exist. Oh, and by the way, I'll correct the minor typo as I do so. -- TrondBK ( talk) 21:03, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
He experimented with advanced compositional techniques. I can't find anything online to back this up and I can't remember the pieces I've heard but I do know this for sure-for sure. Really quite interesting and uber different from what we generally know him for. That said, there is a lyricism and beauty to the music that even in the non-tonal music you can tell it is by Mancini.

Mancheeni or Manseeni? An IPA guide in the article, please. -- Adoniscik( t, c) 19:27, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
I know you won't consider this the final word, but in this video at 3:08, Julie Andrews asks Mancini, "You Henry Mancini?" to which he replies, "That's right." She says "man-see-nee." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gRFyxxCs5g And I know this is original research, but I spoke with Mancini several times in the years before his death, and he himself said "man - see - nee." 72.177.7.99 ( talk) 15:52, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
I think it would be very useful to put the correct IPA pronunciation in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.132.141.109 ( talk) 18:17, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
There is no mention of "Columbo" where he scored (at least) the first two seasons. There is perhaps more but I noticed this as I was watching Columbo...

hi! i just want to ask if he record the song Nadia's Theme (Young and the Restless), if the popular version comes from him beacause it is not included in his documentary. i hope you can help me thakns! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.207.103.248 ( talk) 05:31, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

What does "opening" mean here? — Tamfang ( talk) 00:41, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
Although Mancini changed his first name from the Italian "Enrico" to English "Henry", there is evidence that he kept his middle name.
The use of the initial "N." cannot in any way be construed as the middle name "Nicola." The name Henry N. Mancini is only found in places where more formality was required, such as on business correspondence and legal documents, etc. The few obscure examples you list cannot supersede the overwhelming fact that his work is always credited as Henry Mancini, the name by which he is known throughout the music industry and the world.

If it is to be changed, there should be a consensus here about it. If there isn't a consensus, the current headings and heading levels should be maintained and editors who make arbitrary changes to their own personal preferences may and should be reverted.

Hello,
I have a fairly unique situation. My friend's grandmother went to high school with Mancini, and according to the yearbook, he actually graduated in 1941, whereas most news articles about him have reported him graduating in 42. I have the photographic proof of this. How would I go about making a proper change and showing this new info even as it contradicts some of the articles about him?
