Halloween Tunes: It's the Great Pumpkin--Linus and Lucy by Vince Guaraldi

 What an idea to put a jazz track with a cartoon on Peanuts animated special.  

According to this NPR article, CBS didn’t have very high hopes for theoriginal little Christmas special they were putting together. They didn’t think “jazz fit properly.” And they wanted professional actors, not the regular children that producer Lee Mendelson chose.

Fortunately for Guaraldi, Schulz, and us, it turned out just fine.
