One of the most iconic aspects of the 1965 animated special \u2018A Charlie Brown Christmas\u2019 is the music. There is no denying that the jazz stylings of Vince Guaraldi set the tone for the cartoon perfectly.<\/p>\n

The most recognizable piece of music is called \u2018Linus and Lucy.\u2019<\/p>\n

The story behind this is music is fascinating. Open Culture<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

When A Charlie Brown Christmas<\/em> first aired 58 years ago, few had any confidence that it would be a hit. Its story and animation, bare-bones even by the standards of mid-nineteen-sixties television, made a positive impression on neither CBS\u2019 executives nor on many of the special\u2019s own creators. They didn\u2019t expect that this very simplicity would turn it into a perennial holiday favorite \u2014 nor, presumably, that its soundtrack by the Vince Guaraldi Trio would become one of the most beloved Christmas albums in existence. Now that we\u2019re well into the season when the music from A Charlie Brown Christmas is heard every day in homes, caf\u00e9s, and shopping malls all around the world, why not get an introduction to Guaraldi, the man and his music, from pop culture video essayist Matt Draper?<\/p>\n

\u201cBorn in San Francisco in 1928, Guaraldi credited his two uncles with sparking his interest in jazz as a child, with the future musician already learning the piano by age seven,\u201d says Draper. After serving in the Korean War and returning home to study music at San Francisco State University, Guaraldi began to \u201cpursue his love of jazz in local clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n

He soon formed his trio, and recording their first albums in the mid-nineteen-fifties, he \u201cexpanded his use of Latin jazz and bossa nova.\u201d In 1962 Guaraldi scored his first hit with \u201cCast Your Fate to the Wind,\u201d a single from an album inspired by Marcel Camus\u2019 Black Orpheus<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Watch below. If you\u2019re a fan of the classic Charlie Brown specials, you\u2019ll love this:<\/p>\n\n

Here\u2019s the song \u201cSkating\u201d which you\u2019ll recognize from the classic special.<\/p>\n\n

This music is unmistakable. It will forever be associated with Charlie Brown and Christmas and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that.<\/p>\n
