The Music from Peter Gunn is a 1959 album by Henry Mancini (RCA LPM/LSP-1956). It was the first album ever to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1959. It was followed by More Music from "Peter Gunn" (RCA LPM/LSP-2040). The main theme is notable for its combination of jazz orchestration with a straightforward, rock 'n roll backbeat. The Music from Peter Gunn was selected by the Library of Congress as a 2010 addition to the National Recording Registry, which selects recordings annually that are "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[1]
