"The Pink Panther Theme" is a #jazz composition by #HenryMancini written as the theme for the 1963 film #ThePinkPanther and subsequently nominated for the #AcademyAwardForBestOriginalScore at the #37thAcademyAwards but lost to the #ShermanBrothers for #MaryPoppins. The #eponymousCartoonCharacter created for the film's opening credits by #DavidDePatie and #FrizFreleng was animated in time to the tune. The tenor saxophone solo was played by #PlasJohnson.
