Music was always "my way of saying who I was and how I felt," said Rogers. "It was very natural for me to become a composer. And having written all of the music for The Neighborhood, I feel as if that's one of my gifts to children. ‘Here is a way, that doesn't hurt you or anybody else, to say who you are and how you feel.’"
"Pink Panther Theme" by Henry Mancini
Mancini’s expertise spanned the classical, pop, rock and jazz genres. He is often cited as the composer who brought jazz to film scoring. His collaborations with filmmaker Blake Edwards included some of his most widely received scores, such as “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “Peter Gunn,” “The Great Race,” and “The Pink Panther.”
"Air on the G String" by J.S. Bach
In 1717, Johann Sebastian Bach was working for Leopold, Prince of Anhalt-Köthen, the German prince of the House of Ascania. Bach was the prince’s music director. Bach composed his Orchestral Suite No. 3 in honor of Leopold, around 1731. The second movement, entitled, “Air,” was further popularized in 1884 when violinist August Wilhelmj arranged it for piano and violin.
"Freddie Freeloader" by Miles Davis
"Great Gig in the Sky" by Richard Wright and Clare Torry
Abbey Road Studios engineer Alan Parsons claimed to have heard EMI staff songwriter and session singer Clare Torry do a version of “Light My Fire” by The Doors on a cover album. Clare Torry disagreed insisting, “I don’t sound anything like Jim Morrison! I never sang ‘Light My Fire.’” What is known is that Parsons brought Torry in to sing on “The Great Gig in the Sky” during the recording sessions for “Dark Side of the Moon.”
