6	Music from the Films of Audrey Hepburn (1993) more music like this by Various Artists In his liner notes to this collection, Henry Mancini, who wrote five of the 11 selections, makes the case that Audrey Hepburn was the inspiration for his writing for the pictures she starred in, and who is to disagree with him?

9	Nick at Nite: A Classic Cartoon Christmas (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Nick at Nite: A Classic Cartoon Christmas has such a great concept that it's a wonder it hasn't been done before.

14 view cover	Nipper's Greatest Hits: The 30's, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists The 1930s were a tumultuous decade, and the record business almost went under after the stock market crash of 1929 and the Depression that gripped the nation.
