The jazz standard was originally released on Guaraldi's album Jazz Impressions of A Boy Named Charlie Brown in 1964, but it gained its greatest exposure as part of A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack the following year.[2] It is one of the most recognizable pieces by Guaraldi and has gained status as the signature melody of the Peanuts franchise.[3]
