Peter Gunn Theme

Rock Blues

The “Peter Gunn Theme” (1959) was composer Henry Mancini’s jazzy rock-inspired music for a TV detective show. Known for its pulsing guitar riff, it became a hit single when guitarist Duane Eddy covered it, reaching #6 UK and #27 US. In 1986, Art of Noise (with Duane Eddy) remade the theme to #8 UK and won a Grammy, proving its lasting appeal.
