"In 1964 — a year before the release of A Charlie Brown Christmas — Vince Guaraldi gave the first televised performance of 'Linus and Lucy.' Filmed for public television, the performance featured Guaraldi on piano, Tom Beeson on bass, and John Rae on drums. Long unseen, this 1964 performance captures the piece in its earliest televised form, well before A Charlie Brown Christmas became the second-best-selling jazz album in history."

In 1964 Vince Guaraldi performed 'Linus and Lucy' in the first televised rendition of the piece, recorded a year before the release of A Charlie Brown Christmas. The performance was filmed for public television and featured Guaraldi on piano, Tom Beeson on bass, and John Rae on drums. The recording remained long unseen and preserves the piece in its earliest televised form. The performance predates the commercial success of A Charlie Brown Christmas, which later became the second-best-selling jazz album in history. The footage offers a groovy, historic snapshot of Guaraldi's trio and early Peanuts-related jazz work.
