- Description
- The37-cent Henry Mancini commemorative stamp was issued on April 13, 2004, in Los Angeles, California. Carl T. Herrman of Carlsbad, California, designed the stamp.
- The stamp honors Henry Mancini, one of the most successful music composers in the history of television and film as well as a popular pianist and concert conductor.

He won many awards, including twenty Grammys and four Oscars, and his albums have sold more than 30 million copies.
- The stamp features a painting by artist Victor Stabin showing Mancini conducting as the titles of some of his most popular film and television projects appear to scroll over a screen behind him.
