Ben Folds on Following in Vince Guaraldi’s Footsteps to Score ‘It’s the Small Things, Charlie Brown’

Over two days in January 1972, the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin — she was 29 at the time — sweeps into the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Watts in front of a congregation and testifies to God in song. The blessed thing took nearly half a century to come out because director Sydney Pollack failed to sync the image with the sound.

Ugh. Vince Guaraldi wrote interesting music. West Coast jazz. Ben Folds’ music is inane and uninteresting.
