Mr. Lucky Goes Latin was Henry Mancini's sixth studio LP for RCA Victor Records, and was released in 1961. It was recorded at RCA Victor's Music Center of the World, Hollywood, California. The album was produced by Dick Peirce. Al Schmitt was the recording engineer. Don Peters was responsible for the cover design.[2]
By January 1961, Henry Mancini had composed a dozen new Latin-themed pieces under his ongoing contract with RCA Victor. Since the first track on the album was an up-tempo cha-cha arrangement of the theme Mancini composed for the TV series Mr. Lucky, the album was given the overall title of Mr. Lucky Goes Latin, even though none of the other tracks had anything to do with that TV series. It had its own soundtrack album, Mancini's Music from Mr. Lucky. Of the more than ninety albums he would release over his lifetime, Mancini pronounced Mr. Lucky Goes Latin to be his favorite.[3]
