Perhaps-fun stuff:

Linus and Lucy was recorded by the Vince Guaraldi Trio back in 1964.

They're all dead now, which is a shame.

But there's a brilliant modern recording, from 2016, that features the original drummer, Jerry Granelli: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OODA_K5hxyc

And it's definitely worth spending some time to give it a watch/listen. There's a lot more to that little tune than most people probably realize.

It's debatable whether it was first recorded in '63 or '64.

The genesis of Guaraldi's involvement was a 1963 documentary "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" which has nothing to do with the 1969 animated feature.

This was produced for TV but never aired, and recently surfaced on Youtube: https://youtu.be/UGAs5fZUvBM&t=425s

To complicate things further, Guaraldi released "Jazz Impressions of A Boy Named Charlie Brown" (once again, based on the 1963 documentary) but these recordings are not the same as the cues used in the documentary.
