The Shadow of Your Smile ( Love Theme from "The Sandpiper" )
|
Album Notes |
| Notes:
~ Songwriter Johnny Mercer tried his hand at
writing lyrics for Johnny Mandel's theme for the film 'The Sandpiper', but
they were rejected by the film's producer. At Mercer's suggestion, lyricist
Paul Francis Webster then took a crack at it. The haunting song that
resulted won an Academy Award ( the first for Mandel and the third for
Webster ) and a Grammy, and became the most recorded and performed song of
1965. It is still a favourite everywhere. ( notes from "The Incomparable Como" Readers Digest UK compilation 1975 ) |
