The song of the day for Tuesday, July 11, 2023, is “The Shadow Of Your Smile.”
About This Song
“The Shadow Of Your Smile” was written by Johnny Mandel and Paul Francis Webster as the main love theme from the 1965 film The Sandpiper, starring Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor (and was my late mother’s favorite movie). It was filmed, beautifully, in Big Sur on the California coastline. The song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
About This Version
Tony Bennett recorded “The Shadow Of Your Smile” on September 26, 1965, for The Movie Song Album, released in 1966. It was arranged and conducted by the composer, Johnny Mandel.
“The Shadow Of Your Smile,” as well as The Movie Song Album is available on Apple Music.
