This
week we have a beautiful soundtrack from a 1965 film “The
Sandpiper,” starring famous husband-wife team of Richard Burton and
Elizabeth Taylor. The film was directed by Vincente Minnelli. It
managed to win an Academy Award for Best Original Song, which had
became extremely popular.
The
music for this song, "The Shadow Of Your Smile" or “Shadow
of your smile” was written by Johnny Mandel with the lyrics
written by Paul Francis Webster. The song was introduced in the film
as a trumpet solo by Jack Sheldon. Later it also won the Grammy Award
for Song of the Year.
Whenever
I hear this song I am reminded of beautiful California coastline and
the seagulls flying so well picturised in the song.
Here
is the trumpet solo along with film titles
Here
is an equally beautiful version sung by Andy Williams
Enjoy!
