hi people,
well i think my subject says it all,i heard the song played on the radio ,but it was sung by a guy and id like to know who sang it or further info....it sounds like its probably a 70's song.i know dusty springfield sang it but this version was done by a guy.
any help would be appreciated thanks
Sting recorded the song for The Thomas Crown Affair movie. It's also been sung by Johnny Mathis, and a couple of other guys who I am unfamiliar with (their versions might be instrumental). Hope that helps out as a start.
I heard Jose Feliciano do it
Hi Iceman:
The Windmills of Your Mind was written by Michel Legrand (music) with lyrics by Marilyn and Alan Bergman in 1968 and introduced by Noel Harrison (actor Rex Harrison's son) on the soundtrack of the movie, The Thomas Crown Affair in 1968 (Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway version) It got the Oscar for best original song that year.
In the 1999 remake of The Thomas Crown Affair with Pierce Brosnan, it was performed, as Cav said, by Sting and also by Chico O'Farrill and his orchestra.
benny hill also did a great rendition in a skit on his show
thanks guys much appreciated
NP Iceman. Now...when you gonna post another "Who Sang It?"
no doubt i will be asking for advice again soon,sometimes music drives me crazy,you hear it on the radio and the dj never says who sang it.
Who sang the windmills of your mind
The guy you're looking for is Jimmie Rodgers. I've been looking for this sund for ages! I found this post site during my search for the singer. Hope you get this note.
welcome weezie445...don't leave just yet, we might need you to answer some more questions.
Who sang Windmills of your mind?
I do believe the original was by Noel Harrison.
it was also a hit for dusty springfield. love her version as well as noel's. i don't remeber him ever having another hit song though.
Windsmill of your Mind
The version I know was sang by Jose Feliciano
Many others have sang it specially by Caterina Valente in 1971 live in Paris accompanied on the piano by Michel Legrand
Hell, everybody sang that one. Possibly the most obscure version I have in my vinyl collection may be the one by the Sandpipers. It's sure not great, about a step and a half above elevator music, but it's still a nice song.
