The Shadow of Your Smile?

Who is it now,that sings the original version?

hebba,

Wonderful--wonderful Copenhagen friendly old girl
of a town(not certain of the actual lyric here)

With her harbor lights
That she wears at night,
Like a golden, golden crown

Wonderful--wonderful Copenhagen
Beautiful girl by the sea.

Once I went away.
Now I'm home to stay.

Singing Copenhagen--Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen for me.

and another from the same movie:

Inch worm--inch worm--measuring the marigold.
You and your arithmetic, you'll probably go far.

Inch worm--inch worm--measuring the marigold.
Seems to me you'd stop and see, how beautiful they are.

I had forgotten those songs, hebba. Can you guess from whence they came?

Your town was his birth place.

Thank God that I didn't realize "The Shadow of your Smile" had been bosaed..lol. The changes in that tune are awesome.

Incidentally, I didn't know that we had Jazz Day in America either, until just recently.

Letty:
One and one are two
Two and two are four
You and your arithmetic
Will probably go far.
(Love that song, too)

Hebba will know the answer to those songs, Letty. Isn't there a statue right in the middle of his home town?

Hebba: I have the Johnny Mandell singers doing Shadow of Your Smile from the soundtrack.

Raggedy, Yes, fantastic blending, those children singing the contrapuntal drill in the background as Danny sings the Inch Worm.

Gorsh, I didn't know that group sang Shadow of Your Smile. I thought for the movie, it was a male vocalist. Been tryin to find it on the net.

Letty: My daughter has the CD of The Sandpiper at work (she loved that movie and song, as did my mother I just looked it up in my reference book of Popular Music. It says words, Paul Francis Webster, music Johnny Mandel, introduced by a chorus under the final credits of (MP) whatever that means. Motion Picture, I guess. So, you might be right about the Johnny Mandel singers. I just assumed it was them. The book says the leading record was by Tony Bennett and the popular instrumental was by saxophonist Boots Randolph.

Tony Bennett. I do believe that's the one who I remembered having sung it. Raggedy.

Hello, hello to little Letty
Song bird of the East
Song bird of the West
Guess what?
Letty is the very best!

Thank you, New Haven. A simple thank you

Well, today is Groundhog Day. It's a cool 45 degrees here, and very clear...UhOh!

Another shadow hangs over American and the world, now. Let us pray that the investigation reveals nothing sinister.

"We'll find it; We'll fix it, and get on with it."

Today was also my parents' wedding anniversary.

and here is a link to the groundhog legend:
