Its too easy to forget what a nice voice Andy Williams had. Smooth and creamy. He was from a time of velvet voiced crooners who will likely not be seen again.
I've been waiting 30 years for this type of music to return. It has to start with teenagers that really can sing and intend to prove. It's just around the corner, hopefully.
@@johnbrzezinski1446 That's when US showed Stalin he cannot just grab lands and turn them into murderous communist country. If US didn't go to Vietnam, most Asian countries down to Australia will end up Communist like North Korea, China, Cambodia, Vietnam and eventually will reach US. You have no idea what life is in communists countries. Unless you got no morals and conscience.
@ J B - I hear what your are saying. However, I really don't think it was a simpler world. We were all so naive to what was REALLY happening in the world and even in the United States (i.e.: the truth about the JFK assassination, the Bays of Pigs fiasco, MLK assassination, RFK assassination, the U.S. involvement in Vietnam (it started in the 1950's!), the overthrow of Arbenz in Guatemala to protect U.S. Corporate interests (United Fruit Company), the overthrow of Patrice Lumumba in the Congo, the overthrow of Mossadegh in Iran, etc. I have been reading "true history" following WW2 and there was so much covert activity going on - it was truly damaging and even to this day, we (the United States, the world) are suffering the after effects of those covert activities. When you say covert activities you must say CIA Director Allen Dulles in the same sentence.
My dad passed with dementia 4 years ago at the start of covid. This was my parents song to each other and played at his funeral. This morning, I lost my mum to dementia as well, and I'll play their song for mum too. I really hope she's in dad's arms again now 😢
I remember that I was watching the Acadamy Awards that year and two of the nominated songs were Shadow of Your Smile and the song entitled "More". . Shockingly another song won. The song was Talk to the Animals.
@@cedricforbes7482, you’re wrong. The nominees were The Ballad Of Cat Ballou in "Cat Ballou”, I Will Wait For You in "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg”, The Sweetheart Tree in "The Great Race“, What's New Pussycat? in "What's New Pussycat?“, and The Shadow Of Your Smile in "The Sandpiper“. The Shadow of Your Smile won best song and Natalie Wood presented the Oscar.
@@cedricforbes7482, you’re confused with the 1968 Academy Awards, that’s when the song from Doctor Doolittle won. There wasn’t a song named “More” nominated either. The Bare Necessities from The Jungle Book, The Look of Love from Casino Royale, and Thoroughly Modern Millie were nominated.
Real singing. They'll never write songs like this again. Cherish it. Beautiful symbiosis between singer, lyrics and melody. Capturing that moment we can only express in this fusion. Alchemy!
ANDY is one of my top two favourite singers , but this arrangement did not do justice to mr. PAUL FRANCIS WEBSTER'S sublime lyrics , TONY BENNETT'S version elevated this song to where it should and always will be , one of the greatest love songs of all time .
I was coming out of the bank the other day and I heard this melody. I stood in the doorway to hear a little more. As I walked along I hummed and stated to remember some of the lyrics. I looked up what I thought was the title and heard it after so many years. I was a child and my grandmother would sit at the table,no TV alone and sing softly. This was one of the songs. As I heard it I cried . It’s many years since I lost her, she raised me. Thank you Andy Williams for this lovely song and my memory 💐
There were such great singers back then and I doubt very much that we will see that talent again. I really miss that era and I am fortunate to have lived through that time.
I am mesmerized by the beauty of Elizabeth Taylor. This movie she was breathtaking as was the others. Elizabeth was so kind and compassionate which made her more beautiful.
Singer Andy Williams had his peak career years during a time when weekly variety shows hosted by singers were the main evening TV fare. Music, particularly singing, was the main form of entertainment, both through media and when regular people got together. Andy often gets lost among his peers like Tony Bennet, Perry Como, Dean Martin, Robert Goulet, Mel Torme, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Steve Lawrence, Nat King Cole. But imo, he has one of best voices of all time. The timbre, his delivery, his musical choices, just superb. He deserves more attention and recognition.
Who's listening this song in 2021 like me? Memories of those far-off day? Memories tinged with sadness ? Reminiscences and Memories crowded your mind? Long lost friend? or heyday of your life? I want hear your stories. Leave your beautiful stories at my door I'll leave them for the one who waits behind. From the shadow of your smile..
Just watched "The Sandpiper" on TCM a few days ago. The song is so beautiful, sets the tone for such a gorgeous film, with the Big Sur coast of California as its backdrop. Elizabeth Taylor was never more beautiful than in this film, in my opinion.
I am always....Englebert, Andy,Frank,Deane, Nat,Johnnie Mathis,Bing,Al Martino,Connie,Patsy,Loretta,Tammy,Percy Faith,Henry Manconi, could go on and on. Wonderful memories,wonderful country....Vietnam changed it all.
@De St No, now there is sex, only sex, no love. If you want to see what love is you must watch The Cranes are flying, Russian movie. There is no love now but only sex.
The shadow of your smile When you are gone Will color all my dreams And light the dawn Look into my eyes My love and see All the lovely things You are to me Our wistful little star Was far too high A teardrop kissed your lips And so did I Now when I remember spring All the joy that love can bring I will be remembering The shadow of your smile

@@thepearlatelier4256 ….. My older brother appreciated fine music far earlier than me and, because we shared a bedroom and he owned the old fashion AM-FM radio, I had to listen to his …. “Clunkers”. Andy Williams was one of them and as I matured in music appreciation, I too came to find his style simply timeless. Moral of the Story? CLUNKERS RULE ….. sometimes 😁.
@@ROCKYtheSquirril i love all the older singers but especially Andy Williams because my parents played his records and his voice is so mellow and lovely.
Gorgeous story, scenery, actors and music! Beautifully romantic! The country was definitely simpler then! Less populated, cleaner, and much simpler-- no electronic devices and instant news. Classic cars were beautifully designed! The country is now a hectic argumentative Tower of Bable with different philosophies contradicting one another and loss of freedom and liberty. Can you imagine someone just building a "luxury shack" in Big Sur now? Back then women dressed beautifully- not cheap. People also had MANNERS and didn't wear pajamas to the grocery store. The era of great music ended in the late 70's with classic rock. As far as the envious argument of "privilege" many of these actors came to the US with nothing but talent and ambition.
Andy has a velvet voice and it always brings me comfort and makes me feel safe. My parents used to play Andy Williams Albums in the living room. As I got older I really appreciate Andy and others. Never hear this kind of thing today.
@@rmp7400 I agree. Many of the voices today are plainly offensive. Of course, there are good voices too. The kind of music has changed. You can't sing about booty with a gentleman's voice.
In my 50’s now, I’m starting to enjoy crooners like Andy Williams, Matt Monro, Frank Sinatra, etc. Maybe I’m getting older but I always did enjoy classic movies.
The same has happened to me. All those singers you mentioned were uncool and old peoples music when i was young. Now I appreciate their vocal talents for what they are - brilliant singers and consequently, beautiful songs.
If you are 15-20 years old and here listening to this song, congratulations you have my respect. We need young people like you so that our real music can continue to exist. Jun 2020
С первых звуков комок в горле. Воспоминания. Прекрасная музыка, прекрасный голос, прекрасные артисты и то, что прошло навсегда, но никогда не уйдет из памяти...
Согласна с каждым Вашим словом. Лучшее в песнях ,музыке и певцов подарил нам 20 век. Сейчас ничего для души нет, а жаль.Я слушаю только иностранную музыку и песни.Россия февраль 2023.
@@ninazalesskaya3977 я думаю, что мы с Вами счастливые. Вся наша молодость, да и зрелость прошли рядам с прекрасной музыкой, замечательными фильмами, интересными спектаклями и умными книгами. Мы - счастливые!!!
The real singers of the 20's through 50's are now ready to be reborn. I doubt they will reach the standard of excellence of the original group, but the opportunity is there for the taking! Those that feel they can, should go for it!
The original power couple , sadly they couldn’t live with other or be happy without each other. But they sure made their mark on this boring old world , their candles shown bright for as long as they could and boy didn’t they light up our lives.
Thank for “The Shadow of Your Smile”, Andy Williams’ sweet full voice and the stills from “The Sandpiper”. There is wisdom in that movie. In the scene with Elizabeth Taylor in the white jumpsuit, she is longing to know married love. And knows she won’t have it with him.
2:37 😢 I feel sad hearing this song it makes me feel sad but I think of my grandmother who sadly passed away in late April this year. Thankyou Andy Williams ❤
I wrote a short story titled "The Shadow of Your Smile," which was later collected in the anthology Prism. The story recalls a time in Corfu when we "borrowed" a small fishing boat and headed into the Aegean Sea. My fellow pirate serenaded a lass with that song as I rowed toward the rising moon. It was quite a night.
This beautiful song reminds me of my baby brother RAFAEL (TOTO), who had down syndrome & passed away at age 55 . This was one of his favorite songs which he used to sing while I was on the piano or guitar..I never got over his passing, I HOPE WHEN MY TIME COMES I GET TO BE WITH HIM. Maybe by then my depression goes away. I LOVE YOU, TOTO & I'LL SEE YOU THEN ALONG WITH MA & PA.🙏🙏🙏
Adette, if you don't know Him, ask the Lord Jesus into your life and you will see a major change, an uplifting, a joy, a purpose in life. Then stay with Him all your life and when your time comes, through Him you will see your beloved family again. Jesus, our Saviour, is all you need to see your life change. God bless you my sister. 🙏
Oh GOSH. I just heard this SONG this evening. Took me back All those years ago. Tears 2 my eyes for all the ones I have loved and Lost. Andy Williams thank you. Beautiful.
I always weep when I hear this, as it makes me think of both my parents, especially my mother, who are gone now. Both of them had beautiful, heartfelt smiles and you could tell everything you needed to know about them when they smiled. The shadows of their smiles are all that is left.
Beautifully said Janice, I was born in the mid 50s, my mum and Dad had all Andys LPs....plus it reminds me of a much happier time when things were simple they don't make music like this anymore, BTW...I saw this movie as a teenager and cried, Elizabeth and Richard superb in the roles...
The years I lived in Monterey were magical. So many women who were so beautiful in their own, individually way. This song brings it back to me in ways strange but delightful. I will not return there again. My life has changed and the magic can not be repeated. But I have the memories and Big Sur is not so far away.
I can still remember her smile, her laugh, the sound of her voice, and everything about her, all the way back to 1964. I still love her, with all of my heart, even though we could never get together as husband and wife. Very tender memories.
@@clarencefernando3968 It is amazing how she stays in my mind; she doesn't go away, and I don't want her to go away. I keep in touch with her sister, who told me when my love died of cancer. She said, in an email to me, "Your story is like a fairy tale that could have ended with the glass slipper fitting!" Oh! How I wish that could have happened. True love never goes away. The desired result may never come to fruition, but that true love stays in our mind forever (especially if it is our first love).
@@blogex3445 your love story reminds me of Matt Monro's song " I will wait for you" . Listen to it, you'll find your whole life in Matt's song. My friendly advice to you, unknown buddy : it is time you finally find a real, tender woman to care about you. And to love you. Wake up from your slumber. Greetings from France.
Andy Williams ("Moon River") had a beautiful voice. So did his 3 older brothers, I saw them in a video singing and they were ALL talented and!their quartet was amazing! This song, "The shadow of your smile" won best song in 1966 -- Natalie Wood announced it, Bob Hope was the emcee. Sadly, they're all gone now, wonderful people, great song, good times long ago.
I was a child when I was introduced to Nat. I cried when he died & my first introduction to cancer. His voice was so soothing, his smile & talent made me appreciate melody.
The shadow of your smile When you are gone Will color all my dreams And light the dawn Look into my eyes My love and see All the lovely things You are to me Our wistful little star Was far too high A teardrop kissed your lips And so did I Now when I remember spring All the joy that love can bring I will be remembering The shadow of your smile Now when I remember spring All the joy that love can bring I will be remembering The shadow of your smile À mon tant aimé papa, qui adorait cette chanson. Amour éternel et infini à toi.
The 50's, 60's, 70's was a 'great era' of music, be it pop, rock, folk, ballads, jazz, movie themes...all of it! I feel so blessed to have experienced that time (and music) during my growing up years- grade school, HS, college days, young adulthood. Special, beyond words. 'The Shadow Of Your Smile' is certainly one of those songs that remains ever-fresh in one's heart.
Hard to believe this was recorded in 1965. I was only 19 but the beauty and depth of feeling in this song has never left me. Songs of those days had meaning. I absolutely loved Elizabeth and Richard. Always hoped they'd make it as a couple. They were so beautiful! I am so glad I still remember it so clearly.......
Loved this movie. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to take my mom on a tour of the California coast. The bus ride on the Big Sur was awesome yet a bit frightening. That is where this movie was filmed. Took the bus 3 hours to complete the trip. There were no barriers along the 2 way road to prevent cars or buses from falling down cliff. This was in the early 80s. I read that the song was written for this movie. RIP mom.
One of the 10 best singers of all time in our country. Different style, soft, unique transporting you to another world. God bless Andy, wherever you are.!
I can only agree with those who have such memories of those simpler times ....beautiful music. So enwonderful to dance to and enjoy our love. Thanks. Andy
Saw Andy's concert w Henry Mancini in Tulsa 1962ish n again at Branson 20+ yrs ago sans Henry...also saw Frank live in Kansas City '74... since then everything else has simply been dessert... yes I'm old school but learned very well...
My mom loved Andy Williams’ singing. She belonged to the Columbia record club and had most of his albums. I grew up listening to him from one side of the album through the other. His voice is the “gold standard” of male vocalists in the 60’s through today. Thanks mom for the musical memories! Love you!! 🥰
Beautiful song video.Thanks USA musical artist Andy Williams. Thanks Elizabeth Taylor...from The Sandpiper film 1965. Thanks nipstertunes for uploading. (Sep 23,2021). R.I.P Andy Williams,Elizabeth Taylor.
Una bellísima voz como la de Andy Williams, toda la hermosura de Liz Taylor con su pareja Richard Burton y una playa espectacular... ¡qué más se puede pedir!
I miss Andy Williams & his classic style. What a beautiful movie. Yep, this takes me back to a time when life was wonderful & enjoyable. Precious memories are wonderful.
Liz a beauty?! She's short, obese, with cellulite buttocks and dysfunction of the thyroid. If in the streets I wouldn't notice that she exists. But I'm from another generation.
I have listened to this romantic song since 1960's and am still listening to it now in 2020. I enjoy deeply the melody and lyric and miss Richard Burton and the lovely Elizabeth Taylor forever!
Not only beautiful melodies, also beautiful lyrics! I truly miss the peacefulness of those golden times we all took for granted! We were so spoiled back then, if only we could have found a way to have kept that innocence! I'm the king of wishful thinking!
When Liz looks into Richards eyes..... all you see is love. Such magic. Melts my heart every single time. They don't make people like that anymore or singers like Andy Williams
Great photo clips from the movie -- A beautiful lady (look at her smile at 0:42!), her handsome man, a great singer, all people who left us behind, but never to be forgotten, as is this lovely song, by Johnny Mandel, which he co-wrote with Paul Francis Webster, and it won the 1965 Academy Award for Best Original Song and the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1966. Many artists sang and played this song (as did I) and it is still being played and sung! Great movie as well, filmed at one of the most beautiful spots on earth, California's Big Sur! (RIP, to Elizabeth, Richard, Andy and whoever else was connected to the movie and song who is no longer with us.) THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE: (Intro:) "One day we walked along the sand, One day in early spring, You held a piper in your hand to mend its broken wing; Now I'll remember many a day, And many a lonely mile, the echo of a piper's song, the shadow of a smile. The shadow of your smile, when you are gone, Will color all my dreams, And light the dawn; Look into my eyes my love and see, All the lovely things you are to me; Our wistful little star was far too high, A teardrop kissed your lips And so did I; Now when I remember spring, All the joy that love can bring, I will be remembering, the shadow of your smile."

The country is now a hectic argumentative Tower of Bable with different philosophies contradicting one another and loss of freedom and liberty. Can you imagine someone just building a "luxury shack" in Big Sur now? Back then women dressed beautifully- not cheap. People also had MANNERS and didn't wear pajamas to the grocery store. The era of great music ended in the late 70's with classic rock. As far as the envious argument of "privilege" many of these actors came to the US with nothing but talent and ambition.
Andy has a velvet voice and it always brings me comfort and makes me feel safe. My parents used to play Andy Williams Albums in the living room. As I got older I really appreciate Andy and others. Never hear this kind of thing today.

There are still good men with golden voices...
they just have not been offered recording contracts anytime recently ..
Melinda querida cuanta razon tienes el unico cantante actual que se acerca a estos monstruos del espectaculo para mi es Michael Buble.
@@rmp7400 I agree. Many of the voices today are plainly offensive. Of course, there are good voices too. The kind of music has changed. You can't sing about booty with a gentleman's voice.
Elizabeth Taylor, has the most beautiful eyes l' ve ever seen 💔
This must be rated as one of the most beautiful melodies, song of all time
Absolutely.
No Doubt💜
Andy Williams...Hard to find a better voice.
Elizabeth Taylor + Andy Williams = absolute dream 💕💕
My father's favourite singer. He passed in '76 and I think of him when I hear Andy Williams' voice. Thank you for posting.
In my 50’s now, I’m starting to enjoy crooners like Andy Williams, Matt Monro, Frank Sinatra, etc. Maybe I’m getting older but I always did enjoy classic movies.
The same has happened to me. All those singers you mentioned were uncool and old peoples music when i was young. Now I appreciate their vocal talents for what they are - brilliant singers and consequently, beautiful songs.
How nudes
U it
They created beautiful music for centuries.Good luck and all the best.
Elizabeth Taylor was so incredibly beautiful and Andy Williams was a marvelous singer.
If you are 15-20 years old and here listening to this song, congratulations you have my respect. We need young people like you so that our real music can continue to exist. Jun 2020

@@rosieyung6184 yep !
в 15 эту мелодию не слышал...только " the man i love".....сейчас 45 и много песен из прошлого стали доступны - талантливые композиторы раньше были
Love that song and that film.Where have all these beautiful romantic things in life gone.
С первых звуков комок в горле. Воспоминания. Прекрасная музыка, прекрасный голос, прекрасные артисты и то, что прошло навсегда, но никогда не уйдет из памяти...
Согласна с каждым Вашим словом. Лучшее в песнях ,музыке и певцов подарил нам 20 век. Сейчас ничего для души нет, а жаль.Я слушаю только иностранную музыку и песни.Россия февраль 2023.
@@ninazalesskaya3977 я думаю, что мы с Вами счастливые. Вся наша молодость, да и зрелость прошли рядам с прекрасной музыкой, замечательными фильмами, интересными спектаклями и умными книгами. Мы - счастливые!!!
Your correct. Times change, but human desires for love and connections to other people never will...
Слияние голоса,мелодии и текста…звучит божественно 😊Благодарю🙏❤
Божественная музыка!!!! Спасибо за прекрасные ностальгические воспоминания!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍👍👍👍
How true!
The real singers of the 20's through 50's are now ready to be reborn. I doubt they will reach the standard of excellence of the original group, but the opportunity is there for the taking! Those that feel they can, should go for it!
his singing is impeccable...great voice...great phrasing...Unique interpretation...a rarity fot its quality that will live forever...
The original power couple , sadly they couldn’t live with other or be happy without each other. But they sure made their mark on this boring old world , their candles shown bright for as long as they could and boy didn’t they light up our lives.
..such a 1960s song and sound..I miss those years...my teenage years...
I loved his voice. He had a way of wooing his audience. It's too bad he went so soon. Thank goodness for his records. We will never forget him.
How did we lose such beauty? Where have such wonderful people and music gone? Who took this from us??
Também me pergunto isto.
Thank for “The Shadow of Your Smile”, Andy Williams’ sweet full voice and the stills from “The Sandpiper”. There is wisdom in that movie. In the scene with Elizabeth Taylor in the white jumpsuit, she is longing to know married love. And knows she won’t have it with him.
Some of us live our whole lives and never know it…
2:37 😢 I feel sad hearing this song it makes me feel sad but I think of my grandmother who sadly passed away in late April this year. Thankyou Andy Williams ❤
I wrote a short story titled "The Shadow of Your Smile," which was later collected in the anthology Prism. The story recalls a time in Corfu when we "borrowed" a small fishing boat and headed into the Aegean Sea. My fellow pirate serenaded a lass with that song as I rowed toward the rising moon. It was quite a night.
I cannot find any song more spiritually and nostalgically therapeutic than this one to cure the present moody Covid-19!
Ojalá y pudieran subir la película. Es hermosa
This beautiful song reminds me of my baby brother RAFAEL (TOTO), who had down syndrome & passed away at age 55 . This was one of his favorite songs which he used to sing while I was on the piano or guitar..I never got over his passing, I HOPE WHEN MY TIME COMES I GET TO BE WITH HIM. Maybe by then my depression goes away. I LOVE YOU, TOTO & I'LL SEE YOU THEN ALONG WITH MA & PA.🙏🙏🙏
Adette, if you don't know Him, ask the Lord Jesus into your life and you will see a major change, an uplifting, a joy, a purpose in life. Then stay with Him all your life and when your time comes, through Him you will see your beloved family again. Jesus, our Saviour, is all you need to see your life change. God bless you my sister. 🙏
Beautiful song , and beautiful Elizabeth.
Hello
Oh GOSH. I just heard this SONG this evening. Took me back All those years ago. Tears 2 my eyes for all the ones I have loved and Lost. Andy Williams thank you. Beautiful.
I concur.
I was young then, and it was simpler. Now I’m old and have those memories when I hear this music.
Beautiful song! I love these older romantic songs of yesteryear!♥️♥️♥️
I always weep when I hear this, as it makes me think of both my parents, especially my mother, who are gone now. Both of them had beautiful, heartfelt smiles and you could tell everything you needed to know about them when they smiled. The shadows of their smiles are all that is left.
💯
Do not cry for your parents. Be happy you had wonderful people as parents. God bless you.
Beautifully said Janice, I was born in the mid 50s, my mum and Dad had all Andys LPs....plus it reminds me of a much happier time when things were simple they don't make music like this anymore, BTW...I saw this movie as a teenager and cried, Elizabeth and Richard superb in the roles...
LOVE is ETERNAL...Know You were Blessed with LOVE from Parents who Loved You, Eternally.
Janice. Your dear parents are still smiling, in Heaven, & you will see them again one day smiling @ you, welcoming you into HIS Kingdom. Mary
Such poetry and poignant memories of old lost loves 😢❤
Yes Andy Williams & Elizabeth Taylor just beautiful you couldn't ask for anything better. Two of the best stars .Thankyou for sharing. ♥️❤♥️❤
I feel all the same way.Thanks for sharing.
The years I lived in Monterey were magical. So many women who were so beautiful in their own, individually way. This song brings it back to me in ways strange but delightful.
I will not return there again. My life has changed and the magic can not be repeated. But I have the memories and Big Sur is not so far away.
I can still remember her smile, her laugh, the sound of her voice, and everything about her, all the way back to 1964. I still love her, with all of my heart, even though we could never get together as husband and wife. Very tender memories.
❤
@@Daria-bx1fy Thank you very much. Your smile is greatly appreciated.
Sad to hear your love story.Good luck and all the best.
@@clarencefernando3968 It is amazing how she stays in my mind; she doesn't go away, and I don't want her to go away. I keep in touch with her sister, who told me when my love died of cancer. She said, in an email to me, "Your story is like a fairy tale that could have ended with the glass slipper fitting!" Oh! How I wish that could have happened. True love never goes away. The desired result may never come to fruition, but that true love stays in our mind forever (especially if it is our first love).
@@blogex3445 your love story reminds me of Matt Monro's song " I will wait for you" . Listen to it, you'll find your whole life in Matt's song. My friendly advice to you, unknown buddy : it is time you finally find a real, tender woman to care about you. And to love you. Wake up from your slumber. Greetings from France.
Andy Williams ("Moon River") had a beautiful voice. So did his 3 older brothers, I saw them in a video singing and they were ALL talented and!their quartet was amazing! This song, "The shadow of your smile" won best song in 1966 -- Natalie Wood announced it, Bob Hope was the emcee. Sadly, they're all gone now, wonderful people, great song, good times long ago.
I was a child when I was introduced to Nat. I cried when he died & my first introduction to cancer. His voice was so soothing, his smile & talent made me appreciate melody.
The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes
My love and see
All the lovely things
You are to me
Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
À mon tant aimé papa, qui adorait cette chanson.
Amour éternel et infini à toi.
About 50 years ago I would hear my grandmother play his records. What memories. *sigh*
jack002tuber I was listening to his records when I was in love. Now we’ve been married 50 years and still love Andy Williams!
Andy takes me back to my childhood and I get a gut feeling I wish I was there NOW!
The 50's, 60's, 70's was a 'great era' of music, be it pop, rock, folk, ballads, jazz, movie themes...all of it! I feel so blessed to have experienced that time (and music) during my growing up years- grade school, HS, college days, young adulthood. Special, beyond words. 'The Shadow Of Your Smile' is certainly one of those songs that remains ever-fresh in one's heart.
Until the 80s, the 80's actually were a nice era.
Hard to believe this was recorded in 1965. I was only 19 but the beauty and depth of feeling in this song has never left me. Songs of those days had meaning. I absolutely loved Elizabeth and Richard. Always hoped they'd make it as a couple. They were so beautiful! I am so glad I still remember it so clearly.......
Beautiful song... Won an Oscar...
Meu cantor preferido tenho seus Álbuns . Não dou e nem empresto.amo está linda voz.
My mother loved this song
and the associated movie
which we saw together.
Sadly she died tragically
not long after that.
May she RIP. ✝️
Loved this movie. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to take my mom on a tour of the California coast. The bus ride on the Big Sur was awesome yet a bit frightening. That is where this movie was filmed. Took the bus 3 hours to complete the trip.
There were no barriers along the 2 way road to prevent cars or buses from falling down cliff. This was in the early 80s. I read that the song was written for this movie. RIP mom.
All I can say about this is that Andy was an angel sent down for us! His calming ways will never be forgotten. Stay blessed everyone...
One of the 10 best singers of all time in our country. Different style, soft, unique transporting you to another world. God bless Andy, wherever you are.!
I can only agree with those who have such memories of those simpler times ....beautiful music. So enwonderful to dance to and enjoy our love. Thanks. Andy
The color of your eyes, the smile on your face. Nobody can come close to those ever. Thank you for sharing those incredible moments.
Saw Andy's concert w Henry Mancini in Tulsa 1962ish n again at Branson 20+ yrs ago sans Henry...also saw Frank live in Kansas City '74... since then everything else has simply been dessert... yes I'm old school but learned very well...
My mom loved Andy Williams’ singing. She belonged to the Columbia record club and had most of his albums. I grew up listening to him from one side of the album through the other. His voice is the “gold standard” of male vocalists in the 60’s through today. Thanks mom for the musical memories! Love you!! 🥰
Oh Elizabeth!! No one compares to you. Richard and your one true love. How beautiful they were.
❤
Beautiful song video.Thanks USA musical artist Andy Williams.
Thanks Elizabeth Taylor...from The Sandpiper film 1965.
Thanks nipstertunes for uploading. (Sep 23,2021).
R.I.P Andy Williams,Elizabeth Taylor.
Una bellísima voz como la de Andy Williams, toda la hermosura de Liz Taylor con su pareja Richard Burton y una playa espectacular... ¡qué más se puede pedir!
The world was simply a better place with Andy Williams in it. Cheers!
AMEN!!
I miss Andy Williams & his classic style. What a beautiful movie. Yep, this takes me back to a time when life was wonderful & enjoyable. Precious memories are wonderful.
And it makes us recall our precious Elizabeth Taylor
Is that Liz Taylor? What a beauty! Andy Williams can sing. Seen him in person many years back, great voice..
Liz a beauty?!
She's short, obese, with cellulite buttocks and dysfunction of the thyroid. If in the streets I wouldn't notice that she exists.
But I'm from another generation.
Who is listening in 2024???
Eu Brasil ❤❤❤
From Belgium ❤
Me
I'm. From Argentina
Argentina,❤
Andy Williams. The most perfect singer of his day on his worst day.
I just have to thank God for living and listening to a work of art like this.... Congratulations to those who share this truth.. 2020
I have listened to this romantic song since 1960's and am still listening to it now in 2020. I enjoy deeply the melody and lyric and miss Richard Burton and the lovely Elizabeth Taylor forever!
A mythic couple.
THERE IS JUST NOTHING LIKE THIS ANY MORE.
Great music great singer thank-u for this beautiful music❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful Liz Taylor , divine Andy Williams (may they both RIP) - wonderful music - it really doesn't get any better than this. Thank you for posting
Thanks so much for watching, listening and commenting. Best wishes :))
Not only beautiful melodies, also beautiful lyrics! I truly miss the peacefulness of those golden times we all took for granted! We were so spoiled back then, if only we could have found a way to have kept that innocence! I'm the king of wishful thinking!
When Liz looks into Richards eyes..... all you see is love. Such magic. Melts my heart every single time. They don't make people like that anymore or singers like Andy Williams
I agree on it.
A refreshing view of the past.
Hi Vanessa! How're you doing?
Found this while on Autoplay. Stunning...especially the film of Liz Taylor at her young and beautiful best! 6.2020.
IMHO this song remains the most beautiful song that has ever won an Oscar. It is simply SUBLIME on every level.
Great photo clips from the movie -- A beautiful lady (look at her smile at 0:42!), her handsome man, a great singer, all people who left us behind, but never to be forgotten, as is this lovely song, by Johnny Mandel, which he co-wrote with Paul Francis Webster, and it won the 1965 Academy Award for Best Original Song and the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1966. Many artists sang and played this song (as did I) and it is still being played and sung! Great movie as well, filmed at one of the most beautiful spots on earth, California's Big Sur! (RIP, to Elizabeth, Richard, Andy and whoever else was connected to the movie and song who is no longer with us.)
THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE:
(Intro:) "One day we walked along the sand, One day in early spring, You held a piper in your hand to mend its broken wing; Now I'll remember many a day, And many a lonely mile, the echo of a piper's song, the shadow of a smile.
The shadow of your smile, when you are gone, Will color all my dreams, And light the dawn; Look into my eyes my love and see, All the lovely things you are to me;
Our wistful little star was far too high, A teardrop kissed your lips And so did I; Now when I remember spring, All the joy that love can bring, I will be remembering, the shadow of your smile."
Thank you RUclips Team for this great playlist. It inspires a lot while One is working !!
What a magic voice RIP the great Andy Williams
