Thank you… Thank you for reminding me of the good times with my Mom when I was growing up. We’d watch this while eating dinner when I was a kid. I’ve raised my sons watching it as well. RIP Johnny Mandel.

RIP Johnny Mandel. Sad to hear it. The best people leave this world too fast. Each month and each week. I have never recorded “The Shadow Of Your Smile” neither “Emily”, though maybe I have sung “The Shadow Of Your Smile” somewhere on the stage long years ago. But you were great.

Farewell to the brilliant Johnny Mandel who wrote exquisite songs and sublime arrangements. I got to spend time with him making a CD of his arrangements with Sherrie Maricle & The Diva Jazz Orchestra. Rest In Peace, Johnny, and thanks for the heart aching beauty.

Here are the opening credits to The Sandpiper—which features the rugged coast of Big Sur, while trumpeter Jack Sheldon (who left us in December) plays the movie’s theme song “The Shadow of Your Smile,” composed by Johnny Mandel.

Saw a post from Michael Feinstein that Johnny Mandel died. He composed the theme from M*A*S*H, The Shadow of Your Smile, Where Do You Start? & Emily from The Americanization of Emily. Also did countless movie scores.
