Bobby Darin

Bobby Darin's 1966 Sings The Shadow of Your Smile marked the superstar's return to Atlantic Records.  The album, arranged by Shorty Rogers and Richard Wess, was titled after the Oscar- and Grammy-winning Johnny Mandel/Paul Francis Webster tune from the 1965 film The Sandpiper.  Joining "The Shadow" were its four fellow  Oscar nominees for Best Original Song: Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini's "The Sweetheart Tree" (The Great Race), Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "What's New Pussycat" (from the film of the same name), Michel Legrand, Jacques Demy and Norman Gimbel's "I Will Wait for You" (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) and Hal's brother Mack David and Jerry Livingston's "The Ballad of Cat Ballou" (Cat Ballou).  The album, rounded out by standards and a Darin original, has four bonus tracks in Edsel's digipak reissue all culled from original singles: "We Didn't Ask to Be Brought Here," "Funny What Love Can Do," "The Breaking Point" and "Silver Dollar."
