The Windmills Of Your Mind - Michel Legrand - Played by Nylon Tapestry

"The Windmills of Your Mind" (Les moulins de mon cœur) is a song with music by Michel Legrand, as well as Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman, and lyrics by the Bergmans, from the 1968 film The Thomas Crown Affair. Noel Harrison performed the song for the film score. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1969. (Harrison's father, the British actor Rex Harrison, had performed the previous year's Oscar-winning "Talk to the Animals"). The opening two melodic sentences were adopted from Mozart's second movement from his Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra.
Dusty Springfield's version of the song from her album Dusty in Memphis is also well known; this version reached #31 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and #3 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart in 1969.[1] This recording also appears on the soundtrack to Breakfast on Pluto (2006). Other artists who have covered the song include Alison Moyet, Swing Out Sister, Edward Woodward, Parenthetical Girls, Esthero, Anne Clark and Sting, whose version was used in the 1999 remake of The Thomas Crown Affair, Sharleen Spiteri on het "the movie Songbook" album.
