Chris Montez, cantor norte-americano que fez muito sucesso no Brasil e no Exterior nos anos 60, interpreta "The Shadow of your smile", música de Johnny Mandel e letra de Paul Francis Webster. A canção está presente no LP "The more I see you", lançado em 1966, com arranjos de Herb Alpert, que também assina a produção ao lado de Tommy LiPuma. Trata-se de um dos clássicos da música mundial e já foi gravado por nomes como Barbra Streisand, Astrud Gilberto , Tony Bennet, Keiko Lee, Sarah Vaughan, Blossom Dearie, Johnny Mathis, George Benson, Ray Anthony & His Orchestra, Kenny G, Gerry Mulligan, Engelbert Humperdinck e outros. No Brasil, ganhou versão intitulada "Adeus às ilusões", interpretada pelos cantores Antonio Marcos e Wanderley Cardoso.
O cantor Chris Montez obteve o primeiro grande hit mundial com "Let's Dance", gravado em 1962 na Monogram Records, o que o credenciou a se apresentar em vários países, como na Inglaterra em show com Tommy Roe (intérprete de "Dizzy") e os "novatos" The Beatles em 1963. Depois vieram outros êxitos, como "The more I see you", "Call me", "Hey baby", "The very thought of you", "Time after time", "Sunny", "Loco por ti" e outras. A sua influência musical é a latina, já se apresentou no Brasil, e gravou em inglês duas músicas da Bossa Nova: "One note Samba" (Samba de Uma Nota Só), de Tom Jobim e Newton Mendonça, e "The girl from Ipanema" (Garota de Ipanema), também de Tom Jobim em parceria com Vinicius de Morais.

Confira a letra de "The shadow of your 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 andd so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The Shadow of your smile

  • Keep posting more Chris Montez! Thanks!

  • Another great "Bossa Nova" style song of the '60s cocktail/martini era. I remember my mom wearing a "cocktail ring" and my dad in his black suit and tie dancing to this song. I would have been about 11 or 12. Wonderful memories, wonderful music.

see all

  • Lost my virginity with this song playing on a dansette portable record player! I was 15 she was 17, and we were together 8 years, Without our relationships starting with this song, it would have been 4 years as I am sure the replaying of this song kept us together a little longer each time we heard it together....
