TONY BENETT- THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE (1966)



Resulta curiós com algunes vegades es produeix una sincronicitat en aquells projectes que un emprèn i que sembla que un munt de coses s'ajunten per acabar encaminant-ho tot !
Aquesta versió és de 1966, l'any que jo vaig nèixer!
Us deixo una mica d'informació (extreta de la wikipèdia) sobre la peça:
