The Movie Song Album is a 1966 studio album by Tony Bennett.[2] The album consists of songs from films, opening with the theme from The Oscar, in which Bennett had recently appeared. With this project of such high quality of song material and collaborators, he was to describe the album in his autobiography as his "all time favorite record".[5]

Johnny Mandel was the musical director, and he and Neal Hefti and Quincy Jones arranged and conducted their own compositions on the album. Luiz Bonfá played the guitar on his two songs, "Samba de Orfeu" and "The Gentle Rain". The pianists Tommy Flanagan, Jimmy Rowles and Lou Levy all collaborated, each on one song.

Bennett's recording of "The Shadow of Your Smile" won Mandel and Paul Francis Webster the Grammy Award for Song of the Year at the Grammy Awards of 1966, and Bennett performed the song at the 38th Academy Awards, where it won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

The album debuted on the Billboard Top LPs chart in the issue dated March 12, 1966, and remained on the album chart for 29 weeks, peaking at No. 18[6] it also debuted on the Cashbox albums chart in the issue dated March 12, 1966, and remained on the chart for in a total of 23 weeks, peaking at No. 26[7]

On November 8, 2011, Sony Music Distribution included the CD in a box set entitled The Complete Collection.[8]

Reception

William Ruhlmann of Allmusic's said "he devoted himself exclusively to movie themes, everything from "The Trolley Song" (Meet Me In St. Louis) to "Days Of Wine And Roses." Some of the tunes were not first-rate, but in "The Shadow Of Your Smile" and "The Second Time Around", Bennett found material worthy of him[2]

Billboard described the album as "a guaranteed chartbusting LP", saying "Outstanding movie songs are given exceptional"[9]

Record Mirror described the album as "Tremendous" saying "it's tremendously warm, swinging, sentimental, sensitive"[3]
