from the movie and TV series M*A*S*H), "Close Enough for Love", "Emily"
and "A Time for Love" (nominated for an Academy Award). He has written a
great many film and television scores, from “The Verdict,” “Staying
Alive”, “Caddyshack” and “Escape from Witch Mountain” to “An American
Dream” and “The Sandpiper” - the love theme for that film, "The Shadow
of Your Smile", which he co-wrote with Paul Francis Webster, won the
1965 Academy Award for Best Song and the Grammy Award for Song of the
Year in 1966.
Johnny Mandel is a recipient of the 2011 NEA Jazz Masters Award. In
