The Shadow of Your Smile is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis, released in 1966 by Mercury Records.[1]

The album includes covers of the same two Beatles songs ("Michelle" and "Yesterday") that would be in stores one month later on an Andy Williams album of the same name. Mathis also tackled recent easy listening fare on this album ("A Taste of Honey", "Quiet Nights (Corcovado)") in addition to show tunes from On a Clear Day You Can See Forever and West Side Story.

The Shadow of Your Smile was released on compact disc for the first time on November 6, 2012, as one of two albums on one CD, the second of the two being his previous LP, The Sweetheart Tree (1965).[5] Both were also included in Sony's Mathis box set The Complete Global Albums Collection, which was released on November 17, 2014.[6]
