“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.
