who sang the original song windmills of your mind?
noel harrison
the music was composed and conducted by michel legrand, scoring his first major american film. director norman jewison had hoped to hire henry mancini for the project, but he was unavailable and recommended legrand; he wrote his music as long pieces rather than specifically to scene timings, with the film later edited to the music by legrand, jewison and editor hal ashby. in addition, legrand also had to prepare an original song to replace "strawberry fields forever," used as the temporary track for the glider scene. taking quincy jones' advice, legrand worked with the bergmans to compose "the windmills of your mind" and a second song, "his eyes, her eyes"; noel harrison recorded "the windmills of your mind" after jewison failed to get his friend andy williams to do it, while legrand performed "his eyes, her eyes". while the film's score was recorded in hollywood, featuring vincent derosa, bud shank, ray brown and shelly manne, the album re-recording issued by united artists records on lp was done in france under the composer's baton; jewison said it was the favourite score for any of his films.
