The Wonder of You was an LP album featuring The Sandpipers, released by A&M Records in May 1969 with catalog number SP 4180. The album was released by A&M in the United Kingdom with the title Kumbaya and catalog number AMLS 935. Other international releases included Australia (World Record Club R02377, different cover), Canada (A&M SP-4180), Germany (A&M 212 066), and Mexico (A&M AML/S-1024, titled La Maravilloso De Ti).
The May 3, 1969 issue of Billboard reviewed the LP saying, "This album, with the persuasive rhythm of the Sandpipers' singing, is definitive of easy listening at its best. The popular trio's material is no small part of the LP's success, and includes their current single, "The Wonder of You," their not to be imitated version of "Let Go," the Oscar-winning "Windmills of Your Mind," and the much recorded "Yellow Days." Credit producer Allen Stanton and arranger Nick DeCaro for a job very well done."
The album reached #194 on the Billboard charts. Two singles from the album made the charts: "Let Go" at #36 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and "Kumbaya" at #38 on the UK singles chart.
The album was combined with Misty Roses in a 2006 CD release by Collectors' Choice Music.
