Timi Yuro: Smile (1961)

Smile
written by John Turner, Geoffrey Parsons, and Charlie Chaplin
performed by Timi Yuro
issued as Liberty F-55375 in September 1961

The music was originally written by, silent film icon, Charlie Chaplin as the theme for his 1936 classic, "Modern Times." In 1954, words were added and Nat "King Cole had a hit. But, this is my favorite version, reaching #9 on the Easy Listing charts and #42 on Billboard's Hot 100 in November 1961. Yuro's soulful delivery really sells this for me - good stuff!
