SWEET, SWEET SMILE

Music and Lyrics by Juice Newton and Otha Young

Karen heard this good-time song on a pre-release copy of a Juice Newton album, and correctly thought it would be good for us.  Released as a follow-up to “Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft,” “Sweet, Sweet Smile” wasn’t much of a pop hit, but became a Top Ten hit on the country charts.
