After a really bad night’s sleep I am in a miraculously good mood today. Well who wouldn’t be? It’s Friday. Friday around here is a music day and ‘I love your smile’ by American singer Shanice seemed to perfectly fit the bill for today’s vid. I looked her up on YouTube this morning and was very surprised to find that this video had very few views, actually only in the hundreds.
I first came across this track on one of those compilation albums of pop hits and loved it for its happy, upbeat sound and had assumed that although I hadn’t heard of Shanice she must be very popular across the Atlantic in the States. From looking her up on good old ‘WikiWah‘ this morning it seems that she never really did hit the big time. I’m surprised, and her lack of any real recognition somehow proves that sometimes success is dependant upon so many other factors (like sheer luck) over which we have absolutely no control.

Holy crap I used to LOVE this song. I would blast it on my little tape player and sing with my john lennon shades on into my mirror.
This was the last anyone ever heard of her over here in the US. I totally forgot about this song. Love your site btw, you have a new follower.
