Superb instrumental version of this legendary 70s track. Many nice loops here!

Smiling Faces Sometimes" is a soul song written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for the Motown label. The song was originally recorded by The Temptations in 1971. Producer Norman Whitfield had the song re-recorded by The Undisputed Truth the same year, resulting in a number-three Billboard Hot 100 position for the group. "Smiling Faces" was the only Top 40 single released by the Undisputed Truth, and was included on their debut album The Undisputed Truth.

I know this is a mega classic (from 1981), but it is still SO GOOD time after time (especially when re-edit) that it deserved a post
