Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
This is absolutely beautiful. Played with such sensitivity, great melody -so simple and lovely harmonies. One of the best pop songs ever I think . Love Flying Machines version of Baby Make It Soon also ... Thank you guys x
@Edman910 Got that right! I was a kid when this came out and my sisters name was
Rose Marie Wingle. I thought it was cool that her name was the same! I never saw this video before. The guy singing has good stage presence unlike the dancing talent mocking buffoons of today. It was standard in those days that you needed to have a signature voice and unique sound and these guys did have it. No one in music today
could write a song like that--it has artistic beauty! A musical treasure!
i'm 22 at the present time, but i first heard this song when i was 12 and fell in love with it. i haven't heard it in a long time, but i was listening to a music channel on tv with my dad just now and this song came up, so i felt a need to find it again. thanks for the upload :)
THIS SONG IS WANDERFULL,REMENMBER WHEN WAS YONG IN RIO DE JANEIRO !! AT THE CARNIVAL "71" HITH MY GILR AND I KISS HER SO MUCH, SO MUSH , BUT I´M NOT SAPATÃO, I`M A WOMAN IS THE TRUE K K K K K ..
Can anyone tell me the names of ALL 4 (four) of the Guy's here on the video? Such a GREAT song. Our music of the 60's is the BEST! So great to be a teenager then, times were so simple then compared to now. We knew what music was!!! Not the Hip-Hop & Rap of today.
@jandogg55 the lead singer is Tony Newman also lead singer of Pinkerton' s assorted colours who had a hit with " Mirror, mirror" written by Tony himself.
Smile a Little Smile for Me (Rose Marie) is a timeless piece of beauty that takes us back to 1969, the last year of America's innocense... to the time that Charlie Manson changed everything.
@lmt61251 actually America lost its innocents on Nov 22nd 1963 when the New World Order killed Kennedy and blamed Hoovers informant (Oswald) for the assassination. Kennedy was in the process of dissolving the Federal Reserve and having the treasury start to reprint real American currency instead of this worthless fiat garbage the Fed issues which is backed by nothing. Charles Manson is nothing compared to the mass murders names Baron Rothchild and David Rockefeller.
This song always brings me back to my childhood my father always sang the chorus to me smile a lil smile for me ROSEMARIE as that is the name he gave me
O my God! This song was playing when we parked our camper that Friday, evening of July 1969. I hated going to that campground in NW Ohio every summer weekend I hated it until that partcular weekend in July '69 when I met Julie. We had parked over night as we did every Firday since June 13 and on Saturday morning, about 8:30am I got up a;nd first saw Julie. She was from an area Junior High as I would find out. Saturdays at the Campground pool would never be the same with Juliie.
@jeff62rey Isn't it amazing how these songs on Youtube trigger such nice memories? Some of them are almost painful because they remind me of how sweet and simple life could be back then, but it's great reading posts like yours.
WIKI: The Flying Machine is best known for its major hit single in 1969, "Smile A Little Smile For Me", which peaked at number 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart (on Kapp Records' Congress record label) Their first record which was self titled was released by Janus Records in 1969. By 12 December that year they had sold a million copies of the record, and it was awarded a gold disc by the R.I.A.A.
In my opion,1969 was the last year of great artists/songs.And I was born in 1961.Things were okay in the '70s and '80s,went down hill in the '90s and today crap sells.Lady GagMe and Beiber suck like a vacuum cleaner.Kids today don't know what good music is
My nani (grandma) used to sing this to me all the time, subbing "jujubee" for rosemarie, to make me feel better and on my birthday (today), she's been gone now for 20 years, so I come to youtube to listen to this version. Make sure to treasure your loved ones.
@jujubell40 - I remember hearing this song on the car radio when I was 7 yrs. old in 1969. My mom was taking me to have a surgery on my ears, and I was scared. It is kind of haunting to hear this beautiful song again. It does make me think of the loved ones that are gone since then...thank you...
@jujubell40 Aww..you sound just like me. My mom used to change it to "Kelley Marie" and I thought that was really the lyric until I got older. It's sad that they're gone but we are lucky we have good memories.
@MrHQfighter10 short but sweet....thats what i love about a tune in the 60's it was all about harmony good hooks and always about love and caring...except black sabbath thats a different story
That's all it takes. Well-written, great musical atmosphere and lyrics, simple chords and melody, but conceived in such a way that it is still totally unique and compelling. A little three-minute universe all its own. Yep, that's what '60s and '70s music was all about. That's why we love it, miss it, and can't help compare today's music with stuff like this. It's the Real Thing.
I like the song and all, but the video is just marginal. How on EARTH did this video manage to snag 791 comments? Is it that whole "six degrees of separation from Justin Bieber" thing?
BTW, notice the pleather jerkin with cloth sleeves on the lead singer? I had one of those back then - absolutely NO insulation value! If you went outside without a coat in the winter, it was as if you were holding a wet cloth against your chest. Good times....
@MrQuefus Noone is hideous :) people's idea of beauty has changed. She is gorgeous. I wouldn't exactly want someone like Britney starring in this music video. It's such a beautiful song :)
@MrQuefus The girl is 1960's-vintage stark, raving, beautiful. Give it time son, you're just a little "confused." You'll start liking girls, you'll see...LOL!

@ChairgirloftheBored lift up your pretty chin, don't let those tears begin, you're a big girl now, & you'll pull thru somehow...smile a little smile for me, rose marie... ;)
@hamslice.. Your comment is probably the most stupid I have ever read anywhere on any forum.. Throw some chlorine into your genetic pool. How stupid can you get?
Why do so many of these songs get ruined by sucking the rich original production, the life, right out of them when digitized? All vocals and percussion. Bleh!!
@hamslice151 -- sorry man .. that's not Keith Moon .. but Paul Wilkinson on drums and he (Moon) did not die smoking pot. Not that any of this is relevant to this video!
@revmo37 Hi Revmo -- Unfortunately this band was a one hit wonder (more or less) ... the lead singer was a guy named Tony Newman --- there is some confusion about James Taylor .. as he had a band called The Flying Machine ... I don't thing it was the same one though ... but maybe.
i dont think the guys in the video were the guys that really wrote & sang this song. so many bands were put 2gether after a stu dio band, with great productin made it a hit song. then they were like/ we gotta find a band to tour wit it
I like this version of this song.The version they play around here is the one where some idiot is singing,ba ba ba ba ba baaa ba ba baaa to the last part where the horn plays the tune near the end.It sounds awful and drowns out the horn
Unexpectedly (because it wasn't typical Britpop of the time) a Top 5 hit in the States, but didn't chart here in the UK. Macauley and MacLeod at their best (the writers), hard to believe this was from a later incarnation of Pinkerton's Assorted Colours, whom I last saw doing the UK C & W circuit in the 80s.
The gentle and heartfelt music of the 60's during my emotionally formative years laid the foundation for me and has served me very well. I love women with all my soul. I love girls even more. Thank God for the tunes that taught my young heart.
Free energy technology exists!But the Oil coporations life depends on covering this up,if you want a real Free energy Magnet Motor, get the blueprints at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,The revolution begins!
Whenever I think of this song I always think about shooting up with heroin. I've never done it but it's got that kind of drag tempo...like Sway by the Stones which probably IS about dope. JUST A THOUGHT!
Well what can i say ?----Such a lovley song --great chord sequence and chorus --great pop. I had forgotten about this band and this song ---its so mellow. Ive just got from playing a gig and Im listening to this with a cuppa and some biccies ----- not really rock and roll I know --but so what .... lol
i use to sing this song to myself in high school for comfort cause no one ever wanted to date me or even take me on a date... i still don't get asked on dates and have never had a boyfriend- i'm 25 lol.... had to revisit this one.
@yellow85 Hi! I checked out your channel in an attempt to gain insight as to why you would never have been asked out on a date & why you've never had a boyfriend. After just a little investigation, I've concluded that you must have either gone to an all-girls school, or your class must have been full of shallow, narrow-minded boys who were intimidated and felt threatened by your intelligence & charisma. Why no dates now? Those boys have been replaced by men of the same mind. You're alright :)
I was born in 1998. My favorite song is Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix. My grandpa used to sing this to me. Wow... I will save our generation... Or at least I'll try. Oh yeah, and Justin Bieber has no talent.
I pray my four year old is as cool as you are when he's twelve. BTW, check out 'House Burning Down' off of the same Hendrix album, 'Electric Ladyland'. Or better yet, get the album if you haven't already. 'All Along the Watchtower' is on it too.
@bluebooba1 woah, a comment on how young you are and the fact you like this music, PLUS a comment about how Justin Bieber sucks, two, count them , two original things to say in the comment box of a song from the late 60s. congrats on that my friend. real good
@42JHU42 I really didn't ask for your opinion. I'm not going to toss around bad words on such a beautiful song's video. But please, don't get in a fight with a 12-year-old on youtube, because you're making a true (I'm sorry I have to) ass of yourself.
@QueenWebster I'm sure since "RoseMarie" was released late in 69 it went into 1970, so your memory is probably just recalling when you heard it, which may have been in 1970
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@bluebooba1 the fact that you like this music mean nothing. nobody cares if you like 60s music, hey im 15 and my favorite band is the melvins, do you care? no so shut the fuck up. btw the melvins ffucking kickass.
this record i bought as a kid back in 1969 when visting my dad back when i was in foster care allways reminded me of him and how much i wished i could go home made me sad dads passed on now and still love to hear it makes me think of the days with him
Gracias por publicar esta canción .... bueno oírlo una vez más después de todos estos años y sigue siendo grande! Me recordó a muchos años felices en los años SA.
When I was a kid, I thought this was The Beatles..... I guess because it's THAT good!! One of the best chorus' ever! Even today.....so sweet!! Great post and thumbs way up. ~KK
this is such a wonderful song , so glad to have lived in the 60's and early 70's , the music of today does not do it for me . most of the music today sounds so angry or just plain awful . but i am sure that my parents said the same thing about heavy metal , but i really think music since the mid 80's is not very good , thanks
1969 December entered the army.
Remembered this song which brought a smile to my face!

The gentle and heartfelt music of the 60's during my emotionally formative years laid the foundation for me and has served me very well. I love women with all my soul. I love girls even more. Thank God for the tunes that taught my young heart.

Whenever I think of this song I always think about shooting up with heroin. I've never done it but it's got that kind of drag tempo...like Sway by the Stones which probably IS about dope. JUST A THOUGHT!

i use to sing this song to myself in high school for comfort cause no one ever wanted to date me or even take me on a date... i still don't get asked on dates and have never had a boyfriend- i'm 25 lol.... had to revisit this one.

@yellow85 Hi! I checked out your channel in an attempt to gain insight as to why you would never have been asked out on a date & why you've never had a boyfriend. After just a little investigation, I've concluded that you must have either gone to an all-girls school, or your class must have been full of shallow, narrow-minded boys who were intimidated and felt threatened by your intelligence & charisma. Why no dates now? Those boys have been replaced by men of the same mind. You're alright :)

I was born in 1998. My favorite song is Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix. My grandpa used to sing this to me. Wow... I will save our generation... Or at least I'll try. Oh yeah, and Justin Bieber has no talent.

I pray my four year old is as cool as you are when he's twelve. BTW, check out 'House Burning Down' off of the same Hendrix album, 'Electric Ladyland'. Or better yet, get the album if you haven't already. 'All Along the Watchtower' is on it too.

@42JHU42 I really didn't ask for your opinion. I'm not going to toss around bad words on such a beautiful song's video. But please, don't get in a fight with a 12-year-old on youtube, because you're making a true (I'm sorry I have to) ass of yourself.

QueenWebster 6 months ago
@QueenWebster I'm sure since "RoseMarie" was released late in 69 it went into 1970, so your memory is probably just recalling when you heard it, which may have been in 1970

this is such a wonderful song , so glad to have lived in the 60's and early 70's , the music of today does not do it for me . most of the music today sounds so angry or just plain awful . but i am sure that my parents said the same thing about heavy metal , but i really think music since the mid 80's is not very good , thanks
