The Undisputed Truth "Smiling Faces Sometimes" (1971)

Taken from their first 1971 album "The Undisputed Truth"

The Undisputed Truth was a 1970s Motown recording act, assembled by record producer Norman Whitfield as a means for being able to experiment with his psychedelic soul production techniques. Joe Harris served as main lead singer, with Billie Rae Calvin and Brenda Joyce, formerly of The Delicates, on additional leads and background vocals.

"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 was sixteen when this song came out--a white kid from the suburbs--and it gave me a shock, that still exists to this day. Misery, cruelty and injustice for those who give and those who take will always exist, I know that now. All I can do is to be kind to those around me, and hope that they will be kind to me. Peace to all of my YouTube friends. Peace.

Most definitely they don't tell the truth, sadly a frailty of the afflicted human condition.
