Wonderful presentation of a great tune. This clip is from a PBS special "The 70s & The Way We Were."

  • Her voice gets better by the decade. Call it what you want but I think it comes from a life of clean living. Look at the Osmonds: Their voices are as good as they were 40 years ago.

  • @MuscleMikal You know that you are right. No doubt. Thanks for the note. Charlie

  • Ummm,,, this was written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach, NOT Richard Carpenter.

    I wanna PUKE when credit is given to the Carpenters wrongly.

    I had the privilege of hearing Juice Newton perform "Sweet, Sweet Smile".

    She never recorded it...

    Still, a WONDERFUL performance by Debby. She not only surprises me - she shocks me, like a TASER. She'sTHAT GOOD.

    My other two favs of hers are: "Are You On The Road to Loving Me Again", and her cover of the Beatles' "From Me To You".

  • @gyrgrls This is Richard's arrangement and you must admit they had a "good" recording of this great song. I think that is all they said in the intro. Thanks for the note and for watching. Charlie

    Oh, God, yes. But the trouble with Marie, is she is too busy making dolls, instead of doing what she does best - singing. She really angered a lot of fans when she went on her QVC stint.

    Marie Osmond, one of the finest female vocalists on the planet - and she's MAKING AND SELLING PORCELAIN DOLLS?

    Sorry, I just had to vent.
