http://www.SherwayMusic.com As Brooke Sheilds shared with the World on July 7/09:
One of the few recordings of the late Michael Jackson singing Charlie Chaplin's SMILE' . One timeless artist tribute to another.
Perhaps the most popular and well-known performer since Charlie Chaplin, Michael Jackson ascended to worldwide pop stardom just as a fledgling television network began broadcasting music videos on a regular basis in 1981. The combination of these two forces revolutionized video art through the 80's and 90's, making the music video a cornerstone of the pop culture conversation.
Facts; Composed by Charlie Chaplin in 1936 for his last silent film 'Modern Times' . Lyrics added in 1954 by Turner and Parsons and became a Nat King Cole standard. The version you are hearing is Michael Jackson singing in the 1995 Album HIStory.
NEWS UPDATE Jermaine Jackson sings Smile at the Michael Jackson Memorial L.A. July 7 2009

  • What is the name of this movie?

  • Beautiful!

  • Brook Shield, thanks soooo much for uploading this, my Greatgrandfather was a mime ( amoung other arts), and this has always been one of Michael's favorite songs of mine. Michael has not yet been recognized as a mime as much as I believe he should be. He is recognized as an all around artist though so I guess thats cool. I know he loved Charlie Chaplin so hopefully I will be able to keep this video on my channel for posterity. Thanks again♪♪♪ and Love♪

  • I miss Michael Jackson T_T
