1965: That most transitional of musical times, when the radio airwaves were filled with the sounds of The Beatles and the “British Invasion”, ….. It often goes forgotten that this period in the mid-1960s was also resplendent with Tin Pan Alley gems as well; new songs, written for Broadway Musicals, popularized on so- called “adult” radio stations and, especially, TV variety shows.

They, and others, all recorded the tune, called “I’m All Smiles”. …The tune’s composer, Michael Leonard, reportedly even coached Streisand on her version.  For a while, everyone was singing it on TV, in clubs, and in New York Cabaret, where even today, Minnesota’s Voice Maud Hixson sings it as part of an all-Michael Leonard tribute:
