Great taste shyc! Especially like the often overlooked and forgottenThompson Twins and Alison Moyet. "King for a day" being my favourite song by the former while  Yazoo's (Alison Moyet's old group with Vince Clarke) "Nobody Diary" is a timeless classic....such simple yet lasting melodies that i can't help but to re-post it haha.

I know Madge's songs almost never appear in this thread. But check this out.

 

The demo version of Substitute for Love from Ray of Light. It was then titled No Substitute for Love.

 

Giving credit where credit is due, it's gorgeous, me thinks, even for me, a non-Madonna fan. (Ray of Light was a  brilliant album tho) How did this become L-U-V Madonna as the years progressed?

artist nat king cole
words by john turner and geoffrey parsons
music by charlie chaplin
"Smile" is a song based on an instrumental theme used in the soundtrack for the 1936 Charlie Chaplin movie "Modern Times". Chaplin composed the music, while John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added the lyrics and title in 1954. In the lyrics, the singer is telling the listener to cheer up and that there is always a bright tomorrow, just as long as they smile. 
The song was originally sung by Nat King Cole, charted in 1954. It was also covered by Cole's daughter, Natalie, on her 1991 album.
