The worst part of the story about the Biden White House firing staffers who admitted to past marijuana use is the fact that they were told such admissions would not be held against them.
This Motown classic, the only hit for this psychedelic-soul trio, reached No. 3 in 1971.
Written by Motown songwriting team of Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong, “Smiling Faces” was originally given to the Temptations, who recorded a version that clocked in at over 12 minutes for their “Sky’s the Limit” LP in 1971. Plans to release an edited version as a single had to be scrapped when Eddie Kendricks left the group for a solo career, so Whitfield re-recorded it with the Undisputed Truth.
