Opening Number

It seems only right to start this blog with one of the greatest Musical Theatre performers of all time. There are such a wealth of fabulous songs to pick but this one called out to me today. The music is by Charlie Chaplin from his 1936 film 'Modern Times'. Lyrics were added in 1954 by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons. It has been covered by so many wonderful artists but today I chose Judy :)
I love both the melody and lyrics of this song and the simple message that a smile can get you through anything.
