After hearing this song for the first time last night, I am convinced that Karen could have been a big-time country music star. She sounds so natural on this song and sings it effortlessly. (Though she didn't have a southern accent, Karen did possess a bit of a drawl that could make her sound "country.")
How beautiful is that voice?

SWEET SWEET SMILE by the Carpenters was a surprise country hit for them in 1977. It hit #6 on the COUNTRY charts(or was it #7?) at any rate, it was a hit...Karen could have sung ANYTHING. A voice like that comes along once in a lifetime.

Karen could do a variety of musical phrases.
In Sweet Sweet Smile, the part *..., and if I'm all strung out...* is a perfect example of what she could do..., she phrases those notes like and electric guitar on that part.

???Sw. Sw. Smile is one of my all-time favorites...it's so upbeat...and Karen gives it her all-time best. many songs in 70's I think did very well on country/rock or pop kinds of music. Country music cut in with newer soft rock songs and that's why those days were really a great time to listen to both a country station as well as soft rock or easy listening links.

Yes I have to say this is a nice pick me up song. I love the fiddle and country style almost honkey tonk piano playing. Its little suprise that is was a hit on country radio it is a really great country song. As for Karens reading and vocal well just another example of the ease in which Karen sings in a variety of styles and she never misses a beat she really could sing anything.
