Can't Smile Without You
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can't Smile Without You was a song by singer Barry Manilow. Written by Chris Arnold, David Martin, Geoff Morrow.
It was released on his album Even Now in 1978. The song was released as a single in 1978 where it reached the number one spot on the U.S. A&C, and the number three spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
On behalf of the songwriters, publishing company Dick James Music sued George Michael for plagiarism in the mid-'80s, claiming that the 1984 Wham! single "Last Christmas" lifted its melody from "Can't Smile Without You." The case was settled out of court.
The song was featured in the 1994 film Four Weddings and a Funeral, sung during the first wedding service.
