Today’s theme is a happy one – ‘Smiling And Laughing‘.  It features songs from Leo Sayer (I Hear The Laughter), Neil Sedaka (Laughter In The Rain) and The Monkees (Laugh). Class acts include Peggy Lee (I’m Gonna Laugh That Man Right Out Of My Life) and Patsy Cline (When You Need A Laugh). LGBTI favourite Johnny Mathis turns up again (A Certain Smile).
