Q:  "I don't know if you have seen the movie "My Girl 2"? Towards the end when Vada (little girl looking for her real mom) she is watching a video of her mom singing a song.  Do you know that name of the song and who sings it or where I would find it?  I don't know all the words but some are......smile when your heart is breaking, smile what's the use in crying.........all you do is smile."  Thanks- Paula

A:  Hi Paula-

Thank you for your question: "...Do you know that name of the song and who sings it or where I would find it?  I don't know all the words but some are......smile when your heart is breaking, smile what's the use in crying.........all you do is smile." 

I haven't see n the movie, so I'm not sure who is singing that particular version, but the song is "Smile".  I would guess that it is probably Nat King Cole since his is one of the most popular and commonly played versions.  It reached #10 on the Billboard charts in 1954.   Sunny Gale and David Whitfield also charted with this song in 1954 (19 and 25 respectively).  In 1959, Tony Bennett's version reached #73; in 1961, Timi Yuro reached #42; in 1962, the duo Ferrante and Teicher reached #94; and in 1965, Betty Everett and Jerry Butler landed at #42.

Unfortunately, this song did not make the My Girl 2 soundtrack.  You can do a search on amazon.com to find it by various artists.  I recommend the NCK version though. You can find it here: Nat King Cole - The Greatest Hits.
