Smiler is the fifth solo album by English rock singer-songwriter Rod Stewart.
Stewart also covered Carole King's "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" where 'Woman' is switched to 'Man'.
The release of the album was held up for five months due to legal problems between Mercury Records and Warner Bros.
[1] Musicians appearing on the album included members of Stewart's band Faces, as well as frequent collaborators Martin Quittenton (guitars), Pete Sears (bass & keyboards), and Mickey Waller (drums).
A 1991 CD compilation called 'back 2 back – 2 for 1' combined Smiler with Gasoline Alley.
