Smith (band)

[1] They had a blues-based sound and scored a Top 5 hit in the United States in 1969 with the Burt Bacharach song "Baby It's You", featuring Gayle McCormick on lead vocals.

They attempted to chart their song "Now I Taste the Tears", produced and arranged by Ron Budnik, but the track had a melancholy sound and was not commercially successful.

Subsequently, Gayle McCormick (who had started her career singing songs by Tina Turner, Etta James and others) was added as a front woman and lead vocalist.

The band's singles "Take a Look Around" and "What Am I Gonna Do" reached the charts, but the group broke up after two albums.

[1] The band's hit "Baby It's You" was featured in Quentin Tarantino's Grindhouse film, Death Proof.
