who sang born with a smile on my face
Stephanie de Sykes De Sykes had a hit in 1974 with the Simon May penned "Born With a Smile on My Face" which reached Number 2 in the UK Singles Chart.[2][3] She also recorded the theme tune to the television programme The Golden Shot with the group "Rain" that same year.[4] The theme song, "Golden Day" was written for them by Lynsey de Paul and Barry Blue.[4] Around this time, the television company ATV Midlands started each day's broadcasting with a short film accompanied by another song performed by Rain with de Sykes singing vocals, "Odyssey" (often incorrectly referred to as "Life is a Beautiful Book"). De Sykes returned to the UK Top 20 a year later as a solo artist with the song "We'll Find Our Day"[3] from Crossroads, which was featured at Meg Mortimer's wedding in the UK TV soap opera in 1975. De Sykes appeared in the show as singer "Holly Brown". She also had a starring role in the comedy Side by Side.[1]
