    The song is by Simon Said on Atco an 1975 'Tom Moulton Mix', don't recall if there was a longer 12" or LP version, 7" is 3:23, this song was very popular in local clubs of the day.

    Yes, Wild Fantasy's medley mentioned above included a version of Charlie Chaplin's "Smile".

    Another medley containing Smile was on "Limelight Disco Symphony" by Melophonia:
