Mike Smith
You and your band achieved great fame.
However, relatively few knew you by name.
With numerous hit records topping the world’s charts,
your five-man group won many fans’ hearts.
While you sang lead vocals and played the keyboards,
your fellow band members provided sweet chords.
With “Glad All Over”, “Bits n’ Pieces”, and “Can’t You See That She’s Mine”,
your group produced a sound that was so fine.
From London, you seemed to have conquered the world.
Fans flocked no matter which flag was unfurled.
With songs like “Catch Us If You Can”, and “Because”,
your band garnered much well-earned applause.
Yes, you were a great performer in your day.
I was saddened to hear of your passing away.
(former lead singer of the Dave Clark Five)
