Hvem sang when my little girl is smiling?
Drifters
Jimmy Justice (musician)
På trods af singlens manglende succes tilbød Pye ham en treårig pladekontrakt. Mens han besøgte sin kæreste, som boede i Sverige, sang han på klubber og i radio og tv, hvilket resulterede i hans første store eksponering; i sidste ende fik han et stort hit i Sverige med melodien "Little Lonely One", oprindeligt af Jarmels. Han blev i Sverige i den periode, hvor hans plader begyndte at slå igennem i Storbritannien, og tre af dem nåede den britiske singleliste i 1962: "When My Little Girl Is Smiling" (nr. 9, marts), "Ain't That Funny" (nr. 8, juni) og "Spanish Harlem" (nr. 20, august). Hans version af "When My Little Girl Is Smiling" havde konkurrence fra både Drifters originale nummer (UK nr. 31) og Craig Douglas' cover (UK nr. 9).

Despite the single's lack of success, Pye offered him a three-year recording contract. While visiting his girlfriend, who lived in Sweden, he sang in clubs and on radio and television, resulting in his first major exposure; eventually, he would score a major hit in Sweden with the tune "Little Lonely One", originally by the Jarmels. He remained in Sweden during the time that his records began to break in the UK, with three of them hitting the UK Singles Chart in 1962; "When My Little Girl Is Smiling" (#9, March), "Ain't That Funny" (#8, June), and "Spanish Harlem" (#20, August). His version of "When My Little Girl Is Smiling" had competition from both the Drifters original cut (UK #31) and Craig Douglas' cover (UK #9).
