Vem sjöng when my little girl is smiling?
Drifters
Jimmy Justice (musician)
Trots singelns bristande framgång erbjöd Pye honom ett treårigt skivkontrakt. När han besökte sin flickvän, som bodde i Sverige, sjöng han på klubbar och i radio och TV, vilket resulterade i hans första stora exponering. Så småningom skulle han få en stor hit i Sverige med låten "Little Lonely One", ursprungligen av Jarmels. Han stannade kvar i Sverige under den tid då hans skivor började slå igenom i Storbritannien och tre av dem nådde den brittiska singellistan 1962: "When My Little Girl Is Smiling" (nr 9, mars), "Ain't That Funny" (nr 8, juni) och "Spanish Harlem" (nr 20, augusti). Hans version av "When My Little Girl Is Smiling" fick konkurrens av både Drifters originalversion (UK #31) och Craig Douglas' cover (UK #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).
