My dad Henry H.Smith was the original songwriter to A Face in the Crowd. Larry Sparks performed the song for years. Thank you for all of the wonderful comments. It was wrote for my brother Ronnie who fell in love with a much older women who was a friend of the families. On Cindy's wedding day my brother gave her a pale yellow rose he stole from the landlords property where the wedding was held. He was 10 and she was 23. His first love and crush
April Cole Thank you for your Dad's song. Larry's voice is awesome but without the lyrics, the song would never be. Thanks to your brother for the inspiration. Thankyou from the rest of us.

No one - and I mean no one - can put as much feeling and style into singing a Bluegrass song or any other for that matter , as Larry Sparks. Just watch the way he shrugs his shoulders to emphasise a lyric. And those simple ( by todays standards ) but so effective guitar licks of his. You just can't stop re watching his videos over and over again. Thanks for this Mr. Willis Mike in Ontario
