[justsoulin]

This may glue you a little;

Cuba - Gibson Brothers

[justsoulin]

Can't really argue there Tom

I Am A Clown - David Cassidy (sad clown type)

[justsoulin]

Well I had 2 the other day and you got one. Now the other oldie has disappeared.

So any of these?

another big clown song, a bit older than this one

"Make 'Em Laugh," considered an original song, but a near-plagiarism of Cole Porter's "Be a Clown" from Singin' in the Rain 1952.

"Be a Clown" is a song written by Cole Porter for the 1948 film The Pirate. The song was first performed by Judy Garland and Gene Kelly

Remembered now the other one I'd thought of, Behind A Painted Smile - Isley Brothers (seeing as how you're with Smokey and Tamla) but this was the same year !!!!

Cathy's Clown - The Everly Brothers from 1960

I'd like to put Send In The Clowns but surprisingly, that was mid 70's.

So any other guesses?

[justsoulin]

Pre 1967 Jon ??

(put on a costume) - Enrico Carusso Edited August 21, 2011 by Pretense

[justsoulin]

Is Pretense's post spam? (I can't go to YT)

Jon, Tom was asking for a Clown song earlier than Smokey Robinsons (in time) - that was the thing

Ferry 'cross The Mersey - Gerry & The Pacemakers

[Pretense]

Opera is not spam! Opera is a pretentious gormet meal! And it's had sad clowns before Smokey Robinson!

Anyway...

Like the Beat of a Heart - Dio

[justsoulin]

Hang on a minute please, this game uses song titles and artists, not links. So forgive me Pretense for asking others to verify for me what your "link" is as I cannot open the link.

Yeah, it does look problematic now that I think about it, my bad.
