You MUST listen to this original song from Oliver. "Just To Make You Smile" was written, composed, and sung by him and release posthumously in 2005 on an album titled "Lonely Days". This was his last released record and was to originally include rerecorded versions of Good Morning Starshine and Jean - done HIS was - but these were left off of the album due to licensing issues. This song exemplifies his diverse talents and for many of his fans - is a wonderful message of unconditional love and understanding.
This video is released as part of the celebration of life for William Oliver Swofford (2/22/1945 - 2/12/2000); It's being provided as a small gesture of my humble respect and love for this magnificent man taken from us too soon, yet he left these bits of evidence of his short but accomplished, admirable and humbled life. #BeLikeBill
He was a true renaissance man excelling in virtually every way. He was a loving humanitarian and the kindest, most humble man I’ve ever met. If I could do more to spread his beautiful music, character, and kindness, I would. This channel and his Facebook page reflect my sincere hope that through these efforts, his memory lives on, as it does in my heart. I’m forever grateful for his friendship, his faithful heart, his music, and his enduring love. 💙
