You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''Make Me Smile'''" is a song written by [[James Pankow]] for the rock band [[Chicago (band)|Chicago]] with the band's guitarist, [[Terry Kath]], on [[Lead vocalist|lead vocals]].<ref>((cite web |title=Chicago, "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon" from Chicago II (1970): Saturdays in the Park |url=http://somethingelsereviews.com/2016/07/16/chicago-ballet-for-a-girl-in-buchannon/ |website=Something Else! |access-date=April 8, 2019|date=2016-07-16 ))</ref> Part 1 of Pankow's 7-part "[[Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon]]" [[song cycle]]/suite, it was recorded for their second album, ''[[Chicago (album)|Chicago]]'' (often called ''Chicago II''), which was released in 1970.  The song "Now More Than Ever", a separate track from the same song suite, serves as a [[reprise]] of the song and appears edited together with it on many later versions, including a single edit, on several greatest hits collections, and in many live performances.

==Background==
A radio-friendly edit of "Make Me Smile" was released as a single in March 1970, becoming the band's first Top 10 record, peaking at number nine on the U.S. [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] chart.<ref>((cite web|title=Chicago Awards|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/chicago-mn0000110161/awards|publisher=[[Allmusic]]|access-date=2012-08-17))</ref> Pulled from the first movement of the "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon" suite, several changes were made in order to make the song more suitable for radio.<ref>((Cite journal|last=Everett|first=Walter|date=May 2010|title='If you're gonna have a hit': intratextual mixes and edits of pop recordings|journal=Popular Music|volume=29|issue=2|pages=244|doi=10.1017/S026114301000005X|jstor=40926920))</ref> This included a modified introduction and abbreviated guitar solo. Finally, parts of the track "Now More Than Ever" were appended on the end to make a complete, 3-verse song.  

Reviewing the single, ''[[Cash Box]]'' said that "just a grand song to glide along with, the new Chicago offering comes up with even more audience-shattering magnetism than their two earlier singles" and noted the "brisk motion and a fine instrumental styling."<ref>((cite magazine|magazine=Cash Box|title=CashBox Singles Reviews|date=March 21, 1970|accessdate=2023-04-29|page=30|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/70s/1970/CB-1970-03-21.pdf))</ref>  ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' called it a "solid beat rocker" that's "a mover from start to finish, loaded with discotheque appeal. ."<ref name=bb>((cite magazine|magazine=Billboard|date=March 21, 1970|access-date=March 11, 2022|page=76|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/70s/1970/BB-1970-03-21.pdf|title=Spotlight Singles))</ref> ''[[Record World]]'' said that the song was "very happening."<ref>((cite magazine|title=Single Reviews|magazine=Record World|date=March 21, 1970|page=8|accessdate=2023-04-28|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Record-World/70s/70/RW-1970-03-21.pdf))</ref>

When Chicago released their compilation album ''[[The Very Best of Chicago: Only the Beginning]]'' in 2002, they featured a ''new'' edit of the song, with the "Make Me Smile" and "Now More Than Ever" parts segued together again, but without the numerous cuts—the full intro and the guitar solo of the former part, and the full outro of the latter part, were thus included.

"Make Me Smile" was the group's breakthrough hit,<ref>((Cite book|title=Street Player: My Chicago Story|last=Seraphine|first=Danny|publisher=John Wiley & Sons Inc.|year=2011|isbn=9780470416839|page=120))</ref>  in that its success triggered renewed interest in the group's two prior releases from 1969 which had previously failed to reach the U.S. Top 40. "[[Questions 67 and 68]]" had reached #71 that year, but on re-release in 1971 reached #24.  And "[[Beginnings (Chicago song)|Beginnings]]" had failed to chart in 1969, but on re-release in 1971 reached number seven on the Pop chart and #1 on the [[Easy Listening]] chart.

Since the death of Terry Kath in 1978, the vocals for live performances of "Make Me Smile" were handled by [[Bill Champlin]], who joined the band for the recording of ''[[Chicago 16]]'', until he departed the group in August 2009. In shows without Champlin, [[Robert Lamm]] sang the lead vocal. Champlin's replacement [[Lou Pardini]] took over the singing of "Make Me Smile" until his departure in 2022, when keyboardist [[Loren Gold]] sang the song since 2022 alongside his substitute Rob Arthur.
