Songwriter-producer Norman Whitfield had written "Smiling Faces Sometimes" for the Temptations, who released it as a single early in 1971. A few months later, the Undisputed Truth, a vocal group formed by Whitfield in response to criticisms surrounding his use of the Temptations, covered "Sometimes", and hit #3 on the Hot 100, their lone Top 40 hit, and enough to get them on American Bandstand.
Singer Joe Harris had been with the Fabulous Peps a few years earlier, and could've made it big as a solo act.
