The Smile File

Art School was the unofficial music school for British musicians in the 60s and 70s and in 1967 CJ Smith attended Ealing Art College. It was there he started writing songs with Freddie Bulsara. This led to the formation of the band, Smile. Bulsara became Freddie Mercury, Smile became Queen and CJ remained true to the blues music that had inspired him from his early teens.
