The Flying Machine was a British pop band who are best known for their 1969 American No. 5 hit, 'Smile a Little Smile for Me'.[1]
Career[edit]
The Flying Machine first rose out of the ashes of British band Pinkerton's Assorted Colours. Pinkerton's (as they were often known, for short) had scored a major UK hit with 'Mirror Mirror' in 1966 and continued recording over the next few years. However, by 1969, singer/guitarist Tony Newman, singer/autoharpist/original frontman Sam Kempe,[2] and bassist Stuart Colman from Pinkerton's had teamed up with lead guitarist Steve Jones and drummer Paul Wilkinson to form a new iteration of the group and, with Newman now assuming lead vocal/frontman duties, took the name The Flying Machine.[3]

They are best known for their single in 1969, 'Smile a Little Smile for Me', which peaked at No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100chart (on Kapp Records' Congress record label) It also reached No. 6 on the AC chart. Their first LP, which was self-titled, was released by Janus Records in 1969. By 12 December that year the single had sold a million copies and was awarded a gold disc by the R.I.A.A.[4] The song was written by Tony Macaulay and Geoff Stephens.[5] Despite being released by Pye Records in the band's home country of England, the record did not appear on the UK Singles Chart.
A follow-up single, a cover version of 'Baby Make It Soon', first recorded by Marmalade, achieved the U.S. Hot 100 the following year.[6] A final single, 'The Devil Has Possession Of Your Mind', was released, after which the Flying Machine split up.
Bassist Colman went on to a successful career as a session musician, record producer and BBC Radiodisc jockey.
