Last night in her first ever London appearance, Grammy Award-nominated American alternative singer, songwriter and inventive performer Janelle Monae (Wondaland Arts Society/Bad Boy/Atlantic Records) hushed the crowd with a stunning version of the classic song “Smile” – made famous by the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Nat King Cole and more recently the late Michael Jackson.
Below, watch the full performance of “Smile” from Janelle Monae’s first ever London show at Cargo on November 4th, 2009:
