I believe if it was released as a single it would have been a massive hit. It\u2019s an honor for me to record a reggae version of this song because it was written and originally recorded by a truly iconic artiste,\u201d said MitchDiSinga.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cI believe my version of <strong><em>\u2018You Just Can\u2019t Smile It Away\u2019<\/em><\/strong> will be well-received by music fans all over the world.
