"Your Smile Says it All" first came to public attention when Linda Ecker stepped on the dance floor after completing her wedding vows, only to hear, not, as expected, "The Wedding Song," but this surprise 'present' composed by her husband, Charles, and performed, much to her delight, by a live orchestra. From its unpublished origins through six years in a dark and presumably unopened storage vault at a Nashville publisher's office, the song was finally reclaimed by Ecker and produced again in a country re-cast in 2012, featuring Amber Rose, as a 25th Wedding Anniversary present by, and for, the couple. But long ago, it was Michael Stanton who Ecker initially wanted to sing the original, but he was not available at the time. So the young composer put the song into a female POV so that L.A. Pop singer Tina Meeks would sing it for the first time at the Ecker wedding. (Cassette copies of Tina at the recording studio session were passed out to those at the wedding.) "All these years, I have wanted to re-do 'Your Smile Says it All' in a male point-of-view version, and now, with Michael on board as our lead male vocalist and band producer, it seemed like a perfect time." He went on to say -- "This time, it was a surprise Christmas present to Linda, as a way to say 'thank you' for all the years of devotion she has given to me." There are several noticeable differences in this version compared to the ones produced in 1987 and 2012. (The original Pop song is no longer in circulation.) For one, it is sung tenderly by Stanton as a man to his woman, and that meant some minor word changes, such as "lifts me up on a cloud" rather than the more feminine "put me on a pedestal" in the song's previous incarnations. Another counterpoint is in Stanton's stylistic treatment, as producer as well as singer. Call it much more Traditional Country casting than perhaps the "countrypolitan" feel of the Nashville-produced version. So now both contemporary versions of the song are available to the public - two vibrant and emotional recordings for people who are stepping down from the altar to turn and meet those in the audience for the first time as man and wife, or simply for two people in love, whether sung by a woman, or in this case, by a man.
