O.C. Smith was one of those guys who took ten years or more to be an overnight success. He appeared on Arthur Godfrey’s TV show in 1955, struggled for a time, then landed a gig as Count Basie’s vocalist for several years. He finally broke through in 1968 with his cover of Roger Miller’s “Little Green Apples.” However, this was his last Top 40 record. O.C. eventually became a minister.
