"Keep on Smilin'" was sent to Europe in 1977 to be released as the second single by John Paul Young from the
J.P.Y. album as it was in Australia. German disc jockeys preferred the B-side, "Standing in the Rain", and flipped the single. The result was a charting success across Europe: the song reached No. 2 in
Belgium, No. 3 in
Netherlands, No. 4 in
Germany and No. 11 in
Austria. "Standing in the Rain" was released as the A-side in Australia in December 1977. It peaked at number 12 on the
Kent Music Report Singles Chart. In 1987, Young issued
The Golden Dance-Floor Hits Vol. 10, a three-track extended play on German label
ZYX Records. == Track listing ==
