Have a Smile With Me is a 1964 album by Ray Charles. In a reversal of the previous concept album Sweet & Sour Tears, this album is filled with humorous songs. In 1997, it was packaged together with 1963's Ingredients in a Recipe for Soul on a two-for-one CD reissue on Rhino with historical liner notes.
