Laughing Boy (Dutch: Lachende jongen) is a circular oil-on-panel painting by the Dutch artist Frans Hals. It belongs to the tronie genre and was painted around 1625. It is in the collection of the Mauritshuis.
Another circular portrait with a laughing boy is in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and shows a soap bubble on the right. A third version exists where the boy is grasping a whistle or flute. Several other circular portraits of laughing boys, all painted around the same period, with or without a bubble or a whistle, have been attributed to Hals in the past. Of the twenty or so paintings identified in 1974 by the Hals expert Seymour Slive, he considered only three to be authentic.
Laughing boy with flute or whistle, Slive catalog nr. 27
Laughing boy with flute or whistle, Slive catalog nr. 27
Laughing boy with a soap bubble, Slive catalog nr. 28
Laughing boy with a soap bubble, Slive catalog nr. 28
The Hals expert Claus Grimm rejected the other two and claims only this one is authentic. In his own time, Hals' works were copied by art students. In the late 19th century young artists in the impressionist movement were impressed by the loose brush strokes and wet-in-wet painting technique of these small tondos, and it is possible that a few of the many copies on the art market today date from this later period.

Mary Esther Wells (May 13, 1943 – July 26, 1992) was an American singer who helped to define the emerging sound of Motown in the early 1960s. Along with the Supremes, the Miracles, the Temptations, and the Four Tops, Wells was said to have been part of the charge in black music onto radio stations and record shelves of mainstream America, "bridging the color lines in music at the time."
With a string of hit singles composed mainly by Smokey Robinson, including "The One Who Really Loves You"", "Two Lovers" (1962), the Grammy-nominated "You Beat Me to the Punch" (1962) and her signature hit, "My Guy" (1964), she became recognized as "The Queen of Motown" until her departure from the company in 1964, at the height of her popularity. She was one of Motown's first singing superstars.
Mary Esther Wells was born near Detroit's Wayne State University on May 13, 1943, to a mother who worked as a domestic, and an absentee father. One of three children, she contracted spinal meningitis at the age of two and struggled with partial blindness, deafness in one ear and temporary paralysis. During her early years, Wells lived in a poor residential Detroit district. By age 12, she was helping her mother with house cleaning work. She described the ordeal years later:

What’s great about Cal is that he’ll laugh at anything, a laugh so infectious it’ll bring a smile to your face. He and Ted have already formed a bond, as Ted makes him laugh and smile as Cal watches him lovingly. Teddy making his little brother Cal laugh.

Laughing Boy is drowned,
Sailed across the sea.
Whisky was his daily bread,
His like we'll never see, again.
And you should have seen him dancing on the tables,
It was just like a play.
Laughing Boy, Laughing Boy it's over,
Laughing Boy, Laughing Boy it's over.
Laughing boy is drowned,
Danced on nimble toes
Angels wept at Caeser's head
He sang the "Old Dark Rose"
Sang it for free,
Stay awhile, fill your glass, have another, yeah (just like a play).
Laughing Boy, Laughing Boy it's over,
Laughing Boy, Laughing Boy it's over.
Dublin streets are quiet tonight
There's a shadow on the water
Dublin streets are quiet tonight
There's a shadow on the water...
He can't stand up,
He can't stay down,
He wants to stay up,
He wants to stay down,
He hates himself,
No, he hates a crowd
He wants to be alone,
No, he wants to be surrounded
Laughing Boy, Laughing Boy it's over,
Laughing Boy, Laughing Boy it's over.
Dublin streets are quiet tonight,
There's a shadow on the water
Dublin streets are quiet tonight,
There's a shadow on the water
Dublin streets are quiet tonight,
There's a shadow on the water
Dublin streets are quiet tonight,
There's a shadow on the water...
Walking on the water, walking on the water
