Sam Smith on CBS Sunday Morning

A STAR IS BORN: CBS Sunday Morning aired an illuminating “up-close and personal” segment on Capitol’s Sam Smith yesterday, as reporter Anthony Mason accompanies the 22-year-old breakout star on a visit to his hometown of Great Chishill and gets a firsthand account of the writing and recording of “Stay With Me” from Smith and co-writer Jimmy Napes. “It was possibly the scariest night of my entire life,” he says of his pivotal March 29 appearance on Saturday Night Live. “Also, my manager cleverly on the morning said to me, ‘This is the most important night of your entire life,’ which is ridiculous. But it was!” The piece comes in at a tidy seven minutes and change, and we’ve put it right in front of you, so you have no reason to miss it. (10/13a)
