Capitol Sam Smith pic

TOP OF THE WORLD, MA: Capitol artist Sam Smith (c) enjoys the view from the Tower with (l-r) Capitol U.K. MD Nick Raphael (who signed Smith), Capitol Music Group CEO Steve Barnett and EVP Greg Thompson and Capitol Records Prez Dan McCarroll, rubbing elbows with Sam's management team. Smith, who sings on Naughty Boy’s international hit “La La La,” just played two sold-out nights at L.A.’s Troubadour and was recently included on the BBC’s “Sound of 2014” list of up-and-coming artists. The roof of the storied Capitol building, of course, provides a remarkable panoramic vista, incorporating mountains that formed over millions of years and hotels that can be rented by the hour. And speaking of the latter, nobody had the heart to say where this photo was going to run. (12/4p)
