| "A Song for you" is a Carpenters' song, dammit!!! |
|
Just like "Superstar." (although it's also okay to call it a Bette Midler song). Karen Carpenter is the one who made all these songs well known but does she get the credit? One of the top female voices ever? NO.
Drives me bonkers...

| 3. And both those tunes were penned by Leon Russell, werent' they? |
|
Great compositions, and her voice is incredible.
The Carpenters were roundly slammed for being "unhip," but I don't think there's a case to say they weren't talented.
They were.

| 6. As Richard Carpenter said in an interview: |
|
You can say you don't like us, but you cant say we weren't any good. Because we were.
Agreed.

| 7. Yes. I wish Karen Carpenter had not suffered as she did. We could |
|
certainly use some of the Carpenters' musicality in today's pathetic, percussive, and violent music industry.
