Where would Karen Carpenter be without Paul Williams's great LYRICS ?? Who the heck knows but as they say, THE REST IS HISTORY !!

Is there any way you can upload this album to Mediafire or some other file sharing site? The CD is IMPOSSIBLE to purchase.

This is good. Tastefully laid back. These guys were in hot form during this period. Dig the bass and the organ at 1.42.

Really like this version...raw and real.

The song originally debuted in a commercial for Crocker National Bank in California in the late winter of 1970, with Williams providing the vocals.

I do too! It's interesting to hear this rare original version, and how The Carpenters created a new arrangement and made it their own. I gotta hand it too you; Paul Williams, though small in size(5'), is HUGE on talent! Two other of his songs 'Rainy Days and Mondays" and "I Won't Last a Day Without You" were also remade by Richard and Karen. There will never be another songwriter like Paul!

[batterymaker]

And to think that was originally for a BANK COMMERCIAL!

[garymaher]

The stuff Williams and Nichols wrote and demoed in this period is absolutely fantastic!
