@arfies I was looking for the same thing because I know it exists and I saw it when I was younger back in the 1970's. It's probably hard to find. I am trying to pass the word on to see if someone does find that.

@northcoastviking People still laugh at me I listen to the Carpenter just about everyday.

@robjankatie I was born August 66, I recall it must have been circa 1975?? I can't remember any pressure that they were uncool, but Sonic Youth gave some modern credibility to the band and they remain a cornerpiece of true musical heritage

I can feel emotion jump into my throat and eyes with that, and I hope they backlash fell on deaf ears, because it truly was that moment described for me, being born in 1966, highly conservative, Christian upbringing, and my folks had this. They also had a piano songbook with Bad Company's first hit in it, and that was a bit mind-blowing!

2:34 Does anyone know if there's a full version to this psychedelic "Goodbye to Love" video??

@TEMPmichaelhansen It's not that the Carpenters were "uncool"; rather, that it was uncool to like soft rock as a Rock 'n Roller in the 70's. But, for however uncool it was to ADMIT it to your friends that you liked the Carpenters, the truth is that we were closet Carpenter groupies big time! How does a red-blooded American teen guy look at KC, then hear THAT voice come out of her, and not fall head-over-heels in love?! And The Solo to "Goodbye..." wasnear as iconic as Stairway to Heaven solo

Carpenters- Goodbye to Love cover by Peachby jelnvin6,904 views
I'll tell you something about that guitar solo - it may have turned a lot of heads (in offense) at the time it was produced, but it represents a somewhat technically advanced piece of music. The chord changes for this tune are not easy to play over, being chock full of secondary dominance, pedal points, and modulation. Peluso conceived of his solo absolutely accurately, not to mention creatively. In other words, this was not just some rock guitar solo - it was much more.

When I was about 11 or 12, the Carpenters were very uncool. However I'll never forget the impression that the solo (end of song) made on me, it got me into guitar playing, and nearly 40 years later, it's still probably my favourite ever solo!
