What is wrong with his voice? It has a gentle yet slightly raspy quality. Really nice and fits the song like a glove, as far as I am concerned! I've been a musician for 20 years, by the way. :) Also, Richard Carpenter himself provides background vocals on this one as well. How can it get much better than that! To me, the piano is etherial on this one, especially from 2:42-3:00...some of the passages are reminiscent of the intro to "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and that is a high compliment, IMO.

well, he's not a great singer, technically speaking, but his interpreation does convey the spirit of the song, and also the snapshots are just mesmerising. I liked the intrumentation approach better, and I guess that's Richard at the piano.

This is very average but I'm happy to see he's still using Carpenters style overdubs
