This is one of the many songs where you can hear the instrument of her voice and that phrasing and diction that was edible as the apple she was seen taking a bite from on one of the many pictures... By the way I first heard this one night on late night radio station and raved about it to everyone but no one believed me. Yet it would be impossible for any one to mistake such a voice and the Lady it belonged to.

@LukeNGood369 So many performers today have "cookie cutter" voices - they all sound alike! I miss the days when you could turn on the radio and recognize a singer's voice within the first few notes. There are no distinctive voices like Dusty Springfield, Karen Carpenter, Dionne Warwicke, and Petula Clark on the radio anymore. "American Idol" makes it worse by requiring singers to sing different genres. Unfortunately, a lot of good singers with distinctive styles has been eliminated that way.

Karen, Dusty, Barry White, we've lost some very good and talented people. And what do we have left? American Idol, blah.

I have always loved this song and I have to wonder if it could have been the one that would have relaunched the Carpenter's had Karen surrived her heart attack in 1983... While Dusty does a beautiful job here.. I can only imagine Karen's potent reading... One thing is for sure Richard brought in a one of the best replacements when he chose Ms. Springfeild. May she and Karen rest in peace..

[FlyersBob21]

I remember the first time I heard this song, I thought it would have been a great song for Karen Carpenter, not knowing it was Richard's song. I was fortunate to be able to meet The Carpenters after a concert in Philadelphia. Truly great talents! This is a great song - Sally, this one's for you.

richard did this song justice using Dusty to sing this remarkable version but we can only wonder if Karen could've only sung this....but sadly no so a big thumbs up for this

Dusty is an admirable stand-in for Karen. Both were giants in this genre. I miss them both, terribly. One of my favorites of Dusty.

I'll tell ya...this is one of my favorite songs to slow dance too and NO ONE..NO ONE can sing it like Dusty! Rest in peace, dear lady! Those of us who appreciate a TRUE vocalist miss you very much!

This past Christmas, I read an unbelievable quote from Dusty in the new book which lists every studio and live song she ever performed, together with her comments per song from over the years. For this song, she had a sore throat, did the take anyway without all the overdubs that Richard subsequently put on...and then regretted hearing it, thinking that if she'd been able to do a retake, she could have made her final vocal take much more majestic.
