That same Mona Lisa photo was used as the cover for the sheet music!I've never seen this one before...so clever marketing or bad marketing ad for single? Why not show a photo of Karen and Richard but I guess this goes along with no photos from the Passage album.

I have nothing to base this on - but 70s speculation from a teenager.... BUT - I think he schmaltzed things up a bit. The corny jokes on the specials and such... That all seemed to start when Management Three hit the scene... I could be wrong... But it just felt that way to me... Same with John Denver...Thanks! I did not realize that was Weintraub's company. Speaking of which, does anyone think he (Weintraub) made a difference, positively or negatively, in the Carpenters' career at the time he took over? Was the die already cast at that point with Karen and Richard? Or did he add some value? The question just popped into my head and I wonder what the prevailing opinion might be out there (if any)!
Hey, I grew up in Spokane! Not exactly a hotbed of diversity in the 60's and 70's but I was able to see 2 Carpenters concerts there - 1972 at the coliseum and 1974 at the Opera House during Expo 74. Also saw Anne Murray in Spokane and I think that's where I saw John Denver 'in the round'. Spokane liked it's softer concerts.Let's hear it for Spokane!!!!!!

On the radio play section of the Billboard - Spokane was listed as having heavy rotation on Calling Occupants. I'm going to say it's because of your requests!Hey, I grew up in Spokane!

I gotta say, in the later 70's, when I called our Top 40 station, KJRB, to request a new Carpenters single to be played, I tended to hear "That's not on our play list". I gradually migrated to soft rock stations where they would play Carpenters.On the radio play section of the Billboard - Spokane was listed as having heavy rotation on Calling Occupants.
