Refreshing my memory a bit with some Klaatu comments regarding:
Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft
"...on March 15th, 1953. They called it……………. 'Contact Day'."
"...they (Carpenters) were much taken with our endeavor and decided to record "Calling Occupants" with a full orchestra and choir… much to our delight.
Actually, We were both fans of The Carpenters long before this.
Karen's beautiful voice and those lush arrangements and those chromatic chord progressions…"
"... we see it, or should I say, we hear it… as the ultimate compliment.
This song is unlike anything that The Carpenters had attempted previously and they nailed it.
I think their version is more accessible than ours… more mainstream…"
".. right. It was… and is… extremely gratifying to hear one of our compositions rendered so beautifully by a group that is so respected and revered."
