Early in their career, the Carpenters recorded several Beatles songs, including "Ticket to Ride," "Help!," and "Nowhere Man." At one point, I think they were even a bit concerned that they would be perceived as a Beatles cover band.
What other songs from the Beatles' catalog do you think would have worked great for a Carpenters treatment? I feel that "You Won't See Me" from RUBBER SOUL would have been great for the Carpenters. "No Reply" from BEATLES FOR SALE might also have been very good.
Notably, though the Carpenters' tuneful style would seem to match well with Paul McCartney's composition style, the three Beatles songs that the Carpenters recorded and released were all John Lennon compositions.
