It definitely does.After all these years this song has become one of my favorites by the Carpenters. It should have done much better on the charts and would have if radio programmers were not so "anti" anything Karen and Richard put out by 1977. This arrangement also has a "You Don't Have to be a Star" vibe to it which was released 8 months prior and co sung by my second favorite female artist!

To me, this single is the smartest song they did in the later half of their career while Karen was still with us!
It took me a few listens back then to notice, but I finally confirmed it in The Musical Legacy that this is one of those songs when the backup vocals had contributions by someone in addition to Richard or Karen, adding three non-Carpenter voices in the back up. It is not entirely their trademark sound that we were so used to, but it doesn’t stray too far. It’s really nice.
Amen!Having men singing those high harmony sounds never sat right with me and is one of the reasons I can’t really listen to any of their live concert recordings.
