I Know My First Name Is Stephen
^^^ I wouldn't have been bothered if I'd never heard a Richard lead either. He's heard plenty on the backing vocals and that's where he sounds amazing. It's like being an Olivia fan and hearing John Farrar on back up. It doesn't make me think "oh I'd love to hear him on his own".
That said, he was left with little choice but to release his own album after Karen's passing and, had I never heard him sing lead before, I would still have loved it, because it's rich with all of his usual Carpenters vocal and orchestral arranging licks.
