For All We Know. As the follow up to We've Only Just Begun, I thought it was too mellow and would never have given it a chance to crack the top ten let alone make it to # 3. I appreciate the ballad much more today as the song and I have both aged over four decades.
Songs I hate, that I have never grown to appreciate are REASON TO BELIEVE, and YOU'RE THE ONE and WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE....maybe in 10 years time I will appreciate them
Should Richard have left it in the vaults? I thought fans wanted every utterance, regardless. Why criticize?
I happen to really like "Rainbow Connection". Karen does a great job, whether she liked the song or not, and Richard's treatment of it is first class all the way. It's one of the highlights of AS TIME GOES BY and it's nice to have it on the GOLD compilation.

There was a fan's ask question on the official website that Richard responded to about this track and the fan asked something about leakage in Karen's vocals during the song (he said no) but I mean good grief I could never in a million years ask a question like that, the song was a gift to us from Richard, a work lead none the less....why dissect and criticize something that we were not suppose to hear in the first place but Richard was gracious enough to finish it and I for one am glad he did. As Time Goes By CD doesn't get enough recognition it deserves.
I fail to understand the question: Why criticize?
Question:
“Regarding ‘The Rainbow Connection’ - My question is whether there may be a leakage of a sound where Karen sings 'dreamers and meeeeee'.
I'm not sure if this is the reason why you left it out as an outtake to begin with.
Richard Carpenter:
In the matter of leakage, there is none.“
