The songs that I heard on The Carpenters were "Please Mr. Postman", "Only Yesterday" & "There's A Kind Of Hush (All Over The World)" which has castanets. There is also castanets playing on The Raspberries song "Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)" (from 1974 "Starting Over") that peaked at # 18 (6 weeks in Billboard Top 40) back on November 9, 1974. The lead singer of that group, Eric Carmen also did "Make Me Lose Control" (which also has castanets) & peaked at # 3 back on August 13, 1988. Wonder if there is any more that has castanets on Carpenters songs or any other artist or group songs??? Matt Clark Sanford, MI
