Without A Song

All this talk about the Carpenters-Neil Sedaka incident in 1975 got me thinking about the cover version of Neil's best known song Karen & Richard recorded and then released the following year. Once I listened to it again, I noticed something different about it compared to other Carpenters tunes where Karen takes the spotlight vocally. Anyone else know what it is? If no one guesses it today, I'll reveal the answer Tuesday.
As for the song itself, it's a quality cover, though like many other Carpenters fans, I wish Karen and Richard had done a slow, ballad version of the tune. I would say as well, because I like having both a fast and slow version of this classic song. It's a rare tune that can work in both tempos.
