OK...I guess I've been kind of "overdoing" it with all my personal compilations.
But, here is a new one that I've been in the process of putting together.
It's well known that Karen & Richard have provided all the vocals for most of their tracks.
But every so often, they were provided with a variety of "guest" vocalists
to enhance their recordings, most notably "The O.K. Chorale",
especially on their latest recordings.
I decided to put together a collection of songs featuring these additional vocalists.
Even though I counted at least 10 songs featuring the O.K. Chorale,
I didn't want to make a compilation featuring just that act.
So I chose those 10 songs, plus 9 other songs that featured guest vocalists,
and made the compilation, placing the "O.K. Chorale" songs every other one.
Here is my compilation, with a tentative sequence...and the title I gave it:
Carpenters with Other Voices in the Mix
I included the featured guest vocalist(s) in parenthesis.
1. At The End Of A Song (the O.K. Chorale)
2. Kiss Me The Way You Did Last Night (Siedah Garrett)
3. Make Believe It's Your First Time (The O.K. Chorale)
4. All You Get From Love Is A Love Song (Julia Tillman, Carlene Williams, Maxine Willard)
5. Honolulu City Lights (The O.K. Chorale)
6. Touch Me When We're Dancing (Carolyn Dennis)
7. The Uninvited Guest (The O.K. Chorale)
8. I Just Fall In Love Again (The Gregg Smith Singers)
9. Two Lives (The O.K. Chorale)
10. Little Altar Boy (The English Corale)
11. Because We Are In Love (The Wedding Song) (The O.K. Chorale)
12. Strength Of A Woman (Carolyn Dennis, Stephanie Spruill, Maxine Waters Willard)
13. The Rainbow Connection (The O.K. Chorale)
14. Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft (single version) (The Gregg Smith Singers)
15. Now (The O.K. Chorale)
16. I Can Dream, Can't I? (Jackie Ward, Mitch Gordon, John Bahler, Gene Merlino)
17. You're Enough (The O.K. Chorale)
18. Don't Cry For Me, Argentina (single version) (The Gregg Smith Singers)
19. Look To Your Dreams (single version) (The O.K. Chorale)
20. Making Love In The Afternoon (Bonus Track) (Peter Cetera)
By using single versions, I was able to make room for all these selections.
By stating Make Love In The Afternoon as a Bonus Track, this is a KC solo recording featuring Peter Cetera in the vocals.
This compilation has not been fully completed, so this track may appear in a more suitable location.
Plus, I chose to include Little Altar Boy because it can be listened to aside from being a Christmas selection.
