The Carpenters had many strong album tracks. Some even stronger than songs that were actually released as singles. So i thought it would be fun to take a look at those tracks.
Here are the songs that i think would have made good singles:
-Reason To Believe - i think this was considered as a single due to lots of airplay but they decided to just get on with new material.
- Let Me Be The One- this one should have been released and would probably have been Gold certified I imagine.
-One Love - a nice track
- A Song For You - one of their bests although i think the sax solo would have to be shortened.
- The End Of The World - it was pretty much a full song anyway but a full recorded version would have been great, I have read that the live version from Japan was released as a promo single there.
- Desperado - one of many tracks from Horizon which could easily have been singles. It would have been interesting to merge Aurora & Eventide into one track for the B-Side
-Happy- another that could have made a strong single
Some more:
-Love Me For What I Am
-Can't Smile Without You
-I Just Fall In Love Again
-Sleigh Ride
-Kiss Me The Way You Did Last Night
What do you think? Any others?
