As most of us know, the Carpenters were notorious for throwing together a medley
every "Now and Then". I thought it would be fun to revisit a topic not discussed all that often.

PJ said:Following on from Knowing When To Leave as part of Bacharach/David Medley, which Carpenters medleys are personal favourites?
I have picked four favourites :
1. Music, Music, Music TV Special Medley -Karen and Richard closed their 1980 special with this moving, brilliantly Arranged & Performed Medley.
2. Now and Then Medley -Great K&R Lead Vocals, Carpenters Harmonies on these timeless songs.
3. Superstar/Rainy Days & Mondays -from 1976 TV Special as featured on As Time Goes By (2001) : Karen's short but breathtaking interpretation of two Carpenters Classics.
4. Live Bacharach/David Medley from 1974 Vegas Concerts: Wonderful to hear Carpenters Performing the Full Medley and with great Group backing.
There are others that come to mind Karen/Ella, Carpenters/Como -but these four are particular favourites Any other choices?
