Liner notes from The Singles 1969-1973 written by Digby Diehl:
One of those "Late Late Show" classics, Rhythm On The River, starring Bing Crosby, is a movie about a songwriter who struggles his way to the top and then is deserted by his songwriting talent. In the plot, the composer's most famous song was entitled Goodbye To Love. There was no real Goodbye To Love in that movie, but Richard liked the title and it became the first single by the Richard Carpenter / John Bettis songwriting team.
Musically, Goodbye To Love is an innovation in the Carpenters style, with poignantly downbeat lyrics and Tony Peluso's bold but melodic fuzz-guitar solo. But a lot of people from all sides of the musical spectrum pushed this hit into the Top 10, which pleased Karen because this is her favorite single.
