I am so blown away by this song. Too be truthful, when I heard the Karen Carpenter solo album, I thought it was very good. I liked the majority of the songs, and then I heard this BONUS song at the end of the album and I was so shocked! Her vocal reading is flawless especially the way she wraps her vocals to the melody making it her own. It makes you second guess why as a singer she was always overlooked...She really did have talent! Some think singing can come natural and in Karen's case it did, but I am sure she had to work at vocal interpretations to add some dimension to songs. Even if she hadn't, she would have still sounded lovely. I also love the way that in this song, she instructs the guys to how the song should go. This shows that she did have a huge hand in creating and developing the song. Just a zinch slower, Lib(Liberty DeVitto, the drummer), and Don't forget the break! were words she said to instruct them. It's neat to hear that. She underplays the song, and I can imagine her singing this little tune in a bar and getting a standing ovation. I wonder if Karen could scat, like Ella Fitzgerald?
I love the word, YEAH that she sings at the end.
