Karen's voice is unparalleled, as most of us here would agree. Further, we also agree about Richard's incredible talents, to quote a phrase, as "Pianist-Arranger-Composer-Conductor." A current thread included Harry's challenge that we revisit songs that might be our "least favourites." This made me think about the entire Carpenters' catalogue, not just my favorites, fronted by Karen's unique and wonderful voice. It brought me back to the days when I bought the albums and listened to each song in order, never skipping anything, savoring every moment. There was always much to enjoy then, as there is now! Some of Richard's instrumental compositions (e.g., "Karen's Theme," "All Those Years Ago") are brilliant!
With all that in mind, I have compiled onto CD a grouping of songs, I call Richard Carpenter: Best Lead Vocals/Instrumentals. It's satisfying and enjoyable to my ears, and I'd like to share it with you. I welcome any reaction...
