Hi Everyone,
What song of theirs did you not fancy one bit and now it is your FAVORITE song?
For me, in the summer of 1988, I bought the twin tape (2 albums on one cassette) of the Carpenters, The Singles, 1969-1973 AND The Singles 1974-1978...so at this point, I had heard the whole Singles 69-73 by heart but on an 8-Track and even though it was great, the sound quality was not as great until I heard the cassette version and was BLOWN away at the sound and clarity....And then I listened the second Singles album day in and day out. Except I could NOT stand the song Solitaire....I just thought it was BORING BORING BORING....it just dragged on...A second song I disliked as well was All You Get From Love Is a Love Song....didn't do anything for me at all...
Skip years later and I gave SOLITAIRE a good listen and then began to appreciate her vocals as being soooo sublime, with her being a masterful vocalist at getting the best out of her crystalline vocals...it IS a gorgeous song, very range-y but shows it off to great advantage....and for me, I think it is the BEST vocal she ever laid down (with Ave Maria, Trying To Get The Feeling Again)....
All You Get From Love Is a Love Song also grew on me...and it is irresistible ear candy! The vocals and background vocals...the instruments...just stunning....
My thoughts,
Cameron
