    This is a Neil Sedaka song who wrote en recorded this song in 1972 but from all the many covers there is out there i think The Carpetners version is my most favorite version from "Solitaire"

    Karen's beautiful voice is so recognizable that all you have to hear is her sing one note and you know it is her. Truly the mark of a special singer. I was fortunate enough to see The Carpenters in concert in 1976. I'm 78 and I still think of that concert as one of the highlights of my life.

    The music was composed by Neil Sedaka with Lyrics by Phil Cody back in 1972. First sung by Neil Sedaka on 11/01/1972. His live performance of his song is just beautiful with a full orchestra accompaniment. Brilliant! You must check it out.

  • @2Cambourne

    Written by singer/songwriter Neil Sedaka. Sung hauntingly beautiful by the late great Karen Carpenter. Brilliant! You should do a reaction to the original by Neil Sedaka. You will be pleasantly surprised. Lovely reaction by you both.

    • @jamesrawlins735

      It was actually written by the great Leon Russell and Bonnie Bramlett (of Delaney and Bonnie - she also played the tall blonde heavyset waitress on Roseanne). The idea for the song came from Rita Coolidge, who got the idea after watching the relationships of female groupies and rock stars. In fact, the first version of the song was called Groupie (Superstar).

    I just finished playing online solitaire for a couple of hours and wanted to listen to some music; ironically this was the first video I watched (love Shawn and Mel's reactions). It's an addiction for me, like some people are addicted to video games. (Someone up there is sending me a message with this song?). Karen hated this song and didn't want to sing it, but was talked into it. Her voice is incomparable.

    Richard Carpenters magnificent arrangement skills are showcased in this song. Every instrument is in its place and Karen’s vocals in the center of it and holding it all together. In my opinion it is Karen’s best vocal performance. Rumor has it Karen didn’t like the song but like any true artist she nailed her performance. This is one of their best songs in my opinion.
