    Well said. This is such a classic American Pop song. The way they USED to be written. It has 1970 written all over it. An amazing time it was.

      It was an amazing time. I especially miss the music, but also the movies, restaurants, and the way we all got along. Also, I remember seeing Cathy perform on Jerry Lewis' telethons. Cool lady.

    This is my Aunt Cathy. I love and miss her so much. I feel blessed to be named after such an amazing person. She had the heart like no one I've ever met.

    I often come back to listen to Cathy Carlson's lovely version of this superb pop standard. Although I am most familiar with the Carpenters' outstanding version of this song, Cathy does it proud, for sure. It's a wonderful record. I also enjoy hearing Jack Jones, Anne Murray, and Vikki Carr's takes on it, too. I wish the versatile Jody Miller could have taken a crack at it. She uses such inventive phrasing that I would have loved hearing how she would have approached it. Wonderful upload

    I'm really missing her today. I wish my children could have had her sing to them. Thankfully people have put my mother's albums on UA-cam so I can play them for my babies and they can hear their amazing grandmother.

      @Leigha Shaker. Out of all the versions I've heard, hands down your mom's is *the best*. Her voice is so soulful and she sang with her heart. You must be so proud.

      Hi Leigha. I love your mom's singing so much. She had a quality you only here in great singers like Dionne Warwick. She should be better known. Was she from San Diego or did she live in SD when she was young? I ask because she worked with June Jackson, who discovered , wrote for, and produced a lot of talent from San Diego.

    Why did this not chart??? Cathy's vocal is spot on and the arrangement is beautiful.

    I must confess my ignorance of this lovely singer (until now). After hearing this tune I played all the other UA-cam tracks I could find. I think her most up-tempo and rocking single (also produced by Don Costa on DCP) is "I Didn't Know What Time It Was" (1975). Thanks for motivating me to broaden my musical knowledge Anthony!

    You pick good singles many would say should've been hits and this record here introduced the sounds of orchestration of the seventies many us will hear throughout that decade. It's too bad Cathy didn't get the boost radio hits but her voice showed the greatness of what she can bring on to disc or in front of the camera.

    She's got a Diana Ross thing going - really suits this song. I wish the grooves were a little more centered at the pressing, but thanks for posting!

  • @rascal211

    Best version. Has a more fuller sound than the Carpenters version, with the instrumentation and background singers and Cathy is great on lead vocals.

    • @neimanmarkster

      L Lance Of course it does! It’s a Don Costa arrangement! The man is a genius. This blew me away!

  • @Nostaljack
    @Nostaljack 11 років тому +4

    Yeah, it is. It's second to this one. I loved Karen's version for many years and always will. I heard this just a few weeks ago for the first time and, to my ears, Cathy's vocal is actually better (almost an impossible feat).

  • @dm95422
    @dm95422 12 років тому +5

    Karen Carpenter's version is second to none.

  • @Nostaljack
    @Nostaljack 11 років тому +3

    This is such a great track but your 45 isn't in very good shape. The center hole appears to be really off or you didn't have a spindle to play this back. Lovely tune, though, and I appreciate your efforts.
