    "Made In America" (1981) was the best selling album by The Carpenters via UMG.

    Herb Alpert and Burt Bacharach who were close friends with Karen and Richard were pallbearers at her funeral.

    Lyrics:
    Play us a song we can slow dance on
    We want to hold each other
    Play us a groove so we hardly move
    Just let our hearts beat together
    Oh baby, 'cause it feels so good
    When we're close like this
    Whisper is my ear and let me steal a kiss
    Come on and touch me
    When we're dancing
    You know you've got that loving touch (loving touch)
    Oh oh oh oh, touch me when we're dancing
    I want to feel you when I'm falling in love (feel you when I'm falling in love)
    Tonight's the night and it feels so right
    My heart is saying it to me
    You're the one I've waited for so long
    So let your love flow through me
    Oh baby, 'cause it feels so good
    Just to be this close
    You've got me up so high
    I could fly coast to coast
    Come on and touch me
    When we're dancing
    You know you've got that loving touch (loving touch)
    Oh oh oh oh, touch me when we're dancing
    I want to feel you when I'm falling in love (feel you when I'm falling in love)
    Touch me when we're dancing
    You know you've got that loving touch (loving touch)
    Oh oh oh oh, touch me when we're dancing
    I want to feel you when I'm falling in love (feel you when I'm falling in love)
    Touch me when we're dancing
    You know you've got that loving touch (loving touch)
    Oh oh oh oh, touch me when we're dancing

    If y'all haven't heard yet,
    Tori Holub !!!
    She sounds so close to Karen you cannot distinguish the 2.
    AND she sounds so close to Olivia Newton John you have to guess.
    AND, check out the new Randy Travis release, Where That Came From.

      Thank you greatly for recommending Tori Holub. I have never heard of her, clicked her channel and immediately teared up. The Carpenters mark the memories of my younger years and Tori’s sound hit like lightning.

      I was shocked and teary eyed as well.
      Her Olivia is just as amazing !
      She has Karen's lows AND Olivia's high notes.
      Glad to assist.
