Apart from her incredible voice of the century we should also praise how masterfully the other musicians served so neatly and smoothly to bring out 100% feeling in this song! They were world class as well!

If you watch and listen to a lot of Carpenters on utube you’ll know that at least half the people get tears. It’s amazing!!! It happens to me too. Their music is phenomenal! And I doubt there is any other music that evokes this much emotion to make so many people cry. 😊

My Oh My!! Slap on some quality headphones. The instrumentation and harmonies are off the charts. Karen’s voice is crystal clear, pitch perfect and superb as usual. Richard really knew how to compose and arrange songs which brought out the best in Karen. These songs are timeless gems 💎

I remember listening to The Carpenters, like every one else, growing up in the 70s. As a teenager of 15,1983, heard the news of Karen's passing. Broke my heart. So young. So talented. I, as everyone else, miss you Karen.❤

Your "enhancements" are GREAT! This is my all-time favorite Carpenters tune. Released 42 years ago and I still love it! Sad to think that Karen left us 35 years ago already... Thanks again for all of your hard work you put into this and reintroducing us to this classic Carpenters track!

Excellent, clean re-master. 'Course, if you started with their CD, you had a heck of a mix to start with. I've listened to their songs time and again. She is my all-time favorite female vocalist. My late wife loved her, too. We spent many an hour listening, singing to each other, and basically enhancing our lives together. Thanks for the good work.

Carpenters are the best! Like singer/composer Paul Williams said that some people called them "vanilla," but how exquisite a flavor vanilla is. Karen Carpenter is one of the finest singers who ever lived and her perfect pitch and impeccable timing (and Richard's arrangements) are awesome any singer or group would be lucky to have.

I didn't think it was possible either. When you get these requests (and they throw the book at you) and up comes the Carpenters I thought to myself "these songs don't need to be to be improved on" so what am I to do to improve on them? You almost have to be a crazy man to take on some of these musical challenges. I will say one thing about the Carpenters. When I decided to work on some of their songs there could be no sloppy piling of tracks on top of the original without serious consideration. I had to sharpen my talents to the absolute extreme if I was to make any improvement on these songs. These people are incredible I want to honor their memory by keeping the standard as high as I can. I plan on doing more Carpenters in the future too. Kenn
