In case people didn't know, Paul Williams cowrote this song and it was originally a commercial for Crocker Bank. Later, Richard Carpenter, Karen's brother, got the right to re-record from Williams, who was now helping write songs for the Carpenters. The rest is history. Classic song. Can you imagine if this song was rendered obsolete along with an old obsolete bank, and commercial!?

Paul Williams wrote most of their early, big hits. Richard Carpenter was the band leader and did the arrangements. He let his little sister play drums and one day she sang and floored everybody. No one knew she had that voice.

@@joannacianfarani0412 She only had some vocal lessons while she was in college. When she sang in the college choir. The director of the choir, Frank Pooler, gave Karen some vocal lessons. This was the only formal vocal instruction Karen ever received. Not everyone can have singing lessons then make it big, otherwise we would all be on stage. You still need the gift. I'll pay for you a weeks worth of singing lessons, then let's see how many millions of albums you can sell.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. It wasn’t until the late 70s that she took actual lessons for her solo album for help with her upper register.

Can you believe Karen's voice? In those ancient times when I was young most performances bore no studio tricks and enhancements other than sound balance and some additional instruments tracks. Singers would record multiple takes of one song and choose the best one. Musicians and singers would go into a studio, spend a few days or couple of weeks recording 10-15 songs then release an album in a matter of months sometimes mere weeks. That's why studio and live performances sounded so much alike.
