Spending 2 weeks at #1 in December 1973, this was the second #1 single for the Carpenters to top the Hot 100, the first was "Close To You" in 1970.
Originally an album cut, not to be released as a single it was covered by Lynn Anderson and went to #2 on the Hot Country chart in the summer of 1973. Also a #5 hit in the UK for the Carpenters it was rerecorded by Karen for their greatest hits compilation because she wasn't happy with the original single release.
Such a beautiful voice lost so young. I wish I could have seen her in concert.
