 Karen sang lead vocals on this song. It was also recorded and released in the 70's.

This is not a Carpenter/Bettis tune, but this writer has had a big career as a singer/songwriter in their own right.

Clue #4 This is an incredibly difficult song to sing. Richard, as do I, consider it one of Karen's finest vocal performances and has a definite "chill factor" quality to it. Surpisingly, Karen was never that fond of it.

Just FYI... I mentioned in one of the clues that this was a top 40 hit for the Carpenters. I was referring to the U.S. top 40 charts.

Recap and Clue #5 1) Karen sang lead vocals on this song that was recorded and released in the 70's. 2) This was a U.S. top 40 hit by the Carpenters. 3) This is not a Carpenters/Bettis tune, but this writer has had a big career as a singer/songwriter in their own right. 4) This is an incredible difficult song to sing. Richard considers it one of Karen's finest vocal performances on this "chill factor" tune, but surprisingly, Karen was never taken with the song. and... 5) This song was a hit outside the U.S. for the songwriter, a top 20 U.S. hit for the Carpenters, and hit the top 5 on the U.S. Billboard singles chart in the 21st century by an "idol."

Was I wrong? I thought it was Solitaire...as Karen never liked that song. It was a hit in England, it hit Top 20 in US for the Carpenters...and it was a Top 5 hit for Clay Aiken...
