 There are severAl excellent songs on KC's solo album. And we've had several different discussions on the album.
So here's another topic. Of the twelve songs released on her solo which song or songs do you think is or are the most popular overall ( by fans and non-fans alike).
The songs on the album are:
"Lovelines"
"All Because Of You"
"If I Had You"
"Making Love In The Afternoon"
"If We Try"
"Remember When Lovin' Took All Night"
"Still In Love With You"
"My Body Keeps Changing My Mind"
"Make Believe It's Your First Time"
"Guess I Just Lost My Head"
"Still Crazy After All These Years"
"Last One Singing The Blues"
I will come back with my input a little later on. |

I prefer "Still Crazy After All These Years". I really think Karen does a super job on this song.

There are a few songs which I would say run for most popular KC solo song.
The top three I would have to say are:
"My Body Keeps Changing My Mind"
"If I Had You"
"Making Love In The Afternoon"
I would have to theorize that of those three songs the one which has ended up becoming the most popular or best known song is "Making Love In The Afternoon". I feel this is true for a few reasons.
One because it's one of the better liked songs by fans of Karen Carpenter.
Second fans of Peter Cetera/Chicago also know about this song and several of them have downloaded the song or purchased the entire KC solo disc just to own this song. Because of Peter Cetera I feel "Making Love In The Afternoon" has received that extra little push to make it the most popular song on KC solo.
Any other viewpoints on this? |

I would think that MY BODY KEEPS CHANGING MY MIND is the most popular song on the album...as it was heard first on FROM THE TOP and it got great reviews...plus it was disco...and was able to show off Karen's vocals. I also think IF I HAD YOU would be tied with this song...all those vocal overdubs are amazing...so complex, unique and unheard. What a wonderful song as well...
My thoughts,
Cam

I have to agree with Rick on Making Love In The Afternoon. His theory about Peter Cetera sounds logical and it's my favorite song off the album.

 If I had You- awesome background vocals and a great agressive lead vocal!

My favorite would have to be My Body Keeps Changing My Mind. I've never understood what all the fuss was about this song being too risque for Karen. I think it has a great beat and Karen once again tackles another genre of music with great ease.

Rick we like the same three songs in the same order! I know if it had been released Love Makin Love to You would would probably challenge Makin Love In the Afternnoon but My Body Keeps Changing My Mind and If I Had You are just simply studio masterpieces! I will never get over how complex they are from a vocal stand point. I think if that album had been promoted better when it was released at least one of those three songs would have charted, who knows maybe even to a top 10! I still believe there are a lot of people who are not even aware it exits, which really makes a big difference when an album is released. I know Universal would go out of business completely before considering a rerelease, only this time posters in record stores a couple of TV spots and everyone who missed it the first time would deffinetly take notice. Its just one hell of an album.
