Hey Carps! Until a few weeks ago I only had the VHS version of Remembering The Carpenters. When I received my DVD as a gift, I was amazed at the quality. MY VHS copy would only play the left channel!!! MY favorite extra on the DVD is the KRFC radio jingle!!! I feel like those of you who live in the LA area must have enjoyed a closer connection to the C's. I think that having the Carpenters doing radio jingles must have made you Californians feel like they were part of your life. Did the Carpenters do any other radio programing? I love to hear the stories! ;)Thanks JIM

I really like "Good Friends Are Forever, Good Friends Are For Keeps" (whatever the real title is)--the Bell Telephone commercial the Carpenters did. I think that could have been a hit! I really enjoy just the steady, easy-going, down-to-earth rhythm of the song....just kind of "truckin" along...would like to hear a FULL version if there is one. Of course, the Morton Potato Chips commercials are great, too.

I really like the KFRC radio jingle. It's fun to sing along to. ;D This is a good one to sing along to. I found a Portuguese Carpenters web site that has a clip of the radio jingle, plus it has clips of the 1971 Coca-cola commercial and the Morinaga Hi-Crown Chocolate commercial. Here's the site... geocities.yahoo.com.br/yagami1978/mp.html Here's the home page to this site... geocities.yahoo.com.br/yagami1978/segundo.html ...If you don't speak or read Portuguese, you can still find your way around this site. It's a very well-done site. I recommend it highly. Laura

I just visited the Portuguese site you recommended. I listened to the Coca Cola song (I've already heard the other jingles). Sorry to say the Coca Cola commercial is not the Carpenters - it's done in Carpenters style - but it definitely is not them.

I forgot to mention that it wasn't them. Thanks for pointing it out! Laura

Other than the funny mix up with the Coca Cola song, the site is really nice.
