Did the Carpenters record any songs specifically for children?
A children's music album would have been perfect for Karen's voice.
This is one more area of music where R & K would have excelled.

The only one that I am aware of that comes close to "children's" song would be "Sing." I think it came from Sesame Street.

Well they did record BLESS THE BEAST AND THE CHILDREN but that was for a movie, with children in it, so I guess that is the closest thing. Also, they guested in 1973 on ROBERT YOUNG WITH THE YOUNG along with Sandy Duncan and Arte Johnson. Karen and Richard sang with the cast the song SING. They also sang SOMETIMES which Karen did a marvelous "LIVE" rendition of it. Ohhh...that songs gives me gooesbumps listening to it. Karen's vocal is heavenly. So anyways, they go on to record SING for themselves, and do it in Japanese and Spanish. Also Karen and Richard sang CRYSTALL LULLABY which is featured by them, on a LULLABY album. Other songs that could be on it would be
Sing Goodnight Crystall Lullaby Sleep Little Children Make Me Laugh(from Dorothy Hamill tv special) Happy Please Mr Postman Top of the World Goofus Bless The Beast and Children Those Good Old Dreams Beechwood 4-5789 Look To Your Dreams The Rainbow Connection Sing(Japanese concert clip of them in 1974)
These are all the songs that I could think of. Soothing and with themes for the most part that a child could listen to...
My thoughts, Cameron

Hi Cam, I don't think I have ever heard the song ' make me laugh ' before. that sounds like a nice song, was it in the Robert Young special ? I love 'sing ' when Karen and Richard have the Japanese Children sing it in Japanese those kids are so cute and you can see Karens maternal nature in the Live in Japan video that is a video worth seeing
