Hi All,
I always feel that PRIME TIME LOVE is one of their most adventerous songs. You start out with the drums, guitar, I think, and then a choral CARPENTERS intro, and then BANG. Karen's smoky vocals. And only the way Karen can sing them. I just love how she chooses to pronounce words a certain way, and on someone else, it would sound fake. A wonderful recording from the VOICE OF THE HEART collection.
My thoughts,
Cameron

 Hi Cam, I love "Prime Time Love", it's such an underated song. Richard's arrangement is very contemproary for the '80's, this is a hint of what could have been. I always think that if Karen were to have lived the Carpenters would have been recording songs like "Say Yeah" which was on Richard's first solo album "Time", could you imagine Karen singing "Say Yeah", it would have been TOTALLY HOT!

What a coincidence that this song is brought up in a topic. I was just listening to it yesterday. It's one I usually skip over, but this time I enjoyed it quite a bit and will give it another listen again. I like the 80's sort of feel it has.

This is one of the more risque songs that the Carpenters recorded, but definitely a great, great song! I love the bridge..."Trust is the answer, that's how it starts. I'll take my chances, this one's from the heart..." Karen showing good vocal range in this song.

I love this song too, and it is definitely underrated. It has a breezy 80s jazz feel to it. Karen sounds a little sassy and like she's really having fun. And Richard's backing vocals blend very well with her lead.
I only wish that Karen had recorded her parts of the backing vocals. That would have sounded incredible.
