What is your Carpenters SONG OF THE DAY? I choose "Making Love In The Afternoon", I think this song deserves more attention. It is such a great power-pop tune. This is an easygoing carefree Karen and I love it. I give this one FIVE STARS.

Well, I pick We've Only Just Begun because last week it was this song that came on the radio and I haven't heard any Carpenters on the radio in ages so I was tickled to hear this.

My favorite from her solo album is My Body Keeps Changing My Mind. My second best is If We Try. My song of the day is Don't Try To Win Me Back Again from her unreleased solo tracks... Her vocal overdubs, at the end, are crazy..., this is great. [glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland C.[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow]

I agree with Roland "Don't Try To Win Me Back Again" is out of this world, absolutely fabulous, and it needs to be mixed and released. Enigma - yes MLITA would have certainly been a huge hit in 1980-81. As big as Kim Carnes' "Bette Davis Eyes". I also love Karen's voice in 1969, she really did start out great and remained great.

My song of the day is Maybe Its You I just love the harmonies and arrangement they do Karens magnificent vocal justice. Can you tell I am a little stuck in the early period of the Carpenters? I just so love that sweet innocent voice of our young Karen.

Yes I agree with you Enigma. I love the early Karen. What a mixture of youth and maturity wrapped together in one astounding voice. Let's see, I'll pick For All We Know as my song of the day, because it is my all time favorite Carpenter song. One of the shortest songs in their repertoire but just amazing in its' beauty. Doesn't it just capture the beginning of love. And it won the Academy Award for Best Song in 1971. I see it as a choral masterpiece. And to think that Richard was given this song at the last minute and he and Karen rushed into the studio and voila! A stunning masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"For All We Know" is an absolutely stunningly beautiful song. My newly bought CDs (#s 2, 3,4) and the two DVDs have captivated me beyond words. They were such an awesome, timeless talent. KC, between her outstanding drumming and ethereal, ionespeheric vocals, is among the Very Best musical perfomers that ever lived, bar None. "Another Song" is Devastating but there are so many that keep rotating in my head like a musical rainbow. "Let Me Be The One" is also very bueatifully mysterious.

Boy this could go on for a while I like it!
My song of the day is (A Place To) Hideaway this song got in my head because a coworker of mine was talking about finance and the need to have rainy day fund. For some reason this got me thinking of the old saying save your pennies for a rainy day and then I started singing in my head "I’ll save my pennies for a rainy day. But where can I buy another you?" and the song has stuck in my head ever since. I had not played the song for a while to that point so it was rather strange but it is a good song, its Karen, its soo cool!

Favorite songs...hmmm...song of the day...it varies but sometimes I will listen to a song that I have not heard in awhile, and just examine it intently. Right now, I am so into Karen's solo work. I am just so amazed at how gifted she was, and how she was much more than a singer...albeit supertalented...she was a talented musician. I mean when you really think of it, she did all the vocals(except in Making Love...), and helped in every aspect of the recording...as Phil Ramone says, "There was not one part of the recording process that she was not involved in," which is so true.

hi all, I don't own Karen's solo album, so, I'm not familiar with songs from that one. I guess for today, I'm hung up on Goodbye to Love, even though it's not one of my very favorites...but R. and K.'s perfect harmonies and Tony Peluso's great guitar work surely fit together. When the song first came out on the radio, I was, like many, surprised at Tony's kind of crazy guitar work because it was not the smooth and calm songs we were used to at that point in timecoming from the Carps. But as a result, that difference helped make it a success.
