LOVE MAKING LOVE TO YOU

[cam83]

Hi All,
Right now, I am listening to the unreleased solo song LOVE MAKING LOVE TO YOU. So here are some thoughts regarding this. Nice beginning and then Karen's approachable vocals start a slow boil. Very silky approach. Sensual. I love when she says GIVE ME MORE LIKE BEFORE and you can hear Karen in the background in an interesting vocal approach. Then booms comes the chorus and she never sounded lovelier. A cool song. A love song as well. It just has a warm, pleasant feel to this song. It's too bad, they didn't release this song on her solo album KAREN CARPENTER, maybe in place of STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU or GUESS I JUST LOST MY HEAD which are neat approaches to Karen's reading, but I think LOVE MAKING LOVE TO YOU would have been better!!

My thoughts,
Cameron

Hi Cam...

I simply think that the song could have been add to the record without removing any others...
They all have a little something, so, a simple addition would have been great(there was enough time left on the CD).

Howdy,

Well origionally, her album was to only have had 11 tracks. LAST ONE SINGING THE BLUES was a bonus track that Richard added on in 1996. So for that time era in 1980 when it was to have been released, probably for lack of time on the vinyl LP, they wouldn't have added more tracks. Now with cd technology, it's common for artists to add a few bonus tracks not origionally in the origional Album, because of extra time.

Your right... But, They album never saw the light of day in 1980. It was released in the era of CD..., in 1996..., so, they could have add a couple of songs. There wasn't a side A/sideB to respect.

Hi all,
I love "Love Making Love To You", it is such a marvelous song and agree it should be released.

Cam - I wouldn't replace "Guess I Just Lost My Head" from the solo album, this is one of the best songs on the album. If I had to chose one song to delete to make room for "Love Making Love To You", it would either be "Still Crazy After All These Years" or "Still In Love With You". But, really I think all the unreleased solo songs should be released as a second solo album. There are eleven including "Basket Case" and "Church Choir (Wild)", that's enough for it's own album. To make part two of Karen's solo album into twelve tracks they could include a remixed dance version of "Don't Try To Win Me Back Again".

Anyway, "Love Making Love To You" is truly a fantastic song.

HAVE A HAPPY DAY!

Oh Man! I could not agree more
Love Making Love To You is just
the greatest! Don't Try Win Me
Back again would really make a
fantastic dance mix. I pray that
the rest of the unreleased tracks
are officially released on a second
Karen solo album. Has anyone ever
heard Basket Case or Church Choior
Wild? Its strange that they have
remained so elusive. Its hard for
me to imagine what they must sound
like with such far out titles.
