 Notes & Reviews
 
 
What a beautiful voice Karen had. Really enjoyed it!!
- Kevin Lew, 01/03/2006, USA

Their breakthrough album. Though there are a good number of covers on this album -- I keep thinking about the original artists each time I hear them -- this is a must for any Carpenters collector because, to my knowledge, it is the only release containing the full-length version of 'Close to You'. One track, 'Crescent Noon', is stunning. Richard and Karen were finally formulating a winning style.
- Mickey N Frith, 02/18/1999, USA

Full title is: Close to You


The song and the LP that sparked America's love affair with Karen and Richard Carpenter! The album, one of the all-time soft-rock classics, hit #2 and the title tune hit #1; it joins the smash We've Only Just Begun ; their take on Help! ; Richard's own Maybe It's You, and more.
