THE CARPENTERS FEATURE
ESSENTIAL
CARPENTERS
Dave and Karen had all the best tunes, but these are the ones we'll whistle for eternity 1. Superstar — for the immortal line ‘baby baby baby baby oh baby’.
2. Hurting Each Other — for its razor-sharp critique of the perversejealousy that blights the course of true love. Swoontastic.
3. For All We Know — a tentative glimmer of hope in the style of ‘We’ve Only Just Begun’ (see below). Only better.
4. This Masquerade — for that slinky Astrud Gilberto bossanova groove and closing flute solo. Mine’s a Bacardi on the rocks.
5. We ’ve Only Just Begun — the only serious option for the first waltz at a wedding.
5. Calling Occupants Of Interplanetan' Craft — for its cosmic import and palpable Supertramp influence.
7. (They Long To Be) Close To You — the first hit. The dawn of a chuffing great talent. etc, etc.
8. Please Mr Postman — because we’ve all, at some time in our lives, had those empty mailbox blues.
David Richard Carpenter - Karen to his schoolmates. Those grins in full. David hogs the limelight, but it was Karen who was immortalised.
